I have tons of kustoms but am not used to the blue switches. I ordered a amp online and the blue switch is knocked inside and the toggle on the back that says polarity goes left and right but I have no sound whatsoever. Thanks.

What model amp are you talking about, a Hustler or a Charger? Or has someone modded a metal front amp with a switch on the back?

It was a Hustler 4x10. I ended up taking it back because I had other issues with some of the other items I ordered and I wasn't happy with the way customer service was treating me. The amp itself was so clean I was really excited about it however I couldn't turn it on so it was no use to me.

On a Hustler, the blue front panel thing is only a pilot lamp. The power switch is the 3-position one on the back. It should have worked just like the 3 position switch on a K200-B head, on/off/on.
