Electro luminescent wire requires an inverter also known as a driver in order to illuminate the el wire to its full brightness levels. Although the el wire can be attached directly to an ac power source, it will only obtain a very low level of brightness without the aid of an inverter. Please visit our power inverter section for a look at our inverters as we offer a variety of power sources to drive lengths of neon wire up to 600 ft at various brightness levels.

I am running it through a groove I have in my amprack where my 4150-XXK sits...I think it's going to look good!

I think it will look alright, if done well. It is definitely borderline rice though....

The inverters make a tiny high-pitched sound, btw.

Go for the EL-Tape if it's going to be visible at all; EL-Wire doesn't light uniformly, and is kinka, .. kinked lookin'.

Not all of them.

I had some el-wire on the outer edge of the box I use to have in my trunk (dual sealed 10 box with a pair of eXcelons in it) and the inverter never whined that I noticed. It was an AutoZone closeout special....got it out of $5 bin just to try and see what it looked like. The inverter for that one, though, came already with it inline behind the lighter plug (which I promptly cut off) Would that make any difference? I don't see, really, how it could...thought I'd ask anyway.
