[QUOTE="jacko, post: 1555442, member: 559993"] Pretty sure he meant to just wire it in with the speaker leads.... And no, I don't think that that's a good idea. #1 that may or may not detract from the overall SQ, not sure. But your amplifier is just that, an amplifier. It doesn't simply put out 12 volts, it puts out however loud the music is. (don't know that exact equation, but ex: 150watts may equal a 19volt output to the speakers, wheras 300watts may equal a 40volt output), and a 12 volt light bulb cannot handle 40 volts. Understand? (side note: this is why house amps don't need to be so large, the input is already 120 volts). Try putting the "beat sensor"(whathaveyou) in padding or something so it isn't so sensitive, or something similair. [/QUOTE]
