C-Fizzy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sigh.. I've explained this before plenty of times lol. If you hook your LEDs to your speaker terminals and they light up with the bass, it means you're clipping. LEDs light up when shown DC current, correct? What does an amp do when it clips? Outputs dc current. So what you think looks cool, is actually ruining equipment. Do it the right way, someone sells a little box that takes the rca's and transfers the signal into power for the LEDs. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 thanks C-Fizzy that actually makes sense. I didnt think about it like that. I bet if you could pull up threads that are about this same thing there would be quite a few. Im glad i havent ran any LEDs with my new better equipment. lol 2 DC 12" lvl 4s 1 DC 1.2k XS Power S3400 big 3 Alll KNU wire Pioneer HU cheapo Legacy coaxes (just for now) http://www.stevemead...n-sentra-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot Fizzy, I'll have to look into this. Any ideas on how much it might cost? Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carshateme Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ummm...hate the jack this topic...but I have led that blink to the bass....its only a box that is based on sound. You plug it into yoir cig lighter If I plugged my led lights in my speaker wire....my led bulbs will blow up immediately....I suggest you DO NOT do that New build coming soon.
