Hi all:
I recently came across a Nakamichi Sound Space 12 sub and satellites. I want to test the sub to see if it works. However, it has a 12v DC jack on the rear to get it turn on, and I don't have a receiver or any other component with a 12V trigger jack function.
What's the easiest safe way to trigger that thing to turn on? I've read that you can't go beyond a certain current limit on a trigger circuit, or you could damage the components.
Let's assume I have extremely little understanding of electronics.

The trigger circuit only required very current to activate, any 12VDC power supply with a 3.5mm plug will do.
So, you can confirm that it doesn't need to be current limited, because what I've read says it does. Of course, I might be misunderstanding it, since I know so little.

Can you quote something about the current limitations of ESP articles?
By the way, are you 100% sure that the "Power On/Off Control Input" on the rear panel is a 12VDC trigger input? I couldn't find any relevant information online. Is there a user manual?
