Using a Sunfire grand amp along with a Sunfire pre amp. The amp has an auto power on, but the pre amp has no plug recep. in the rear. How can I wire this so when I turn on the pre amp my amp comes on also. Thanks for taking my question, Doug

    Is there a 12volt trigger on the pre-amp?

    I guess i have a 12v main and zone 2 trigger current less than 500mA total. Brent if you can let me know how this can be used. Thanks for getting back to me. Doug

    that 12v main trigger should be a little 1/8 headphone jack type connection, there should also be the same type connection on your power amp that says 12v trigger. You need to hook those two connections together.

    Hey Brent wanted to get back to you. Before I took your advise I gave it a try. I guess with the power on the pre, it turns all on without the trigger hook up. Even my sub turns on. I learned something. Thanks for your reply.
