[t18con]

Haven't heard of anyone.

If you only want pre-outs I know Blaupunkt makes a DIN to RCA adapter.

 

[t18con]

someone had talked about soldering a conection to somewhere pre internal amp to get a signal for an external amp. anyone?

Just ask, and I'll answer your questions.

I have the console HU in my beezer and running 2 phoenix gold amps on RCA outputs.

So you have the stndard radio or a different head unit?

What converters do you use?

I have seen that just using a high to low level converter still retains noise and sub-woofer thump as it is not truly a low level input to the Amp.

so give us a run down on whats involved! and how hard is it? what expertise is involved?

 

[Ibiza_TDI110]

So I've replaced all my speakers in my Seat Ibiza 2000 TDI 110hp sports edition with the console with a big screen instead of a traditional HU. (all standart from Seat)

My Config:
Front: HSL comp set @75wrms
Rear: 9X6 90wrms

since the original radio couldn't cope with these power speakers (HU is only 4X12wrms) I needed more power. Another Head Unit was not an option.

So I run seperate speaker wires to the booth of the car for the speakers. I disconected the original standard ISO plug from the radio (whick lead to the OEM speakers)

Then I bought a 'naked' ISO speaker plug for my Seat (ask your local car audio dealer)

Then I bought 2 hi level speaker to low level RCA convertors to transfer the speaker level signal to an RCA output.

I've bought the types from Monacor. The are the highes quality. They have a switch on delay circuit. (so no sub woofer thom-thomb) and a sort of noise surpressor integrated sos the sound is very good.

So I soldered the convertors to the naked ISO plug, and plugged it into my HU, than ran double shielded cinck cables to the amps, and so on....

Hmmm high-low level converters with a delay...ideal...

Looks like i'm off the go ICE shopping!

Cheers.

I'm using two Maystar High > Low level converters to run my amps and i don't have any interference or thumps when the stereo is turned on or off... Think there about £15 each...

 

[Dormouse]

Cool.

It amy be that your amps are of high enough quality to include a delay before turning on...

I'm running two Alpine V12 amps, both bought 2 years old. The larger one which powers the sub does have a delay now you mention it, but the smaller one which powers the components upfront comes on instantly.

Perhaps i've been lucky with the set-up that i've got....

As i said before i don't get any interference, but its still not as good as having a proper head unit with a decent line out voltage...

No probs...the main thing is it works for you.

so i take it there are no pre outs,on the original sounds,just want to add a small amp,to give it a little more kick,dont think its a job for me will just have to take it to the local ice man,how much do you think it will cost.
