delay startup circuit or device

Yes, the amp turn on lead, works as it's supposed to in terms of timing. Unfortunately, when I connect a load to it, the voltage drops substantially and won't trigger my amps. If you have a solution, I would be GREATLY appreciative!

Tip3055 transistor availabe from radio shack.  Output of your amp remote terminal of your carPC to the base (left leg) of the transistor.  Constant 12 volt feed to the collector (center leg, or the metal tab of the transistor)  Connect the remote terminals of the amps to the emitter (right leg) of the transistor.

The metal tab of the transistor will have 12 volts on it.  You must insulate it somehow.  A piece of 3/8 inch heat shrink tubing will slide over it and keep it from touching anything.

Simple NPN relay drive circuit:

If you are going to use a resistor on the base I would use a 470 instead of a 10K.  It is not required but recomended.

The common contact on the relay (pin 30) would connect to 12vdc and the NO output (pin 87) would be your output.

Thanks Kevin. I am about to make my ignorance very apparent here.  I'm really not good at reading schematics. Do you mind giving a brief explanation in laymans (dumb ***) terms? Once again I apologize for being a pain...I just want to make sure I understand completely. Thanks again.

What PSU on earth cant pull in a relay at 12v?

Either something is wrong with the way you measure the voltage or the PSU is not your solution and you need to follow the posts from oldspark and howie II on the first page.

No offense but I think you need an all-n-one solution to your problem. (I would) Buy the dei part or any relay with variable timing and skip the psu all together.
