LED under dash install?

[bradl79 10+ year member]

ok i have a relay powering 2 amps and i want to install some leds under my dash upfront, so i was wondering will i be able to tap those into the relay and will that be ok and not overpowering,

Blue wire (remote) from head unit to relay

Also from Relay i forget the number but i have it wired to both my amps as Remote turn on (also power a fan) (want to use to power LEDs)

Black wire - Ground one from each amp to Chassis - 1 wire from an amp ground to relay

Red Power from battery to Power splitter - to both amps and a wire going from there to the relay

will i be able to run both amps + a fan + 2 LED strips (powered to remote turn on) from the relay

Leds dont draw a lot of current. You could just put a switch on them and not use the relay.

If you just want the lights to turn on and off with the head unit, wire them to the 12V output of the relay and ground them in a convenient place under the dash. If you want to have the option of turning them off while the radio is on add a SPST switch in line with either the ground wire or the 12V wire.
