Alright people,
Firstly, I know very little about electric circuits.
For a long time I've been interested in connecting an LED strip to my speakers / amplifier to 'pulse' or whatever to the bass. There are a few videos on YouTube with this "mod", but there are endless comments about the amp blowing the LED's as there's too much power being put through them.
A few comments suggest using resistors, but could someone please explain what resistors would be needed, and how you would put them into the 'circuit'? It'd be also really helpful if you could mention where you can get them from!
Thanks in advance!
Notes (you probably don't need to see these but ayo):
The amp I'm using look a bit like this:

The speakers I'm using look like this:

The exact LED strip:
