Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 3625 Registered: Jul-05 | Just picked up a 06' Mercedes C55 and need a little audio help... I want to keep the factory HU and speaker amp, but want to run an ipod (preferably not MBs ipod interface) and a sub-stage with after-market amp. I know of some products like the JL cleansweep and Audison BitOne that have ipod inputs (or USB) and still work as a solid OEM interface. I could care less about keeping my steering wheel controls when I use my ipod. I want the best SQ possible, however Im pretty sure the BitOne is expensive so if the cleansweep will do the job at 1/2 the price, sign me up. Is there any other interfaces I could look into? So... what is everyones opinion on what i should do? I have the subs/amp already picked out so no need for help on those. |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 3208 Registered: Mar-06 | you didn't get good reviews on either the jl or the audison? because somebody has a cleansweep on ca.com for 85 shipped, might be worth just buying and trying, i bet you could move it if you end up not wanting it. hate to sound stupid, but i'm gonna guess your car has an amplified sound system, i wonder if there's anyway the stock amp has rca inputs? that would be too easy and there's probably no way thats true, but there's gotta be a good way because on all those unique whips shows they always throw systems in like the cls's and s classes. |
