What do you guys suggest I do about the pop this amp produces when being turned on. No relay in it like my JVC, really wasn't a problem with my small Pioneer amp but this guy puts out a lot of power.

You can rig up a relay on a switch with a wall-wart, that turns on the outputs with a timer. If the amp or preamp has an auxillary output, this would be a perfect appication for it. You likely even have enough room in the case to adapt the Yamaha to include this.
Oh yeah- Nice amp!

There are various add on DC protect relay kits available that also include a time delay. You're gonna need a big one!
Not sure where you'd put it inside that chassis. Looks crowded. You'd have to get creative with the mounting, since it's meant to go in a Phase Linear 700B, but I'm guessing this one would work. You can contact the designer to be sure it would work properly, but this one runs off the A/C supply lines. IOW, no additional power supply unlike some. http://home.earthlink.net/~dimlay/id24.html
I was kinda hoping for a in line solution to the speakers. If I don't have to open it I wont this amp kinda scares me. I took my pre amp apart easily and my pioneer to re cap and fix broken switches but this one has some serious circuitry.
Quick question amp is sounding little thin on the bass department. I think it is my pre amp, its a Mitsubishi DA-C20 I had to run a RCA cable from tape out to tape in but I think by doing this it has degraded the sound. Will have to take it apart and reset the switch so that I can remove the patch cable.
You can make one that way. Look up Rod Elliott's electronic project pages. I'm sure he has one in there.

It's incredibly hard (seriously) for me to believe that Yamaha didn't already build into that amp some sort of turn on delay or mute. Mute/Delay functions can be handled by a mechanical relay or by switching transistors. I bet that something just isn't working quite right. Maybe you should have the amp checked out, could be something simple needing adjustment or replacement. I'd certainly insist on checking the amp's idle and bias. Turn on thump, pop might be the reason why the original owner decided to part with the amp.
If you can acquire the service manual for that amp, it will likely tell you what you need to know about turn on delay, or muting.
