Jessica Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Why the hell would make any difference putting resistors on the speaker terminals?! do NOT hook anything other that speakers to your speaker terminals.

zxsonnyxz Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Am i stupid or is hooking anything other than your subs to your amps speaker terminals going to change what ohm's the amp see's and thus possibly frying the amp? From what i gather you just need a module that has a microphone that tells the lights when to light up. Correct me if i am wrong. No the amp won't have problems as LEDs draw so little current, but as they are made for 12-14V and not the voltages you get out of your amp they'll blow. And you're correct on the other stuff.

yankees14011 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 so how do i get them to not blow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Stop ghetto rigging things Thank you Am i stupid or is hooking anything other than your subs to your amps speaker terminals going to change what ohm's the amp see's and thus possibly frying the amp?

The voltage is irrelevant, its the resistance that matters. Ahh hell forget it. i'm not posting in this thread anymore. listen to zxsonyyz and screw your amp up if you want to.

yankees14011 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 ok but if i get 410 ohm resistor and solder in front of each strip i cut will it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that it was up to 300 of them, depending of how they're wired they might actually be a notisable load. About the voltage, It was consernig why the LEDs started to smoke (or blew completely?). I still think it would be hard to kill the amp before the LEDs themselves. But to sum up for yankee: don't put them on your amp! Regardless of the amp being "capable".

pimpnFosgates Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 when you solder the resistor make sure its on postive post on led. its the longer post. and if you run it to your amp it pushes out different amounbts of power. it is stupid to do it this way. you will fry all your shit. if you dont want to keep your stuff then listen to what the people here are saying. and they smoke when they see too much power. you burn em up. you get the led ------| \ ---|___/ long pole and short pole. solder resistor to long pole. then run to a CONTROL MODULE aka BOX. run to your amp bye bye stuff. thats it, thats all. end o story. know how i learned that. cuz i did it. and i used 22 leds in a strip. byebye mids n highs amp. so be smart and listen to what we the people of smd that have done this and learned from it tell you. so you dont fry your stuff n waste more money on leds.n test on 9volt battery first. itll tell you if your doing it wrong because itll burn up as soon as you connect it or itll light up.
