The amp's red & black wires - the ones that give it power - screw into the back of this little box. Here's an example (currently listed on Ebay): I used that exact model box when I did this very same project when I was younger, btw. Worked great. ADDED BONUS: If your receiver has a spare power outlet in the back of it (a more high-end feature), just plug in the converter box into it for power...and everything will turn on and off at the same time your receiver does! Enjoy! It’s pretty simple really: you just need a 12v power converter box. The amp’s red & black wires – the ones that give it power – screw into the back of this little box.
