Anyone successfully and safely using a set up with a led strip and a sub?

Why do you have pioneers? You could do much better

RNTurner

All I could afford at the time... They hit harder than any other subs at my school so hell I like them

pioneers arent that bad of subs if you set the system up correctly. as for the LEDs i couldnt tell you

Mlcantin

No but bass quality isn't that great. I had 2 orion hcaa 15s

The LEDs are hooked to my amp. I only have one strip on there now though. They blinded me at night haha. And I'm happy with the pioneers. My buddy has 2 12" kicker comps and mine sound better and hit harder. Even he agrees

RNTurner

The pioneers (1300 watts each) are hooked to an older Kenwood amp (2500 watts) and are in a vented Kicker box so that kinda makes em sound better

Yep how did you run the wiring?

RNTurner

Hooked the hot wire from the lights to the power wire on the amp and put the ground wire on the ground wire on the amp

Not to insult you but i heard that was a bad idea because the voltage leaving the amp is greater than what the L.E.D's can handle so they will be brihgt for a while and then dim down. But hey if it works i'll try it when i get home

RNTurner

I haven't noticed any dimming yet.. Well only when the subs hit then they will dim a little then go back to normal lol

So you hooked them up to the amp and not the sub?

RNTurner

Correct

So do they light up when the sub hits or do they stay on? im confused lol
