Since I've got a car cd player in my garage now, is there a way to wire the neon speaker rings with the stereo without much ground noise? It's all hooked up to a battery, sitting on a shelf. I had everything going straight to the battery, with shared connection points, but every time the lights flashed the speakers kicked out. Before you ask, yes, it's one of those damn pre-wired boxes from Walmart, I got it for Christmas last year. But since it won't work with the shared connections, can I hook the positive wire to the remote lead and keep the shared ground, or is there a better way to do it?

To get the lights to flash when the bass hits you can either wire them to the amp outputs with a fuse, or get a sound meter from street glow. I think that answered your question....let me know if I didnt.

u can buy neon tubes at walmart .. like 10 inch for 10 bucks and they have built in bass detection to fade in/out with bass.. kinda cool. wutever u do DO NOT power the noen using your remote wire. i thought this was a good idea cuz i would want the neon on wen my system is on and im showing it off.. but having a neon wired to my remote wire cuased my sub to HUMM.. weirdness..

Don't wanna go expensive with anything, so the sound meter's out...it's a pre-wired box with the transformer on the inside, it's got a flash box on the power/ground wires, so I'll need a constant power supply, so I don't wanna tap into speaker outs...any other ideas?

Until I find a more permanent solution, the neons are hooked to a separate battery charger, which are enough for now, so it's not a rushed thing...but thanks for the help everyone, if I can think of something, I'll let y'all know!
