I have a 2002 Honda SE and Im trying to install a music interface so i can hookup my neons to it, but I need to know what the best way to install the interface would be, without having to run wires all around my car. Im going to be installing 4 neons 2 in the font 2 in the back under seats, the music interface is going to be under my cdplayer. I also need to know how to remove the panels of the interior to be able to connect the interface to a 12V source, most likely my 12v charger/cig lighter.
I would really appreciate it if someone knows a site with pics and step by step guides to do this to give it to me. Thanks.

I think you are going to have to run wires any way if you are going to put lights under your seats. Unless you try to hide them under floor mats or your center console.

i would say have ur 12v source run to your switch, then to ur music box, then to your neons, each of em grounded of course

The problem is tapping into that 12v source, what would be the best thing to tap into, my cd/casset player, lighter. or fuse box, and how could i tap into it, which wire is the power on it, should i just connect the wire to the 12v power wire on the thing im going to tap into? what should i do?

just turn a wire from the battery, then have a fuse inbetween the battery and the interface box. lucky for my me amp kit had a fuse right next to the battery, so i jsut ran a power wire through the firewall, also right next to the battery, ull see it, its a bifferant color black that the brown of the firewall

If you run a wire from the battery like an amp kit you have to install an on/off wire or you will be pulling power 24hrs a day. You need to find a 12v source that is only providing power when the ignition key is in the on position.
