    Yes, you can. They will blink along with the music though - not sure if that's what you want to achieve. :p

    Dont be silly, do you believe power is supplied to the speakers in time with the music ?

    How about this piggy back fuse.

    I bought them before, not sure if it was this seller and they work perfectly for a wireless trailer camera and also dash cam.
