    Question for Luke

    Luke, I just was reading online about wiring LEDs into your speaker system (as the speaker B channel)

    According to Ohm's law the output of an amp would be 2V, if the speakers are 8 ohms and are using .5 watts. That's pretty loud.

    1V if the speakers use .125 watts (that's 79 decibels for a speaker with a 88 spl rating).

    And .35V if said speakers use .015 watts (70 decibels)

    Anyways since LEDs are designed to be used with constant voltages... wouldn't this type of activity F*** them up?

    ^ Thats the video, skip ahead to 2:20. He also does it with Christmas lights... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJOhM...layer_embedded

    So I guess what Im really asking is how the hell does this work?! On an instructable a guy used a transistor, which I guess steps up the voltage? But he wired them into the cabinets.

    And just wondering... how do you embed videos on here?!
