carshateme Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 This? http://www.streetglow.com/Music-Interface-ANMI2 Wow youd pay $40 for that. Go to amazon n you can get 4 led strips n a box just like that for $32......$40......such a.waste of money New build coming soon.

bobobass Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 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. actualy led's can be lit with ac current. Everytime you play any sine wave, the led would light up Every time you have a positive voltage. It in no way means you are sending a clipped signal 2000 Subaru outback 2.5l Head Unit: Pioneer deh 4300ub front stage: tbd subwoofer: Stock Fi Q 18" amp: Audio que 1200d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and most led's will suffer from reverse breakdown and won't last long. The best and cheapest way to lite LEDs with you amplifier output would be to make a full wave rectifier before the led's that way you would get a constant varying dc current without sending the opposie polarity voltage to the led's 2000 Subaru outback 2.5l Head Unit: Pioneer deh 4300ub front stage: tbd subwoofer: Stock Fi Q 18" amp: Audio que 1200d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 my question, then is why is my amp always clipping if i have my gain all the way down n volume nowhere near its clipping volume?i got 1000 leds from china for 3 bucks n if it will only work with clipped power then my shits broke guys.all of it.damn them mtx amps n alpine decks.trying to ruin my stuff regardless of the heavy sarcasm. your method of install leds on teh back of the speakers is ghetto as hell. buy some christmas lights if you want it to blink .

EXACTLY! Winn, that is the box I am talking about and though people will continue to wire the ghetto way atleast now you all know there is a module that exists to this.

Actually, no, that is not clipping. The led is flashing, just like the new Christmas leds that you plug into the wall. They flash faster than your eyes can see. Also, for music reactive lighting http://www.xoxide.com/sounaccat.html Made for computer cases, but I've used them in my truck, computer, everywhere I have a 12 volt source. They work at least up to 15 volts because that's what I charge at. Sigh.. I've explained this before plenty of times lol.

ktraughb Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUSIC-FLASH-INTERFACE-SOUND-CONTROLLER-LED-CATHODE-/120843529023?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1c22d5eb3f use these. i use them all the time. work like a champ. just make sure to pay attention to how much load you apply to the interface, and of course set sensitivity correctly. this is the best option.
