Now that I got your attention, does anyone know where to buy one of these prewired switches?

Any electronics parts store. Some research may be required to find one in your area, but once you find one its extremely handy to know about. In my experience, they generally have prices lower than ebay (at least the bigger stores...)

finding a prewired one might be more difficult than just the switch. but then again wire is cheap and you can decide what gauge wire to use. are you in a hurry to get these in your hands?

Active surplus.

Either on steels or queen.

Guess I should have said.
I know RadioShack (I call it that because I like it that way) doesn't have it, Sayal, I've been there once and it had just the switch. The prewiring makes everything 100 times easier.
I might have to look into Active Surplus

Yea, those are unfortunately too large of a knob :(

The one on bestbypass might work

Looks like the ones Audio Heaven uses. Ask them where to get one or ask Mohammed Issa at Future shop on hwy7 and Warden. He does installs there. PM or text me if you want his number.

A lot don't come wired but would take you 30 seconds with a crimper and some spades

+1 to this place. I've been there for a couple things including parts for an electronics course I took a few years ago. They seem to have literally everything.
