Ji553r Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 with a 1500 yeah you would prolly blow them. my rise is to 4 ohms and my 1500 is putting out 18 amps even then. a single led uses a small milliamp to operate im pretty sure Quote I don't fuck around.

zachfowler222 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 just by led strips from somewhere and hardwire them to like the back battery or run a wire to your cig light and splice the wires and connect it that way and you would hav to get the ones with the musical box on it dont forget about that too Quote I SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY...

Alex K Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 i don't see them staying on or working too long from spl, and from the vibration of the box Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track.

chapo123 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 well what if they dont turn on with the bass and just stay on constantly? no dimming. would that make it possible and cheaper? so just run the pos and neg to my rear battery and the remote to my amp remote? if they even come with one?

RMac18 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Typical Led doesn't have a remote. But hooking the positive to a 12volt switched wire is recommended, otherwise the LED's stay on all the time. if you have a relay, run the positive from that. I dunno if its recommended or not but the 2 that are on my sub are wired to the Remote and the ground on my sub amp. I haven't had any problems with the front one, but have blown 2 on the back of the magnet cover on the inside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassl0va Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Not once have I seen anyone mention a resistor, if you're running a LED off 12v, you will definitely want a resistor otherwise it could eventually fry. Also, I wouldn't parallel it with a sub. That's asking for something bad to happen.
