I borrowed a neon strip from my friend. I have it hooked up to one of my subs. The only problem I have is that I have to have my radio turned up a good bit for the neon to be bright.

i have some 12 volt leds. so all i have to do it wire them to the speakers? i tried it without the speaker connected and it didnt work but that may be because the speaker wasnt there im not sure.

Yes. I have the neon hot wire plugged in with the sub hot wire, and the neon ground wire plugged into the sub ground wire.

youd be surprised, considering each speaker has a huge difference in sound by drawing out that 2-5 volts you will ahve to turn ur sound up.
