Greetings All,
I would like to be able to mute my car stereo with just a push of a
button. The volume control is the digital type where a button is
pressed and the volume slowly rises or falls. If it was a knob type
I'd just twist it fast to zero and then twist it back to the original
setting. If the radio is turned off to mute it then it takes several
seconds for the sound to return when the radio is turned back on. If a
switch is used in the speaker wires will it harm the radio to have the
speakers connected and disconnected when the radio is playing? If so,
is there a way around this? Like maybe switching in a dummy load with
a make then break switch? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric
