Can I hook neons/leds to my subwoofers/amps?
I want to install neon speaker rings (or led) around my subwoofer. I also want these lights to flash to the beat of the bass. Where can i buy lights to attach to my two 12" db drive subwoofers? Also, where could I hook the up to so they respond to the bass, could I hook these up tomy amplifier?

I think it's still possible to do it if you're too young to vote.

After that, it's not doable.

the sound pickups are built into the neons. put them anywhere in the car, adjust sensitivity and you're done

don't connect them to the amp, you'll end up blowing the neon up. but yes, most of those neons have a mic of some sort that picks up the bass notes. you can tap into the power from the amp's power cable and ground it anywhere in the trunk. you can get them online, just do a google search for them.

yes it will but if the volume gets too high and you start pushing more then 12 or 13 volts they will blow so either you watch your volume limit or you get one of this
