QUESTION

I have to 2 AMPs and one of them is hooked up using the mini cable through 12v trigger output from my pre/pro to the input of one of my AMPs.

My question is how I can hook my 2nd AMP to the 12v trigger output of my pre/pro.

    daisy chained them - out from pre/pro to the first amp - out from the first amp to the in of the second amp (assuming all have 12v trigger in/out, specifically the amps) hope it helps!
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I can't daisy chain because the 1st amp doesn't have the output.

    can you start with the second amp and make the amp w/o the 12v trigger out the last one in the chain? the order of the chain doesn't need to be in sequence with the order of powering the speakers, in other words, triggering on/off is completely independent of the actual speaker wiring of them. It is simply to feed on/off signal from the preamp.
