Ar240 rgb led install

[CraigAR]

Finally beat the rain and finished my install with opt-7 rgb lights. Sorry about the lame music it's the only radio station I could get while recording with my phone and the long video, i was messing with all the features. Really love how I can turn the system to all white, change to 16 different colors, strobe,fade, speed up or slow down and play to music. The opt-7 aura kit is all plug and play. I added 2 expansion kits for a total of 12 strips. Cost $89 plus shipping.

Thanks it came out really well I think. I'll update with some daytime pictures tomorrow before we take it out to watch fireworks. I still need to wire up the rgb's in my rev 8 tower speakers and add the last 2 strips to the stern storage compartments.

That is fly....please post the link. Plug and play is what I prefer.

Does it come with a rgb controller, are you running your towers off that same one?

Very nice, def want this.

My only concern is them damn bugs, at night they seem to appear out of no where once its dusk and you turn on lights...any lights....courtesy, connext screen.

Besides that it came out nice.

It comes with two controllers. My revo 8's in the bow had built in rgb's so I cut the wires and tied them into the controller. I will be doing the same with the rev 8 towers once I get some more wire.

Very nice! seems to be a real marine kit that's actually waterproof.
Two controllers - just for convenience?
Would be great to see how you hook it all up!

Give me a day or 2 and I will get into the boat to take pictures and do a write up of the way I wired the system.

@swatski @Rhino @tabbibus @dnicholas47 @Hana Here is detailed video of the install. Dont mind the bad video I'm a little under the weather and I dont really do how to videos so be easy on me. This kit has now been installed for 7 months and has held up great.

Good stuff! Thanks

Awesome... Where did u get extra y splitters? And didn't you tie the wetsounds rgb speakers into that controller?

 

[BigAbe75]

Excellent, thanks!

Did you disable your white lights when you ran the wires through those, or just squeeze the wire around the existing bulb? And, the stock lights still work? If they still work, there's no chance of getting hot and melting your led wires?

On the same site I bought the kit. Its called the expansion pack and comes with a few extra led strips, longer wire and y splitters. Website is in the 5th post from the top. Yes I forgot that I cut in the rgb speaker lights. I just spliced them into the wire from the kit.
