i want to know bout this too, the lead comin from the headunit is orange. do u connect this to the positive supply of a light that comes on wiv the headlights?
yeah m8, just try touching the back wen its powered up, feels quite strange hehehe. i shrink wrapped mine and then just cut out sum holes for the plugs. i still cant believe how bright they are, i have one tube under the centre of my dash and it lights up both footwells, looks really good. dont...
if ur gonna get them cold cathode tubes then i would sudgest (how the hell do u spell that word??) getting sum heatshrink tubing and place the PSU inside it as i have now electricuted myself 3 times with it and it really hurts. will also stop it shortin on any metal aswell.
yeah, i ran it off the glove box light in mine. i just took the light out, chopped the wires off, found out which one was positive then connected it to the power supply for the tube.
search for WinISD from yahoo, download it and then input all the T/S parameters that came wiv ur sub into the program and it will work it all out for u.
hav u thought of tryin cold cathode tubes?? cos they are 4.99 for a 12" tube. i brought one for mine the other day and then i dropped it and it smashed into lots of little pieces. and then when i got another one i electricuted me self cos the power supply outputs 180-800volts, didnt half burn.
the idea of the pin is just to help u twist it off.
they do come off as i did it in my m8s clio the otherday and he now has kicker tweeters sitting in the hole as the kicker ones fit perfectly.
wot happens then if he wants to put the factory tweeters back in, if he sells the car and wants to keep his ice. best thing to do is to unscrew the tweeter grills as Ians says and unplug the tweeter, takes about 30 seconds.:)
