The ADA amps use a much larger relay inside them than the EP sub woofers. As a result, they require larger amounts of current from the pre-amp trigger to switch them on.

Anthem for some reason decided to give a measly 40mA for the trigger line out. Not enough to power many external component switching, especially considering it is a PreAmp and needs 11 channels to drive the speakers. (13 for me as I have LFR's) + sub woofers.

I am going to need some help from someone who knows electronics as I know enough to get myself into trouble, but not enough to understand how to get around it.
