if u need some power try stealing some from your fuse panel...u have to take apart the lower part oif the dash and the fuse panel comes out fairly easily...cut a wire and splice the one that needs power into it, u can hook up a switch there 2...hope that helps...

dont just go around messing with the Fuse box, if you dont know what you are doing, cutting factory wire is ghetto

if you need a power source, go get an amp wiring kit or something and get wiring directly from the battery and wire it down the car to where ever you need it.

also you dont cut factory wiring, if you need to tap a line use a wire tap, it pinch's into the wire and wraps it self around it, and you use another wire to plug into it. walmart carrys junk like that look around automotive stores before you start cutting and splicing

the amps are on a remote turn on and if you didnt use an adaptor(and if he asking how to hook up neons then I doubt he did) then there wont be power to the ampd unless you run the remote wire to the power for the stereo and then it may work but for all that trouble just run it off the cig lighter circuit tap in behind the cig lighter, thats got enough power and if you dont use it you might as well/

and you may be the youngest maxima owner but you sure make yourself look like the stupidest sometimes by asking these questions that can be searched if you try meaning try a few combinations.

jsut wondering where you're mounting your neons and how you want them functioning. I was thinking about wiring a neon in my trunk so when I open the trunk, the neon will come on.

just wire it up to the light in the trunk that only comes on when you open the trunk, if you want it to work that way.
