Using Smart Plugs to Turn on Subwoofers


I have a few TP Link Kasa Smart Plug HS103s lying around. I am currently running dual Rel T9x subs. The Rels only have a physical switch no remote. With my aging back, bending down to turn them on and off has been a challenge. I'm thinking about plugging each sub into a smart plug and have Alexa to turn them on and off. Anyone doing this? 

The plugs are rated Input 100-120V-60Hz 15A; Output 15A Maximum load 15A X 120V = 1800W. This should be enough power to supply the T9x. 

The other question is is it safe to turn on and off the subs without using the physical on/off switch.

I'm going to give smart plugs a try. I guess the power consumption is low even if there's no sleep mode.
@rocray Do most subs automatically go into sleep mode when no signal is fed? I read the REL T9x manual. There is no clear indication of that. I prefer keeping them on. 
@rocray The T9x are pretty impressive. Granted they are the only subs I have ever owned. I was pretty happy with just Nova -> Triangle Alphas. A friend told me you got to get dual subs. The sound stage feels so much bigger with them. Everything sounds more dynamic. 

@ mijostyn Thanks. I'll probably just leave them on then. They provide  nice night light for the room.
