Gotta agree with MiloX here. That site is a fantastic resource. It would be much more useful for you to get a basic understanding of 12VDC.

 

Ok, I didnt realize it was a really tutorial...thanks...I think...I still need my diode question answered.

 

Sorry,

Forgot to make reference to the diode page in my earlier post.

Yeah... now I am kind of being a d!ck, but a helpful one.

Read up grommet... It wil help.

 

Ok, I cant read anymore Im too tired. Its looks like I have the wrong diodes right? Zener Diodes arent right? Can you just tell me what I am doing wrong and what I need? Id 20 gauge wire wrong? Please tell me I am doing everything in the morning.

 

For your question about which diodes to use, go here.

 

You can use a simple, cheap 1N400X diode.

 

i have one of those on my Dave Navone [LOC (line out converter)] i dont use

see if he'll just sell you the strip?

Ok, Ill return my zener diodes. So is the 20 gauge wire okay?

 

20AWG is plenty.
