But there's really no reason to do this unless you don't have a HU in your car at all. |

Could you suggest with an line driver boost the voltage which I can get in the market. Regards Kiran Akula |

One input for your iPod and it has 3 pairs of outputs for all the amps you'll ever have. Output voltage conrol which you'll need. It also has crossovers and a 30 band eq so you'll want it even if you ever do buy a radio. The only drawback is that it costs as much as a head unit. http://www.mobileaudiocontrol.com/product.asp?Product_Id=14144&d_Id=5247&l1=5247 &l2= there's one on www.ebay.com right now for a pretty fair price. Item number 5802380279. All in all though, I still say you're better off getting a head unit. But if you want, try the setup without the equilizer and see what you think. You can always go out and buy either the DQX at that point or a radio. Somebody else might know of a cheaper solution but audiocontrol makes good products and I've never had a problem with anything of theirs I've installed. |
