1. How would i solder 15 leds on one amp.
2. I want to put in 2 5mm UV and 2 5mm Red leds. Can i just solder them same as 0603 leds?
3. Do i solder 3,4 left pins with resistors to just one speaker ?

THANK YOU

1. You take one wire leading to the positive, then you take 15 wires, solder those wires to the one wire, and then solder all your positives to the positives of the leds. Then you do the same for the negatives.
2. You mean method? Well I think you just solder the wire onto the lead....
3. Yeah, one to positive one to negative... If you're asking about the two wires with resistors. I have no clue what pins 3 and 4 are for, but you said with resistors, so yeah.

That is a pretty messy way to do it NO DISRESPECT towards BUSTINTHEJUSTIN but ya i use to do it like that to but now i do it different
i will take a pic of my recent project to show u how i do it let me just finish wiring up the leds and wat not

Yeah no problem... I'm still a noob at modding but I've been reading, so I know basics. I'd love to know how you do it though!

compared to you im a uber noob

what i meant is 2 and 3 pins not 3 and 4 lol . And one guy said i would need 10 ohm resistor for the UV and red.... are they 10 ohm or 10k or what? and is it needed

Jumbo · « **Reply #5 on:** December 16, 2008, 07:52:07 PM »

10 ohm, 10k is 10,000 ohm...

armis · « **Reply #6 on:** December 16, 2008, 07:55:35 PM »

but is it rly needed?? i want it to be VERY bright...
thanks for UBER fast reply jumbo..ur tha man

Ya it is needed to keep the long life of the LED

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #8 on:** December 16, 2008, 08:03:56 PM »

but if ur using 5mm i don't think he does check the voltage rating on the box if it is close to 3.8 u should be fine other then that go wit the 10ohm

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #9 on:** December 16, 2008, 08:16:00 PM »

yes i kno the pics r crappy but ya that is the best i could do quick i will redo them tomorrow when i finish the whole thing i still have to wire the 3 leds on the bottom

but this is wat i do
take the first led wire it up strip the wires from it then position it get my second led wire it position it then strip some of the insulation towards the top wrap led1's wire onto that and then solder and do that to all my leds until i get 2 wires my positive and negative that go to my lm386 chip

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #10 on:** December 16, 2008, 08:30:09 PM »

Could you please write up a more detailed explanation? Maybe the pics you upload tomorrow will be better. Anyway, thanks. I sort of understand it...

armis · « **Reply #11 on:** December 17, 2008, 03:08:29 AM »

will all the wires fit in psp....if the insulation of the wire touches the mobo or other boards nothing happens right...just the open metal cant be touching right.

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #12 on:** December 17, 2008, 09:00:35 AM »

No ur wires have to be insulated wit hot glue or something
and in my pics u can kind of see how 2 wires go to one then that 1 goes to another then another and so on

armis · « **Reply #13 on:** December 17, 2008, 11:56:32 AM »

on my leds i got long wires...should i just branch them off somewhere close to the amp or no?

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #14 on:** December 17, 2008, 03:12:28 PM »

okay everything is going good so far but ya there is that pic for u to lol sorry for kind of spamming but i will get u a diagram cuz u really can't tell wat i am talking bout in that pic and i am going to have to order a new backplate cuz mine is broke

EDIT
i made the diagram
were it is gray i stipped the wire on the first led i stripped the tips of the wire on the second i stripped the middle then connected them positive to positive and negative to negative and then soldered

armis · « **Reply #15 on:** December 17, 2008, 04:16:19 PM »

LOOKING SEXY! lol i just noticed that those 2 UV leds and Red that i got are different...one is brighter then the other ....
so i just need to strip of insulation and then solder other leds where insulation is off right? so its like a tree branch?

Ok if i want 5mm leds ...where do i solder the resistors on?

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #16 on:** December 17, 2008, 04:45:33 PM »

ya looks good and idk check the box if it says 3.6-3.8w u won't need any other then that get 10ohm they sell them at radioshack

armis · « **Reply #17 on:** December 17, 2008, 05:29:04 PM »

UV ones http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3107633
3.8 max......so is it needed? the resistor
and for red ones 2.4v is max. so i guess its needed for this one right
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062338 is this ok?

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2979 are these good buttons?
i want to keep faceplate black...white led in arrows and x o /\ [] blue triggers
is it hard to make jewel yourself? or is there premade ones to buy somewhere... if anyone knows plz tell me the site .

those buttons r for the fat
and for the red yes use a 10ohm and no need for the uv

do you know where they could sell buttons and door with jewel? both items in same place

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #20 on:** December 17, 2008, 06:31:35 PM »

no but www.shatteredjewles.com sells jewel and i can cut u a door if u want but i would have to charge for supplys and shipping

IDK how i did that but its www.censored.com not shatteredjewels but the link takes u to vectors anyways

www.censored.com
Or click that

NOT hahaha well that was my attempt at a funny

armis · « **Reply #21 on:** December 17, 2008, 07:01:11 PM »

i woudlnt know how to pay you.
ok ......
answer these questions if u can please
where would i solder the resistor for the 5mm Red led?
would it be hard to make a jewel myself? i mean cutting out the plastic from somewhere and sanding it?

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #22 on:** December 17, 2008, 07:15:13 PM »

You solder the resistor somewhere on the positive side... And to make your own jewel isn't hard, but you can't quality engrave it. Members have used all sorts of ways to make custom jewels, like CD cases, folder covers, and even pringle caps...

armis · « **Reply #23 on:** December 17, 2008, 07:19:07 PM »

where to buy the jewels from then...? id like a shop not a person cuz idk how to pay for people..

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #24 on:** December 17, 2008, 07:40:23 PM »

well u would have to pay the shop the same and go to the site i posted its a shop just ask around in there u have to be a member

and for the 5mm u could solder the resistor directly on the positive lead or add wire then add the resistors its up to u
it depends if u just want a clear one or one wit a design
just clear not to hard wit design really hard

armis · « **Reply #25 on:** December 18, 2008, 03:15:53 AM »

ill need to look for it....cuz all clear umd door with black sides doesnt look good. Idk lol.
but how would i pay those ppl?

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #26 on:** December 18, 2008, 04:57:03 AM »

i was talking bout making the jewel lol
but doing the door u could probably do urself but idk

armis · « **Reply #27 on:** December 18, 2008, 05:38:42 AM »

how much would you want for black door with simple jewel? image of jewel is below...idk if its easy or hard to make

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #28 on:** December 18, 2008, 11:51:31 AM »

the jewel would have to be ordered but idk if u wanna do it or me it should be like 20-30 bucks
and i would have to order a door and cut it so like 25-40 bucks depending on how much the jewel and door are

armis · « **Reply #29 on:** December 18, 2008, 11:53:27 AM »

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12899 (look at that retarded S)
30 bucks seems a fair price........but how would i pay you tho?

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #30 on:** December 18, 2008, 01:34:03 PM »

idk if 30 would be enough i have to find out how much the jewel would be but if it is 20 bucks i can do it for 30+ shipping back to u
were do u live at
and idk if they charge shipping to me for the jewel i kno the door has free shipping tho so that is kool
and can u send me a money order or cash or do u have paypal that would be the best

armis · « **Reply #31 on:** December 18, 2008, 01:41:16 PM »

if 30 not enough ill pay more .. i live in virginia ... where do u live?

would it be hard to make this jewel?

do you have skype/aim/msn?
