How to wire 2 led strips to a on-off-on switch with separate lead AND ground?
Each strip needs separate lead AND Ground. One way (up) keeps one led strip on constant, middle way turns both off, other way (down) turns the other led strip on, but its wired into speaker wires of a subwoofer to blink with the bass. Is this possible?
The issue I ran into is the led leads of the speaker wire can't touch any constant lead or ground, it messes with the speakers. If this is possible with only 1 switch, what 3 pos switch do I need?
I hope this made sense. I found no way to do this with research. My last resort is a circut board, but I really don't want to do that. Expensive.

Since they are diodes and audio output is AC, the sound will be diminished and degraded by rectification- removing half the signal wave. There are devices that covert sound signals to make lights blink, but just putting LEDs on a speaker isn't the same thing. If you want to turn a light on and off, the switch needs to be in series with the light.
