Okay guys, help me out with wiring

[DaJe]

The molex from the power supply goes into the module, and then the module into the cathodes. I don't think it needs anything special, it's just a regular 4 pin molex. I've also been busying playing a game while doing this whole thread, and don't have everything next to me either.

Thanks.

The way I would wire it up is use that mic socket in the back of the PC case. Pic which two pins you like and make one positive and one negative.
At the subwoofer end, split the postive into two wires and have that go through a switch into the sound modules. The sound modules look like they supply all power to to cathodes, so once they have power the cathodes should work.
The negative lead will also be split in two and go to the modules.

Here's a quick circuit diagram I whipped up:

Think you could elaborate on that a litle more? And give as much details you can for every single part of it. I wantto make sure I get this all right. And by switch, do you mean the switch that's already on it? I'll take pictures of the whole cathode device.

[Bucko]

By switch I mean one you set up. Take a few photos for me though and I'll have a look and elaborate some more you you.

[DaJe]

I was worried you meant that >_>

So I'll probably have to buy more stuff, eh





This is the whole cathode device. I have two of these.

These are the cathode tubes

The tubes plug into here

Then another wire plugs into the other side

And then splits off

One side goes to these molex connectors, one male and one female

And the other part goes to this power switch

This is the sound device, there are two of these, one for each cathode set, so they blink seperately.

It plugs into one of the molex connectors above

It gets power through a 4 pin molex from the power supply

[Bucko]

Thanks for the photos.
I assume you can solder? Because the best way I see to set it up involves some cutting and soldering of wires.

[DaJe]

I have solder with lead in it, but I can wear a mask. Now, keep in mind, I want to be able to plug both sound devices into one power source.

I'm right with Bucko on that... For one, you can get rid of the second molex connector on those wires... Don't need it... Its just there so you can still use that molex connector from the PSU on another device still, after hooking up the cathodes... You can do away with the switches actually, too... Do away with them completely, or put a switch more suitable to mounting on the sub for what you prefer... If I get a chance, I'll take some pictures tomorrow of the wire work I did on my cathodes in my current project... No switches... No second molex connector... Just come on when the PC does... And go off with it...

[DaJe]

I don't want to cut anything until I have a plan down on what to do. Because then if I messed up I'f have to put it back together.

Do you have a picture of the bottom of the sound modules? Since they are transparent, you should be able to see the circuit-tracks so you can tell if it uses more than just the 12v line.
