The Blue LED mod. First awhile ok I had changed my stock alarm LED to blue. Now I added two more led's and you can do this to. What I did is I put two led's at the top back of my pocket under my radio. Next I hooked them up to my front speakers using a 470 Ohm resistor on positive lead. Now when I play my music the led's blink to the beat. At night with those two led's my car lights up like a x-mas tree. I plan to add four more one at each speaker so you see it blinking though the door grill.

 

!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Where are the pics?

 

I am doing a video but need somebody to host it.

 

Got a video but where can I host it and it's quicktime format. I used my digital camera to make the Vid.

 

how big is the video? (MB)

 

It is 6.98MB

 

i might be able to host it thru my server but i don't know about quicktime format.

 

arg i wanna see it...

 

you have a writeup?

 

Write-up is easy.

1. buy LED and soilder 470ohm resistor to positive side of LED and soilder wire to resistor.
2. soilder wire to negative side of LED.
3. Attach negative to negative speaker wire and positive to positive speaker wire. Any speaker is fine.
And there you have it the LED's will blink to the beat of the music and souldn't burn out since the resistor is there to limit the power.

Go ahead and give it a try.

I would take a pic but just doesn't show the effect it would be just like taking a pic of two LED's.

 

Thanks man, how's the video coming along? I think I am going to try this.

 

If somebody can host the file people could see it it's a .mov file that can run on real audio and quicktime.

 

i wanna see the vid

 

could you send it to me on AIM? my sn is R5a7B. thanks.

 

WTF.... I'll host it! Jeez, I got 30mb on my MSN website, so I got plenty of room. Hit me up on AIM (nubiannupe66) so we can talk about it...

 

excellent can't wait to see

 

I don't have AIM. I don't know how I can send it though since it's a read only.

 

can you email it to him?

 

It's a bigger file then I am allowed to attach. And I can't turn it into a winzip file cause it's read only file. I will try to figure something out and get it on the org.

 

oh ok. you should get aim, it takes about 2 minutes... www.aim.com

 

PM Me, i'll host the vid. 300gb of sweet bandwidth to spare

 

sheesh,

 

Either me or Mike will host it, so get it in gear, bro!

 

 

How can I convert a .MOV to a .MPEG

 

There are converters out there, but chances are a lot of people already have quicktime installed - so just send over the file (.MOV) and either one of us will host the file

 

I only have a hotmail account and the file is to big.

 

PM me your e-mail address and i'll give you a temporary ftp account to upload the file

 

Sounds interesting.

 

OK go here you can download or or view it but takes awhile to view I would suggest downloading it.

looks great, good song too. nice work.

 

Ok, forgive me for being just a little confused, but where did you mount the LED lights in your car? Where does it blink when you play music, your alarm light?

 

can't download it

 

IM me on AIM at R5a7B and I will send it to you.

 

Its working for me Slow server but better then nothing Ill edit in comments sometime tomorrow after I have time to watch it.

Edit: Yeah did I mention the server is really slow (14kb/s )
Edit 2: Not bad, and what model # alpine is that? 7995? 9813? am I even close

 

It's in the top of the pocket I will take a pic in daylight. It's how into the speakers so when the speaker makes the current the blink.

HitmanSE it's a Alpine CDA-9815.

 

Thanks, I'd love to see a pic in the daylight. Sounds like a cool mod I may have to try...
