I have a 4000 watt power acoustik amp, hooked up to 2 12" 1200 watt audio pipes. And i have two capacitors that are also hooked up to my amp. I hooked up 6 neon tubes to my amp. then it started to sound bad and it smelled. So i unhooked them and my subs now sounds bad. A friend told me your not suppose to hook them up to my amp. But i want them to pulsate. if i hook them up to the battery will they pulsate still? is my amp fried? What should i do please help>>>

All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

couldnt you run LED's off of an amp?

just hook up the positive and negative, and the lights flash with the bass?

i did it with an old boss amp back in the day, was kinda cool :peepwall:

yeah you can do led strips on an amp but neon's require too much power. Ive heard worse someone wanted to hook up hids to flash with the bass. as for the led i wouldn't run more than 2 strips. there are some kits you can buy that come with a box to sinc the leds to the music

The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart

You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

I'll be nice and try to help you.

You DO NOT hook neons up to your amp. You need to get neons with "pulsate" or "music" option (i forget the exact name for it) but they sell neons you hook up to a + and - power source (fused) and there is a switch on the side of the tube that goes from constant to pulsate and a dial to adjust its sensitivity.

Or you can do this - http://www.streetglow.com/Music-Interface-ANMI2?sc=2&category=10

Use that module to connect and adjust the neons. Hope this helps.

There are some LED strips (yes LED, NEON is old technology imo), that have a control box with a microphone on it that picks up the beat of the music. It isn't perfect but it'll look good if done right.

IDK about hooking it up to the amp though.

I like the oldschool one..
