Thanks for responding. but can you describe the general layout to me how to install the switch off the positive terminal without a cable kit?

The switch is spliced into the existing cable. If you choose a remote location a length of cable can be added.

Thanks for posting the install/fitment pictures Z!
IMO, I can see why this particular piece is used in transport only though... I'd be particularly worried about the intermediate male-female link, and not having the switch mounted to anything. It's for those reasons when it comes time for me to do a disconnect (or when I get around to it) that I'll use some 1/0 to run a new ground cable all together....right from the battery to switch and down to the chassis ground, eliminating unnecessary connections.

This is a non-starter for me. I didnt want to cut/splice/touch the original harness so everything is plug and play

Depending on you're distance, I wouldn't go smaller than 1/0 awg. I don't recall what the factory ground cable is (4....maybe 2 gauge?). 1/0 is some pretty thick sh!t though....I doubt it would give you any issues (except for maybe not bending very easily).

I agree, don't want to splice existing wires. If possible, I am going to try to mount the switch so that it is accessible and looks factory installed without removing anything as I have would have to remove subwoofer and 'stuff' that is bolted to main cover.

You could still use that hella switch as the posts in the back are just threaded studs. Cut the heat shrink, undo nut, discard short cable & replace with you're own cable. Throw some heat shrink back on and you should be golden. Whole job should take maybe 15 mins tops!
