    DSATX F1&F2 Amp hookup

    Does anyone have this feature hooked up? I don't know exactly how this is done. I want my amp to turn on after my pc turns on. Do you just run the F1 cable (12v) to the REM on your amp and then ground F2? I may be totally off but if someone can help me out than I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Oops, sorry...It turns out that the F1 position(12v) just goes into the REM(Remote) in the amp. This will then turn the amp on after it turns on the computer which in return removes the loud popping noise that is made if its the other way around(amp on first, then pc). Also, when the computer is shutting down the DSATX will shut the amp off first and then the pc which eliminates the popping noise while the pc shuts down.

    Wait a minute where did you find that?

    The F1/F2 is an open collector output. It will only pull to ground.

    Thats what you need to do. I also offer a kit for this.
