adding a on/off switch to amp

hey guys it's me again...you know there's this empty space for a switch right beside the cigarette lighter? it seems to be a good place for my amp switch...I'm sure someone has already done this....can you show me some pics ? any good place to shop for cool looking switches?

your amp should have a remote on/off wire connected to the HU

I did take off my head unit....that's why I still have it...gone are the stuffs in the trunk....and I only had it installed for 2 days...I was careful about the volume too when I leave or come home....about 2 blocks away at least...I don't know...it's maybe someone at the electronic store that I bought my stuffs from...they have my address and all...and I was still in the process of installing it so it wasn't bolted down....insurance isn't paying a cent for it...and to add insult to injury...my deductable is $300.....and the cost to fix my door locks and trunk locks is $380........how ironic

I really don't understand how hard it is to put in a switch for your amps. Any SPST swith will do...all you have to do is wire it inline on the remote line.
