    Does anyone know of a 12volt ACC source in the rear of the zed?? I cant be stuffed running a wire from the back of the stereo to the rear of the car....

    Ok, well since my rice plan must be revealed, here it is:

    I have bought a new shiny speaker grill for my subwoofer in the boot.. now the grill comes fitted with blue LEDs that light up when the car is on, so I can join the ranks of countless other rice wankers out there just like me..:)

    now the instructions say to join the wires to a 12volt ACC source.... I was thinking of joining the wires to the rear rego lights, but that would mean the LEDs would only be on when the lights are on....

    need a source of power that is always on when the car is on...

    Cheers

    As Andrew aka Minivan said +

    The only 12v sources in boot area are low amperage and therefore unsuitable for powering Amps/subs etc.

    I thought it was to be for powering a set of LED's, not Amps or Woofers.
    How about Fuel Pump wiring harness?

    no no, its not for powering amps or subs....

    its to power 6 little blue LEDs.... any ideas K-zed?

    yeah was thinking about that.....

    but I'm not quite sure which wires to tap into.... obviously I need a positive and a negative....

    Run a wire from ACC blue wire behind centre console...

    ... down tunnel/under carpet. Will take only an hour or 2.
