Thanks! Yeah I just got back from radio shack, unfortunately they didn't have everything so I'm going to have to order the rest online. But once I get it done ill definitely post a video/pics of the build and it in action

Ok, so I've revised the circuit, let me know what you guys think

So putting an RC in parallel with the LEDs will act as a low pass filter and create a fading effect?

I was planning on having the cap there to create an effect where after the bass hits the lights dim out instead if just turning off. Would that be the correct place in the circuit to put the cap?

Ok thanks a lot! You've helped me out a ton so far. So no resistor between the amp and mosfet. Here's the part I'm going to need some help for if you don't mind. What kind of mosfet should I get and where can I get it at? I found this website http://www.westfloridacomponents.com/MosFETS.html but...

I'm currently on summer break, but I just finished my first year at Kansas State University. So far, I've only had one EE class, so my knowledge isn't too extensive. The other thing I'm wondering, so the thing switching the transistor is going to be the speaker outputs on my amp. Is there a...

Thanks for the response! So something more like this?

So basically, I have 4 LED strips (each rated for 12v) that I’d like to make pulse to the bass of the music, such as in this video . There are a lot of misinformed people on YouTube who just hook up their LEDs directly in parallel with the subwoofers, which doesn’t work well at all and will...
