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 blow the LEDs, so YouTube hasn’t been much of a help to me.
I’m just a first year EE student, not a full on EE like most of you guys probably are, so I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me design a circuit to make this work. A threw this together, it is by NO means even remotely correct, just a little visualization of what I’m trying to do here. I think I’m probably going to have to end up doing something with a transistor for the switch, and a capacitor to make the LEDs fade after the bass hits, but I’m not really sure.
Some things to note:
Each diode in that circuit represents an LED strip rated for 12v DC
My amp is 3000 W peak power
There are two subs wired in parallel with a total impedance of 4 Ohms.
Any and all help/suggestions is much appreciated!
Thanks
