IllumiNite subwoofer wiring, how to Options

[pengsm]

sup guys, look i have a 10" Dual subwoofer i already got it hook up, but inside the box there's a, they call it, IllumiNite lighting that can be wire to a 12v source. i read the instructions they said donnot hook it up directly to battery as that will drain your battery so....

the back of the sub already have a "ON" and "OFF" switch for the IllumiNite

how do you hook it up?
and what kind of wire do you use?

hEElp!!

pretty simple, run it to your amp where the 12v and the negative is. this way you pick up the remote turn on and off that way no drainage. This is how some built in lights run, through the power it gets from the amp.

Isn't the 12V at the amp always hot, and the remote wire switches an internal relay?

I'd probably wire up an external relay using the remote wire to turn it on, and the amp's power wire's for power.

pengsm: Keep an eye on your head unit and make sure it's not getting too hot, that remote line probably isn't fused, at least not externally accessible. You wouldn't want to kill your remote line, that would suck.
