Reply With Quotei guess you could use another speaker wire cup to get power to the tubes. or just run wire into the box through a hole then silicone the hole up
I am building a sealed sub box, with two 12 inch neon tubes on the inside. What is the best way to power these neon tubes? Thanks for any suggestions.

Where would I connect the power wires from the neon to?
the battery. better yet, add a relay that is switched on/off by the acc lead.

There is no way to hook it up to speakers or the amp? I really do not want to mess with the ignition wires...
You could do it if you have a relay. Wire the relay in-line with the remote-turn on lead from the radio, and power it off the battery line going into the amplifier.
The relay would then be able to connect to the amp's remote-turn on and power the neons, without damaging whatever is providing the turn-on voltage.
err...isn't that what i just said?

no truly safe way, you could hook it up to your cigarette lighter if you wanted, but its not the safest wayOriginally Posted by black06stang
and get LED's they run off 12v anyway, then you wont need an inverter/transformer box (whatever they run on)
No, you said acc lead, not remote turn-on wireisn't that what i just said?
