The way the relay works is it uses low voltage (3v-32v in are case),and turns on and off higher voltage (120v in are case).It needs to be wired up + from the wall to pin 1 on the relay, neutral from the wall to neutral on the outlet in the box, + from the outlet in the box to pin 2, + form stereo to pin 3, and - from stereo to pin 4. Take a look at the diagram and the picture of the relay to visualize it.Then glue in the relay to the box.

Attach the Wires.

Drill a hole for the speaker wires, and the tie a knot so there don't come out. Put your 120volt power wires through the adapter, than soider plugs on the ends of the wires that need to plug into the relay (not the wires that need to screw onto the power outlet.Then plug in the wires to the relay.

Outlet
