How to put neon's in my bandpass box?

Question

i have a kenwood KFC-W3011 12" sub in a bandpass box. i want to add a little style to the box by putting some blue neon's or led's into the inside of the box. now i looked at the store and all of the neon's hooked up to a cig. lighter. so here is the problem.....I DON'T WANT A WIRE FROM MY TRUNK TO MY DASH! now a friend had a cheep pair of duals in a box that have neons that just lit up when the stereo turn's on, the only wires going to this box are the speaker wires. now is there a way for me to do this in my sub box. I read that i could cut the cig plug off of the neon wire, and hook the positive up to my amps remote turn on, and ground the negative, and i will get the results i am looking for is this true? HELP!

Answer 1

use the power wire for your amp and make sure they are on for the music sensitive setting so they go off when your car does.

Answer 4

if you run the power from your speaker wire it will give it a pulsating look  

Answer 5

It's true. You can do this.

But, you run the risk of s******g up the head unit. The remote line is only made to give a power on signal to the amp. It's not made to power anything.

To do it right follow these instructions. http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page5.as...
