  • LED lights can take a car audio or custom vehicle install and build from meh to wham! In the past car audio installers have used neons, cold cathode tubes, and other techniques, but with the wide variety of led strands available now we have some great options! Learn how I add them step by step along with some other how to tricks in this latest update for the jeep build!

    I'm a big fan of these. Thanks so much for making these vids man. I used one of your vids to help make my first ported box for 2 10" mtx 5510's and they really pump. Little by little i'm increasing my range of tools and knowledge on how to use them, I recently got a plunge router(no table) but, in time i hope i get to this point. Keep up the good work!.

  • @darrinfraser
    @darrinfraser 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think LED's can be very complimentary to a build. I added some to mine for some minor accent lighting. Although I have mine on a switch so I don't always have to have it on. Thanks for the great tutorials! Nice work!

    I always use LEDs in my car audio. and sometimes other places. the build looks great the mesh really make it come together.

  • @BadBoyStl
    @BadBoyStl 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    That looks awesome, lots of attention to detail. I couldn't wrap my head around the mesh until i saw it finished, but it looks great! I am a bit of a show off, so I love LED lights in installs. Obviously, it has to make sense visually with the build, and should never take away from the actual audio equipment, but very cool with all that in place!

  • @tuxedolark
    @tuxedolark 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    First, let me say how delighted I am to have found this series. I love the commitment to craft. While I prefer a little subtler style, all these elements can be used at a lower key, and for purely functional (as opposed to decorative) purposes, with a high level of aesthetic appeal.
    On a purely selfish note, I’ll say that I’m working on a Miata build, which means that I would love direction for good sound in a VERY small spaces, and very clean, simple appearance.
    (Oh, and grammar nazi here-since LED stands for “light emitting diode”, “LED lights” is redundant 😜.

      I have LED's installed on mine , along with acrylic panels on my amp racks but no where near the quality of work that you put out , all I have to work with is simple hand tools and a hand held router and jigsaw . did the sub boxes in vinyl to match the cars interior colors . now that I've seem your RGB LED's on yours I wish I had used them instead of just the Blue I used .

    Dude you do fantastic work..the led's look great.!! FYI you know how you pretty much do everything with the router table, imagine what you could make with a CNC router machine. Design the whole thing on the computer and let the program do it's thing. You could create some pretty spectacular designs and shapes.

    @masonicwolfvtf 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know its a 4 year old video but i really like this install. I don't know if anyone has said this but you can increase how much light is diffused into your piece by sanding the edges of the acrylic so the light gets scattered in more directions with up to 600 grit sand paper. You can also do custom logos with custom vinyl sticker and a sand blaster. Blasting it several times will deepen the etch and it will light up better.

    Install looking great! I have used a very similar LED product and had lights fail over time and the adhesive let go. My install didn't allow for taping as you did to provide extra secure connections. I would say, just figure on the adhesive failing and design accordingly. The failuire of actual lights surprised me more. LEDs are supposed to be 20,000 hr lights, but not all LEDs are equal I guess. Thanks for your shows!
