[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8046109, member: 576029"] you will need a relay, a switch to switch between two states - constant and bass powered. for bass strobing output you can simply use the sub amp output as your LED driver. there is just a few things you need to do first. you want another resistor in series with the LED strips to provide additional voltage drop and set up the maximum current the LED's will see based on the maximum voltage the array will see. you want a zener diode and resistor combination to limit the voltage across the LED's. this also allows the strobing effect to work at all volume levels (otherwise it would just light up when it was loud). i've done this before at it works great. hopefully that is enough direction. if you need a wiring diagram, you'll have to be patient and also tell me what the maximum voltage out of your amp (or gimme a link to the owners manual).
