What kind of wires do i use to light the illuminite dual speakers?

Question

I just bought the illuminite dual audio speakers and i dont know what wiring i need to get the lights on the speakers to work. It takes a 12v source to power. And how do i wire it to the fuse box?

Answer 1

speaker wire which should run about 14 guage. Positive and negative hook up to the source of the connection to the amplifier if you have one. Ground and turn on lead I believe and it will stay on. Not sure how to wire it to a fuse box.

Answer 2

you can use any kind of wire as small as 18 gauge as the leds dont use much power at all.  you want to ground the black wire to the frame or other ground wire and you want to switch the red wire so the lights dont stay on.  best way would be to find power source that is Ignition controlled so the lights go on with the car and off with the car.  There should be one behind the radio, usually red or yellow wire. if not, find any hot wire and run it to a switch and run the wire from the illuminite to the switch., hope that helps!

Answer 3

i just wired the lights to the speaker wire coming from my headunit and it beats to the music. I no it says not to do this but it is safe. I have had it this way for a year now and no problems. good luck
