Quick brainstorming says-

1. Rear window defroster switch.
2. Relay.
3. Medium gauge wire from switch to activate relay.
4. Large gauge wire from power to relay to amp.

The light built into the switch will help to remind you that it is draining
power. Also- it looks stealthy, which is a good thing.

Other options include a different relay setup that will drop the power to the
amp when you switch the car off.

It's late, I'm sleepy. email me for more info.
