leds pulsating to music???
 

so i have just installed a 10''sub to the console between the back two seats and have an led strip all around it. anybody know how to wire this 12v led strip to the beat of the music??

what ive found on google so far is only how to do it with a computer speaker.
there should be a way to wire it to the audio output on the amp, but im afraid with all that power it will burn it... any ideas, im sure you know waht im talking about some speaker enclosures have neons in it already that pulsate.. (same concept)


thanx in advance

pls dont

y, its inside the car, not half as gay as footwell ligths and its not that high power.. i just got it to work.. ill post a pic or smth .. it looks good. matches the red leather with the red speaker and redlight.. just had the stuff laying around..

Although I think that messing around the electronics is intellectually stimulating, and I'm sure it looks cool, but, dude, that is total rice. Rice, rice, and more rice. Did I mention rice? It's rice. Hello rice. Capital "R" i c e.

Rice.

thank you

alright, i know exactly what you mean... and yes i get the rice factor of it, but i have an on/off switch which eliminates the whole riceyness because then i can only turn it on when i wana feel good about my wiring skills... and ppl dont have to wonder how retarded i am,

yes... no...????

:banghead: :banghead:

I'm sure you have to have some sort of adapter... you can't just hook it up to the speaker wire...

sorry I can't help any more than that...

Rice.

i got it to work and here are the pics and video...

sorry if you think its rice dont look at it..

lol nice... so how'd you do it?

its as easy as plugging in the led wires to the positive and negative of the sub, it basically uses the same electricity that creates the sound so as the sub gets power the light does exactly the same with the same voltage..

you're gonna give someone a seizure.

Thats pretty cool. So the sub powers the LED's directly? I'd love to see the how-to you used for this. Gives me some rice-tastic ideas of my own. The hater's will be all over this idea.

I dont think thats a good idea, I used to have a neon back there and even that was distracting at night; I couldnt imagine if it was pulsating!!!

My vote is just no.

Nobody said It'd be used when the car is moving.

I'll probably have a hand brake interlock for my setup.

I just think the pulsating is plain tacky. LEDs themselves are cool, but not blinking to the music. lol

ahaha thats cool, now i know

i posted the video right under the pics so you can see it pulsating to music, but like i said i have an on off switch so usually not on while driving
