Ok for a college project that would benefit me and get me an easy 'A' I decided to build myself a CarPC. I completely eliminated my factory stereo and replaced it with a 7" touchscreen monitor and the CarPC. The problem I ran into was how to get the RCA wires to speaker wire, I solved this by running the RCA to a low watt amp and then from the amp to my door speakers. The problem is when I turn on the car and the speaker port on the computer gets power it surges power through it creating a loud "click" in the speakers. It not a huge deal, but its very annoying. I got a temporary fix for this by adding a toggle switch that I have to flip on and off every time I start up the car/turn it off to turn on the amp. I am in need of a switch of some sort that will delay the power to the amp.
ex.
I start the car PC gets power -- PC sends power to AMP. I need to put on a 4-10 sec delay from the time the computer gets power till it turns the amp on.
If anyone knows a name of such switch I would be grateful if you tell me.
Thanks
