Audiobaun... neon light

I reaently got and Audiobaun box with 2 12" inside of it with a neon installed in my car and in order for the neon to work i need to hook it up to a 12 Volt section of my car. Where is the best place to hook up the wires so the neon light would work. Thanks for the help

why not tap into the power cable that feeds your amp?

nah, that neon won't even draw an amp i would bet. you'd be fine. as for connecting it, it's simple; jsut attatch the neon's power wire to the power wire going into your amp.

Not the power wire from the battery, then the light would be on all the time. Hook it to the remote wire off the h/u instead.

the way the neon works in the box is that it lights up every time that the bass in the song hits. so when the song is not playing or the car is off the neon won't light up. so couldn't i just hook it up the wires that go from the box to the amp?
