Default Help needed with Neon tube.

What's the best way in getting a LED or Neon tube to come on in the back of the car when the amps are on? I go to shows and need a light to come on when the system is going to show off the system etc. I have a Audioban set up with two amps and subs and the amps light up in Blue. Would like to add alittle more blue light back there for the subs etc. They come with a power adapter but didn't want to run it to the front cig. lighter. Can these be wired in someway with the amps without hurting the system? Ideas needed.

Thanks

neon tubes such as the ones from autozone come with the relay built in so keep it attached. then just cut off the cig lighter plug and run the ground to a ground and the power to your remote wire on the amp.
