I suggest hiring a local electrician to hook the amps up for you.
You have 10K bucks worth of equipment there in jeopardy.
Not everything is protected in the 77SX/DX. If the step-start relay
does not throw, the resistors across it will crispy-critter in several
seconds. Since there is no separate filament transformer; excess
voltage on the input could zap the 8877 heaters. Several other things come to
mind also. Be careful; I love those SX's....not too many left.
