LED/PA power problem!

Today i was trying too hook up the wires formy two 12" led strips, but couldnt get them working. Here is as far as I got
-- terminal ring->inline fuse->power wire->

After that i tried to attach the power wire to the switch and thats where i got confused. The switch only has two prongs and they are unmarked. Also my led strips wires are too this to work with. What can I do?

First, the switch goes on the power side in between your 12v and the led. ( your breaking current) the negative side just gets grounded. (from led to ground) good luck!

The wires from my LED strips are really thin/small so I am having trouble twisting them together. How else can I better connect the wires?

I have the same thin my wires on my strips. Strip them, twist them together and cap them with some pigtail connectors.

This is really easy man! Dont over think this!

that's literally all you have to do. switch can go on either side, and i'd honestly not even worry about a fuse
