Would it be ok just to hook the + and - to the amp remote wire and ground???

Then get your 12v and your ground from amps or battery, your choice. Make sure you have the correct resistors on those LEDs.

Post Number: 1472 Registered: Mar-07	Posted on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - 03:56 GMT you're askin for trouble when using the remote wire if its from the HU lol. But don't listen to me, I've only put 200+ LEDs into vehicles lol. Just use a switch between a power wire of your car and and the LEDs.
