    Default Okay guys, help me out with wiring

    I need to somehow give power to the lights inside my subwoofer. The easiest way to do this would probably be to tap into the power that the speaker uses.


    These two things need power




    I have two male/female molex conectors






    I'm not sure what this wire is for




    But it connects like this




    This is the wire for the subwoofer speaker




    It gets power by plugging into the right speaker







    Help me out guys. Help me come up with a way to wire this all together.

    Do you have a picture of the sub?
    There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.

    Lots of pictures here. Iit's the one I've been working on.





    By the way, the things that need power say "12v DC" on them.

    The wire you aren't sure what it does is 12V. It looks like that was a molex that came with a fan. Male and female to plug in between a hard drive or some other device and give a 12v feed from the molex.

    Is that sub plug the only thing the sub has? It looks like the adiuo jack for it.

    That's the only thing it has. It gets power and audio data from that one jack.

    What else is in the subwoofer? Just the speaker? If so it should be an easy wiring job.

    Just the speaker, and the lights of course.

    In the back of that speaker the sub plugs into, is that a 12v input?

    It looks like it will say on the back of the speaker. I just can't see it because the plug is in the way.
