what do ya think its pretty cool. Those speakers had been having to run the wire strait through the middle of the seats. So i devised a way to add a 12volt DC plug. It only costed a total of $10.57 at autozone for the parts. i ran the wires through the side plastic of the car and under the plastic trim on the floor to the dash then just opened up the dash and ran it though so i could tap into the power wires. i also put an inline fuse(10amp) at the socket for extra protection, ya know just in case. Works perfectly.

It appears to be a clean install on the plug, but why not just discretely wire the neon rather than a cigarette plug, Y-adapter, and all the plugs for the neons? Seems cleaner to me, unless it's crucial to be removing and reinstalling your subs frequently to the point where you need them on a quick plug like that. Basically, good job, but why?

i donno but in florida you can't have things that color on when your driving. So i had to be able to turn them off. The neon blinks with the bass sounds. They think people will confuse it with amulances and stuff. Its gay.

oh yeah and another reason is that those plug adapter on the neon thing have their own fuses so they break if too much energy is coming in or too little.

This isn't appearance and detailing related. Kinda body and interior related, so I'll move it there.
