[QUOTE="its_a_sleeper, post: 4564440, member: 592143"] you do not want to hook them up to your remote wire.... you will starve not only the head unit but the amp as well if you have one hooked into the remote lead. if you really want to hook them into your player, hook them directly to the accessory power wire. Personally i have had neon setups with 9 neons hooked into my accessory power wire on the back of my player and never had a problem. you may have a wire on one or two of the neons backward, or a bad connection in the neon block itself. neons do not draw much at all but if they are wired wrong they will malfunction and screw stuff up. but like someone said the cigarette lighter is good. i have also hooked into my lights right by the gear shifter. this way the neons are only on when your head lights are on, but if you have a toggle switch in place that really does not apply to your situation. good luck [/QUOTE]
