[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 616069, member: 556589"] you gotta be careful which LED's you get if you hoook them straight to the amplifier power. The amplifier power also varies as it need more power at times. so that idea (to hook it to the amplifier) is out. If yo want to hook them into the power from your car, you should run a distrobution block (one line to the amps and one to the LED's) and get a switch for the LED leg so you can switch them off. You also need to get a voltage transformer if you don't get 12v LED's. If you use anything lower than 12, the tiny little filiments will pop right away and then you'll have wasted .79-5.99. All in all, its a lot more complicated of a process than you think. Better if you bought a premade kit with instructions than to try it by yourself. [/QUOTE]
