New member Username: SwanksPost Number: 9 Registered: Nov-04 | I recently purchased an lcd screen and mp3/dvd player. I modded my dash and created a slot and retainer for the dvd player. Im wondering what my best route would be for this. 1) Wire both cdplayer and dvdplayer wires together then into harness, run seperate grounds to the chassy for each. Use y cables to split the preamp output to both HU's. 2) Wire up my dvdplayer and run rca's from my cdplayer into my aux input. I know i shouldnt rn into any issues with option 1) though just wondering if i should run any extra relays or wire things a bit different. Any input is appreciated. Thanks |

The only thing that I can think to do would be to wire in a switch and toggle it back and fourth whenever i wanted to use each other. I do know its most likely throwing back in some nasty feedback as you can tell with the clarity and alternator whining. Any other ideas anyone? |

Im selling my JVC LH300 (seen here: http://www.bizrate.com/marketplace/product_info/overview/index__cat_id--11850000 ,prod_id--11621154,mkt_id--18242768,rf--qgt,qcid--590484036324,kw--jvc+lh300.htm l) for $175 shipped. It comes with the JVC line out adapter ($50) that turns the weird jvc connection to a left and rigth rca female set. then all you have to do is hit a button and the display will show "line-In" and it will sound good. It has 3 sets of 4V outputs for further expansion too. let me know at trikosuave@hotmail.com . BTW its only 8 months old. and in mint condish. |

Ended up getting a brand new model with 1 year warranty through a great store for $240 shipped! http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=62700&I=257KDDV510 Cant wait for my indashes to get in so i can complete this all. |
