also, i think you need the remote wire...not the main power wire...because if they dont have a fuse or anything to regulate the flow...then all that power should blow the LED's...also it doesnt matter what amp you have. and no, that wont give you more power to your speakers.

well i could use the amp for two things, thats wut i was saying. cuz if it gave more power ^ which it doesnt^ then i would use it for them. But Ill just use it to wire up some LED's

well i wanna wire up some LED's but the only amp i have is this...



its a Boss Chaos C150 200w 2ch amp.. what can i do with it? can i power it to my rear speakers? to get some more bass out of em?
dude, you dont need an amp to wire LEDs lol just run a 12v into your interior fusebox and ground the black wire to your chassis and you're set. LEDs barely draw any current, i've left my underbody and trunk neons on all night and my car started the next morning.

You don't need an amp to power leds...You simply have to find or make a power source from the battery and then find a ground. Power and ground the leds and voila: light.

hey i just wired up some flexstrips from oz this week. i got my 1st and 2nd orders from them on monday and tuesday. anyway i tucked them under my dash and they look great at night. today i wired another flexstrip into my dome light. have yet to see it at night. one thing bad with glow is its useless until dark. i'll post some pics too, maybe tomorrow.
