n8b	Re: Is this dangerous? I found this: http://www.aikenamps.com/CabSwitch.pdf on Randall Aiken's site. It's the cab switch project, which is similar to what I want to do, only I am only switching one speaker on and off. There doesn't seem to be any kind of protection there, just a 470 ohm 5 watt resistor between load and ground. What does this do? Or this method ok because it is switching to another load? BTW the relays I'm using are good for 12A. Nate
