AlpineGuy87 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have LED kit that I'm installing in my trunk. Is there a safe/reliable way to wire off the amp connections? Such as the remote wire and ground? If there are options for me, please list, otherwise if this isn't a good idea I'll just run a wire from battery to the trunk (want to avoid this) 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are options for me, please list, otherwise if this isn't a good idea I'll just run a wire from battery to the trunk (want to avoid this) think you'd be better off running a relay so that your not pulling too much from your deck.....then you can run all your remote turn ons and l.e.d.s off one power source 06 2500hd, 6.0L, 4l80e, 4wd, (muah work truck) 7" BDS HC lift kit (5) 37x13.5R18 Toyo Open Country M/Ts (5) 18x10 Moto Metal MO962 tablet in lieu of deck blue tooth interconnect to soundstream eq (for volume control and bass control) 4 Alpine type r 10's 6 cubes net, 80sqin's port, tuned to 33hz 2 brutus brx5000.5's 2 pairs 3" polk audio for a pillars 4 pairs polk audio 6.5 comps 1 pair 8" polk audio for mids 2 xspower d3400 batteries.....learning alot from meade and his circle of some of the baddest installers ive seen- thanks guys, for not being so cocky and posting the way it should be done!P.S.

sphinxbccp Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 EDIT: oh hes good lol^^^ Best bet is if you want them to turn on when your amp comes on is to use a relay. Wire it up so your remote line is the 12v signal going into the relay, by doing this it wont put anymore draw on your remote line. Click! Thats the one youd use, then just ground the leds out, and make sure the leds are rated for 12 volts Build log: Click Feedback: http://www.stevemead...xbccp-feedback/ 03 Chevy Blazer - IPad Air 2 - ALPINE Head Unit - 4 DC XL 18s - 2 DC 3.5k - ALPINE TYPE R 5.25 COMP - 3 ALPINE TYPE R 6.5 COMPs - DC 175.4 - DC HO Alt - D3400 - 4 XP3000s - KNU 0ga - 60 SqFt Damp Pro Lots more...

AlpineGuy87 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Very nice! Excellent idea. However now I'm thinking I may want to turn on the LEDs even if the amp is off. For car shows and nightly gatherings, be able to turn on and shine without anything else on or running. Now that I have a way to do either one, I must decide, Thanks for your replies!! 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
