adding LED's to CarverFest 20w amp

you should get 3.0v across the led, the ones I used did not like much more than 3.5V, poof if you went much higher.....

if you used the white tube bases you will have to source 3mm dia leds, also you will have to take out the center connector, use a small drill bit to remove the swedged out part, then you can push the rest of the barrel out.....

You have a link or something to the ones you used? Not necessarily the same color. Just as a FYI

Thank you, Mike. This is something that I plan on doing to both of my amplifiers.
In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
