- Well, it's not exactly a standard feature, but it should be usable
- and I'd go ahead and use it.
-
- All I'd worry about is drawing too much current through this turn on
- lead, but with just two amplifiers it shouldn't stress it out.
-
- Just join the two turn on leads from the amplifiers to the delay output
- on the crossover. DO NOT connect the main power leads on the amplifiers
- to the delay turn on, you'll smell your crossover.
-
- You can switch large currents with the addition of a high amp relay
- from an autoparts store (would be wise of switching on the amps,
- crossovers, power antennas, etc with one lead.)
-
- Q: Does the crossover click a few seconds after power-up? Just wonder-
- ing if the delay switching is solid state or if there's a relay
- in there.
-
- You might want to check it after your all set up, run the system at
- moderate volume for a bit and see if the crossover heats up
- significantly.
