Lol try turning off your radio. Or just have all the ground wires going to a switch.

A 20-amp switch is too much. All you need is a simple switch that connects one end to your radio's remote turn-on lead and the other end to the amps' remote turn-on inputs.

BTW, how amps do you have? Too many amps on a radio's remote turn-on output can burn it out eventually. A relay will solve this.

I use pause, mute or volume buttons But just put a small toggle switch. Remote leads draw very little current, so you should be fine.
