) and the loudspeaker loudspeaker or speaker, device used to convert electrical energy into sound. It consists essentially of a thin flexible sheet called a diaphragm that is made to vibrate by an electric signal from an amplifier. . When you switch off the VAA power switch, you stop power from going to the VAA and the radio, but not to the loudspeaker!

The speaker is still on and draining your vehicle's battery. To stop power to the loudspeaker, you must switch it on, too!

So maybe you're a rebel and you don't want to turn both switches off. Okay. There's room for your rebellion. Just turn the loudspeaker switch off! That switch stops power to the VAA and the radio, too!

So remember, the loudspeaker switch gives you three for the price of one, but the VAA switch only gives you two!
