Neither have a 12V trigger or source.
And why would using a relay be a bad idea? Putting it in the power-line I’d agree with it being a bad idea.
I’m talking about voiding the warranty and opening the amp up and putting the relay in parallel with the power-switch such that when the receivers 115V switched output goes high, it closes the relay. The relay would act just like someone turning on the switch manually.
Also, if the “amp” sounded like shit, then why are they used for concerts and live productions? Not to mention I’m seeing more and more Pro-Amps in very very high end home theater setups than single-box receivers.
The “musical” and quality ratings of the amp are astounding from what I’ve read, with almost all being 8/10 or better.

I understand thats what you are talking about, but what does that switch actually switch? On the pro audio amps i saw, it just switched the line voltage anyways, so in that case i would just make a switched outlet in a enclosure to bypass the whole opening and running wires out thing…
And yes, the pro audio amps i used sounded horrible. But that only 3… Have you ever went to a concert that sounded good by any means? Theyre allways horrid and aimed at making it as loud as it can be basically.
And what ratings are you talking about? Most ratings are somewhat biased, where the reviewer got the amp for free to review it, so the say its great so they will get more in the future. Or if this is by customers, people buying pro audio amps generally dont understand what good sound is.
But anyways, im sure most people wont notice the difference. I hear people driving around with thier subs at full volume, woofers beyond thier natural excursion and the amp is clipping… They dont care, or know…
Glad your happy with it, what kind of sub is it?
