12v trigger help needed with Pass X1 preamp

trying to hook up a trigger from my pass x1 too a levinson 432 amp. levinson has a 1/8th mini jack while the pass x1 has what appears to be speaker type pos and neg posts.

went to radio shack and grabbed a mono mini jack hoping to hack off one end and attach to the x1 posts. when i cut the end jack off, there is wire inside a clear plastic sheild along with some wires outside of the sheild (very few wires btw). can't tell which is positive/negative so i tried it both ways. neither worked.

any advise/direction would be greatly appreciated.

you give me *way* too much credit Al. knowing how to use ones equipment is always a good starting point. will do that next time. thought it was an "auto trigger" that powered up when the X1's volume was turned on from zero/standby.

just tried it and all is well. i can turn on the 432 via the X1. glad i didn't screw anything up(that i know of thus far?). no telling what i would have tried next?.

gonna put on a strange/conic hat and go sit in the corner now ;->.

thanks again.

cheers
