Delay Power to Amp by 1-2 seconds?

[JohnTN]

When power (12 volt) is turned on to an amp, is there any electrical "gizmo" that can be wired in the power line to delay power reaching the amp for 1-2 seconds?

I have found some time delay relays, but is there something simpler.

What's the purpose of the delay?

search for turn on pop module or amp delay module, I think stinger make one for car audio

The application is to delay engagement of an electronic overdrive transmission when the car shifts into high gear to allow rpms to drop before torque converter lockup occurs.

The Stringer pop eliminator looks like it would work but is basically a time delay relay for $25. A less expensive option seems to be a PAC TR-4 low voltage trigger delay for about $10. The PAC is described as having a 1 second delay and I am not positive that is enough. So, still looking.

A SPST switch, you can delay it as long as you want!
