Yes.
Your neons should have 2 wires comiing off of them, a positive and a ground. Run the positive into the distribution block for power and then the ground to a ground point. The bad thing with this is that the neons will constantly be on, not just when the amps are on. You can install a switch inline with the power to control them and I would also install some sort of an inline fuse. |

I'm running a 250 w amp, to two 10 inch subs in a ported bandpass box. The box has a light inside of it and i am having trouble hooking it up without blowing the fuse in my amp. I have uped the fuse to a 30 amp from a 25 amp but it still blows. And i cant hook it up to just my other speakers without makeing my dash and interior dimming. how can i hook this light up? |

NO!!! Shane, don't up your fuse to 30 amps if its blowing at 25. There is a REASON they used a 25 amp fuse. I somehow doubt that you know more than the designer, and he chose 25 amp fuse for a reason. Therefore, you need to figure out what is wired improperly. |
