absence of 12v trigger on pre-pro

[mike c]

I have an HK335 working as my prepro and an RMB1077 amp.

I plan to use an AC/DC 12v converter with a 3.5mm jack (300-350mah) plugged into the switched outlet of the HK to trigger on the 1077.

will it be safe for my amp to do this?

(I heard of this idea from another forum and confirmed from the Outlaw website FAQ that there really are people who do this)

Will work perfectly fine!

thank you very much kevin!

Can you provide more info on this? ... Perhaps the converter you are planning to use? I'd like to try something like that.

[mike c]

sure (just want to confirm that it really works)

[deke]

Thanks Mike

What's the lowest mAmp rating on the converter that you'd want to use? And I'm assuming this is a constant current going to the amp from the AC/DC converter?

It doesn't need to be a whole lot on the converter, but I doubt you would find one that's too low. There's only going to be as much voltage flowing that's needed to trip the trigger. You could put a 900mA one on there and it's still only going to pull a little bit.
