I want to put the LED strips inside the cabinet of my guitar amp, is this a viable option?

Absolutely, it will look awesome. I suggest using a plug-in power supply to power the LEDs. While it is possible to power them from the guitar amp itself, unless you are quite proficient at electronics, you may be asking for trouble. Better to keep things separate.

if your amp has a 12v power supply you should be able to wire it into the amps wiring Just be sure to check the amps on the power supply iotherwise you will have to run a separate cord for just the led's but yes the tape on the back of the lights should hold but for long term i suggest screwing it in with mounting brackets * Do Not Screw threw the Light cord*

I can't definitively say if they would fit in your guitar amp, since I don't know what the dimensions are, but these take up so little space that they should fit fine. Make sure you have room for the power supply for the LEDs, and that the remote sensor has a hole to poke through so you can control the LEDs from outside.

i think that would work well. I have them as under cabinet lights in the kitchen, and under the baseboards in my daughters room. very nice

All the answers below mirror my experience. Works with mono LED strip without a problem. Bought another to control under cabinet lighting in my other house.

I don't know. You'd have to do the math w/ the watts and amps this power supply supplies. My advice would be to find the needs of your light strip and then search based on those specs. That's how I found this wall wart for my wall clock.

Yes, if you strip the wire carefully, the RGB LED Light Strip is easy to soldier to. The maximum run distance still applies though, so be careful as you add length that you have enough power to drive the length of wire you add plus the length of the RGB LED Light Strip.

Yes, that is what they are intended to do. However, it is not easy to attach these to the LED strips so that the connection is good and they adhere well. I expect to need to replace these with soldered connections when these fail. But for the price, you may find these worth a try.

Yes. Although you may want to overestimate your requirements for that power supply. These boards are quite efficient, but not 100%, so your supply will need to provide &gt;30 watts to get 30 watts to the LED. Anyway, in all cases it is a good idea to have 30% or so overhead on your power supply.

You can cut the strips at certain contact points( I think it was every 3 LEDs). From there you can either solder on fresh wires or use premade connectors to the contact points,(+) and (-). It's not complicated at all and easily done.

This strip is powered by a 12 volts DC converter, so as long as your power supply has an output of 12vdc then I would not hesitate hooking them up. This is a very versatile set of lights. Have fun with them.

Only one strip, you could maybe get away with two. You'll need to purchase an RGB amplifiers for the additional strips

The LED strip only has a molex connector; this requires a power supply inside a computer to power it. You would rewire the strips to be powered by another 5V source, but I would go with a different DIY solution.

As long as you do not exceed 12w per channel. Check the wattage on the leds. I would guess that a 5050smd strip would draw about 10w. You'll probably be fine.

the head light come with led light already built in. if you want to add extra led lights like the led strips then you will want to head over to you nearest auto audio and performance shop. If you just want the heads you will be fine.

They can be cut every 3 LEDs, in order to do what you want, I did the same thing essentially. I took speaker wire and soldered it to the corresponding places + and -, so yes you are able to do that. Hopefully this helps

Absolutely. LEDs use a lot less, you won't go over.. Just be sure the bulb base fits the socket.. Not standard, use candelabra bulbs.

yes, it should work fine,Leds are very low amperage, you might have to use a resister to limit voltage depending on the LED Rating.

Nothing, they can be left exposed at the end of the strip. You can attach them with an adaptor to another strip of LEDs if you want.

You should be able to. I hid mine around a window frame and connected LED strips from one kitchen cabinet to the next.
