How did you run the remote wire? If you used an accessory it should turn off when the car is off.

The LX doesnt have a remote wire running but it is available to connect at pin 21 on the 24P connector

You need to find a fuse that is not powered all the time and run it to there. Then you can use T-taps to run your toggle switch and snip the wire between the taps.

Exactly. The kill switch on the remote wire will help with cutting your amp instantly if need be (Cops). The garnish is really simple to take out, depending on the switch you choose, you may have to modify the back of the garnish to mount it flush.
Pop the panel off (this should be really easy.)

I had to use a dremel tool to make space for the switch to fit.

Im always afraid to use the technical terms since not everyone is in the engineering field. :p To reiterate what flip said. A simple on-off switch: The two terminals are either connected together or disconnected from each other. An example is a light switch.
