The power supply is connected via switches in my center console to a power inverter which is connected to my battery. See the pictures for each week and you'll get a good idea.

That looks great, I want to do the same thing but instead I want to keep the stock headunit, what is the best way to replace all the speakers and add a amp and have both carpc and HU go to the amp?
|
So how does it power up/down? Does it have to restart everytime you start your car? I know the answer is too complicated to list.

here's a screenshot of phone-control ...

could i use a y rca adapter to the
amp? would that sound good? |
very nice!!!!!
|
here's what i used : -
http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/pro...kca121b-f.jpeg this is connected directly on one end to my alpine and the other two rca inputs are connected to a stereo->RCA cable coming from the computer. Perfect mp3's ... can't tell the difference from my HU mp3 player |
Exactly what I want. Except instead of using a PC Mother board, I want one of those small pc boxes you can mount in a car.
|
see i am sick of my stuff getting stolen so i want to keep the stock HU, so I was goin to get a line converter to RCA's and bring the carpc RCA's to a Y splitter and feed them to a 4 ch alpine amp to alpine R's, but will the sound be ok with the splitter or will i get feedback?? is there anyway to a switch or something to avoid feedback?
thanks |
