I have a stick of neon that I would like to hook up by my sub box and I was wondering if it would be wise to put it with the remote turn on wire to power the neon?
Also, to ground an amp could I take the ground wire from the amp directly to the ground terminal for the battery? I'm thinking not...but is it wise to do that?
i wired up a neon in my trunk to my amp i grounded the neon where i grounded the amp and ran the power off the remote wire and have had no problems, the neon doesnt even dim
Jonez... where is it you said that you grounded your amp? like Koz said, it needs to be grounded very close to your amp, like if you pull back the carpeting on the sides of your trunk, there are bolts and metal, that's where i grounded mine. (always remove any paint or dirt first)
I'm kinda supprised the amp has even worked, the amp i'm useing will go into protect mode if it doesn't have a sufficent ground. but connecting to a battery ground is no good. you need a large piece of body metal close to the amp.
yea its good fun grounding an amp, my amp kit only have me a 2 ft ground wire, i had to go out and buy 3 ft of 4Ga cable, that just pissed me off, i was 3in too short with the first ground wire...damn money hungry companies!
