I feel like this video is more about the tools and parts you need than the how to. Good but I had to skip through to get to the parts the video was titled. A little inconvenient but ok.
so i am also wiring the kmlc to my boat. however if i dont have a battery switch what do u suggest i connect the kmlc control to? thank you in advance. awesome video very helpful
Hey Larry - this video series was awesome. I'm working on installing these same speakers in our boat, and using the KMLC controller for the LED portion. I used a wire that Crutchfield makes that has both speaker wire, and RGB in it, and brought those both to an amp which is super simple. But can you show how you wired the KMLC to the battery? The connector that came with mine is the super small gauge wire, so I'm trying to figure out how to safely and securely connect it to the batter terminals. Thanks!
DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER DIRECTLY TO THE BATTERY. if you do not provide a switch it will be constantly on and drain your battery. also, be sure and put an inline fuse between the switch and the power/battery. any 5-20 amp switch will do since the LED's do not use much amperage .
@@txtamer thanks for the quick reply. All the KmLC diagrams show the led controller connecting directly to the battery - with an in-line fuse as you noted on the hot line. What did you wire it to in order to get power?
Um where do I wire thes rgb lights to just a positive running light? Or pos terminal … … guessing I have to buy the remote to get the lights to function
from what i read you can run one color with just the 12v hooked to that wire or combination of wires for one color. to get the color changing you need the remote, it comes with a deal to wire in all the wires. but if you just want blue for example i think you just hook the blue wire to a switch and run it with the black wire. The black is positive on the kicker wires, the red green and blue go to each light. you could also hook up the red and green together then to the switch with the black for a mix color of red and green, but again it wouldn't change colors, it would be just that color.

@@Sch1990 16 gage speaker wire from Amazon. Make sure it is 100% copper. Aluminum clad copper will literally disintegrate within months on a utv. Gs power is the brand.
I guess if you wanted to watch a video about his wiz bang tools, it's fine, but about worthless if you thought you were going to see much in the way of installing.
So wanted to jab back at your snide comments. I don’t monetize my account. I try and help guys do things they are Leary of doing. Sorry you saw no value in the videos. Make your own and wait for people to make snide comments on then soon.
