HI James,

Are special adapters necessary to use the 12v triggers?
What configuration would you recommend considering the lineup of 2 28b's, bp26/bp1.5/bmps-2, bcd-1, bda-1, bdp-1, and the 10bsub?

Would it be harmful to have everything plugged in 2 powerblocks (one connected to the other), and switch them on/off by switching on/off the first powerblock. That would prevent a whole system of trigger-wires....

I've also got the Quad ESL63's in the powerblocks.

Hi Marius

You can hook up the triggers using even 22 g wire as it only carries a very small voltage. There is a delay of about 1 second if you loop the trigger wire in and out of a unit as well. 

I usually set things up so the amps come on last - that way no chance of crap being amplified through your speakers.
