how much do they run for? can you get a brand name, part number or antying by chance?

I got the number of a relay specialist store from my local audio shop (I'm friends w/ most of them there) and I am going to try and give them a call.

I did. I have it in almost 4 layers of "SecondSkin" soundeadening, and then 2 or 3 layers of duct tape. It's still pretty loud -- barely made a dent really.

Jeeesh... You would think this would be an easy task. I went to Canadian Tire and I was either dreaming about this OR they were out BUT I did some more searching on the net and found some more info.

Here is what you need:

Aromat makes a 12V Relay that is "Quiet" - their part number is: CQ1-12V you can get info on it http://ctlgserv.mew.co.jp/ctlg/acg/eng/relay/mech_eng/@Generic__BookTextView/15478;td=2;cs=dynaweb1.wv

It appears that it won't plug directly into a normal style 12v relay receptical but the wiring is the same.

I found one place online that you can purchase it here:

1) http://www.avnetmarshall.com/dynamic/search then type in CQ1-12V - but they have no stock.

Sorry I coudn't be of more help...

What exactly are you trying to do? You say everytime music "hits", it changes color of light? I probably have a super quiet solution (no noise), but I need to know more information about what your trying to accomplish and voltages / current.

the StreetGlow Music Interface (MI) I have has a + and a - that comes off of it that is supposed to go to the + and the - of a neon. Then, if you flick a switch("music") on the MI, it uses a mic to tell when the music is loudest. When the beat occurs, the - makes a connection (there is a constant + signal coming out). When the music is quiet again, the - connection is lost.

Using a 5 pin relay like I showed in my first posts I get a very cool and unique effect. What can you do to make that quiet Thinkster?

Also, you have to order 400 or more at a time :(

O.K., so now I have an idea of what your hooking up. I see the unit has 12V Power Input and 4 Output ports. Are these output ports High Voltage or do the Neon Tubes your hooking up have built in inverters? Or should I say are the outputs from the Interface 12V or Higher?

And also, where exactly are you interfacing this relay? what function does the relay serve as I see no "trigger" or turn on inputs on the .pdf manual you refered to.

As for your pin out on the first relay, it's for a PC Board! It can be used, but you need a soldering iron/ gun. If you need more info you can email me at TheModifier@TransAM.zzn.com As for the othr relays that you purchase, they usually have a diagram on the back of the packaging, and/ or on the unit itself.

If you use the later of the two relays, you can buy stake on connectors to connect your wires to the relay. (Walmart Sells a kit of full them).
