Just leave them powered on 24/7. They probably burn very little electricity as they use Class A/B amps, and constantly turning electronic components on and off isn’t great either. Sometimes the simplest solution is best. FWIW.
Using Smart Plugs to Turn on Subwoofers
I have a few TP Link Kasa Smart Plug HS103s lying around. I am currently running dual Rel T9x subs. The Rels only have a physical switch no remote. With my aging back, bending down to turn them on and off has been a challenge. I'm thinking about plugging each sub into a smart plug and have Alexa to turn them on and off. Anyone doing this?
The plugs are rated Input 100-120V-60Hz 15A; Output 15A Maximum load 15A X 120V = 1800W. This should be enough power to supply the T9x.
The other question is is it safe to turn on and off the subs without using the physical on/off switch.

@rocray The T9x are pretty impressive. Granted they are the only subs I have ever owned. I was pretty happy with just Nova -> Triangle Alphas. A friend told me you got to get dual subs. The sound stage feels so much bigger with them. Everything sounds more dynamic. @ mijostyn Thanks. I'll probably just leave them on then. They provide nice night light for the room. |
Hi sean1216, multiple subs are really great. If you can,try 3,4,or 5. It’s been discussed here many times about the benefits of multiple subs. All the hype is true. I can only squeeze 3 into my small listening room. If you can’t for whatever reason run more, I totally agree with running them in pairs. |
