[QUOTE="Supergumby5000, post: 5045954, member: 563237"] Well, i decided to test these LED strips out before putting them in my sub box, and im glad i did. They are LEDs with an input and output (pos in, neg in, and pos out, neg out) So, i wired the input side up to a battery and let it run for about a minute. Well, lets just say after about 30 seconds, one of the LED's burnt out, so i reached down to grab the strip, and it was hot, like **** hot. Enough to burn somebody hot. I take a look at the wire soldered to it, and it was starting to brown, like that was getting too hot too. any ideas? Here are pictures of the LED strips i have [IMG]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s42/Supergumby5000/P9280828.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s42/Supergumby5000/P9280831.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
