I want the red LEDs to light up when the subwoofer is activated and the blue LEDs to light up when the left and right floor speakers are activated.

    Need help with simple 12v fan cooling system

    My xbox has been running for about 1 months now no problem. I ran it just like you would run the 12v fan mod for the rear fans except I used my own fan. My Xbox is not the problem now but I think I am going to give up on using the internal 12v on my receiver and stick with running a dc power...

    Need help with simple 12v fan cooling system

    Need help with simple 12v fan cooling system

    Okay first off thanks a lot for the help. I am obviously not the smartest when it comes to electronics and circuits. My transformers were 2 different volts and both burnt out for the same reason. The first was 18 volts and the second was 12. Sorry for the confusion on that. As for...

    Need help with simple 12v fan cooling system

    Thank you guys. I just noticed that was a really dumb mistake! So in that picture is red positive or is black? And would any of you be able to help me wire it directly into the av receiver if I uploaded a few pictures of the interior?
