Exterior speakers and selector switches
Hi all I'm in the process of adding outdoor speakers to my trailer and I need some help on how I should wire my speakers.
I will have three zones in my set up, front, rear and outside. I want be able to control each zone separately. Currently I have my 12 volt stereo hooked up to my front and rear speakers, my outdoor speakers will be powered by two channel amplifier. To control the outdoor speakers I will use remote lead on the amplifier to turn this on or off, this will be a lit switch and I will not use the deck power I will just use the power feeding the deck control the switch.
My question is, can I use a lit switch to control my front and rear speakers separately or do I just need to use open close switches and forget about the lit switch? In total I will have three switches, each switch will control each zone.
For those of you who want to condone me on having outdoor speakers please don't, I'm just looking to add a little ambience not upset my neighbors!
