Neon Wiring - Need help!

I'm kinda new to car electornics and everything, and I've run into a problem with wiring all my interior neons together, and I can't figure it out. I've got one 15' blue tube, one radio deck neon, one 5' tube, two 4' tubes, and two pairs of tweeter neons, and I wanted to splice them all together, wire them to a switch so I could shut them on or off, and set my pair of 6x9 neon tubes on a separate switch to turn them off separatley. My problem is that even though I've wired all the positive wires into one connection, and all the negatives into another, it won't work. I ran power and neg cable from the top posts of my battery (has top and side mounts) to my amp in the trunk; I took a positive wire and spliced it into the positive from the battery and hooked it up to a #1 position on a switch, took the positive from the neons and wired them into the #2 position, and wired the negative from the battery into the negative of the neons, and nothing works. I then tried to directy wire only one neon to the cables running from the battery, pos to pos and neg to neg, but it still didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Please Help!!!

it sounds like you hooked it up correctly, even hooking the neons up to the battery and still nothing? That sounds like a problem with the tubes and not the wiring, or did you test it on the wire alread run? does the amp on that wire work? did you fuse it? do you have a volt meter?

Well, it would seem like all the tubes were blown; but i took a brand new one out of the package, cut the cig adapter, and wired it directly into the same power and ground cable from the battery to my amp and that light wouldn't come on. Yes the amp does work; no i didn't fues anything I just direct wired it all; and my bro has a voltmeter.

I know this sounds like an incredibly idiotic question, but do your tubes have the inverter already installed, or is it a seperate unit?
