Default LED Music Controllers

Trying to find a controller for LED strip lites that will flash my LEDS to music. Prefer the controllers that use an AV input vs the mic.

Problem I'm running into is that all I can find is that they all are for RGB strip lights, not the single color strip. The single lites are a simple 12vdc.

Looking for quality unit that actually flashes, not just flickers like the cheaper controllers.

Do they make them for single color? Or possibly just classified as 12vdc output?

The girls want lites to beat with the music. Who am I do disagree?

i installed one of the cheapo ones from Amazon and it works great, i was going to say you can hook up a single color strip to that controller and it would work but as I write this I realized you would only have light 1/3 of the time.

here they are in action

Wonder if you could just jump the 3 terminals together? As long as the voltage is 12v out each circuit, not sure it would be a problem. Or divide your led strips into 3 different circuits?

I went with the RGB Million color with Ozium controller. Also did the transom, all the speakers and cup holders. It does have a music interface and remote controller and YES the women do love it. here is a like to the video.

jumping the three together might work, worst case you burn out a $30 controller, why don't you want to have RGB?

Where have you guys found the purple LEDs? I've been looking everywhere for them and have had no luck.

because purple is generated by a combination of red and blue, you need RGB lights and then you can get purple.

PSTORTI is correct. I can generate just about any color I want with the RGB's and the remote. They are awesome. I had mine installed from a guy named john in paducah kentucky. I'm sure he will chime in on this thread he is amazing with what he can do with these lights.
