I'm looking for a cheap 120 volt relay to use with my stereo system.
I've got a receiver that has pre in/main out jumpers and so I've
added a second power amp to it which is a lot more powerful that
what's already built into the receiver. I'm actually powering three
rooms of speakers (8 speakers all told); two sets on the receiver's
power amp and 4 speakers in my bedroom off the external power amp.

I want the power to the amp to come on whenever I power up the
receiver but it's a PITA to get to because of the way it's physically
installed.

The AC outlet on the back of the receiver is only rated for 100 watts
max. The power amp can draw up to 11 amps so the receiver's AC
outlet isn't going to work.

So what I think I need is a relay. The switched outlet on the back
of the receiver can power the coil and then the relay can handle the
power requirements of the external power amp.

So where can I find such a thing? Ideas?

Rat Shack has 'em if you don't have any other source. You can prolly
find a socket for one there too, or just cut both ends off an
extension cord leaving a few inches of wire on each and solder
directly to the relay's lugs.
