To turn on my Mc601 amps I got a radioshack 3 conductor 1/8" (3.5MM) phone jack, and wired ground to ground and plus to tip of the stereo jack. You need to use a stereo jack if you want the meters to illuminate. Then connect the plus side to the +12 and ground to the ground of the Pass XP-20 pre amp it has a connector on the back that looks like speaker connectors. then connect the Mac amps with 1/8 " stereo cables. The remote has a ext amp on as the XP - 20 is on all the time. I used this set up so if I use the Mac C220 pre I just unplug the cable and plug it into the mac.
