So I just received delivery of 3 Crown XLS amps that were a complete impulse buy. One thing I immediately noticed is there are no 12v triggers for power up. Since they don't have IR remote support (AFAIK), am I really limited to physically pressing the front panel power button to turn them on and off?

Of course, I could pick up remote switchable power outlet, but I'm wondering what everyone else does to turn their amps on and off. I know there a number of people on here using pro audio amps.

I use a power conditioners and sequencers. I have a sequencer that turns on each plug 10 seconds after the previous so not all amps are going on at the same time. I found it on eBay and works great. I have 3 different systems in my house and each uses a different one. You can checkout Furman Sounds or Panamax. There are other companies that makes them as well.
