How would I go about readng the 'low level lines', and connecting them to my LED's In A Tube.

Its just a little soldering and boom you have a lighting control that will run 3 lights arrays.
Here is the link to the the keyboard controller..

while good advice above, I dont think the OP has a computer. Even though he should.
Anyways, the "comparator" I talked about above is a little IC. The "low level signals" is what goes from the headunit to the amp carries the audio which is a voltage. Amplitude varies with volume, and frequency varies with the music. Then the vref is a reference voltage. If you put a pot in there, you can adjust the level that makes the lights go off by adjusting the wiper.
