anyone have some? im looking to do this but i need some ideas on the type of switch, location, etc. also, the wires i cut have to go from the hu to the switch and from the switch to the antenna, right? i dont really understand how to install the switch.

all the switches at my small hardware store are 120v. does that mean its rated for 120v or it can only be 120v? also, can someone with the power antenna clear up the wiring issues? after thinking about it, do i just leave the headunit wires hanging (but taped up) and connect the power antenna's positive and negative wires to the switch? C3L1CA, what did you use to make the square holes for your switches or are they actually circle holes?

the switches will work just fine and you can wire it either way but it'll be much easier to use the wire from the head unit.

Edit: if the switch has a light and is rated for 120V then the light isn't going to work.
