Could I do this instead of using an indash deck? And would I still need the remote turn on?

 

[hearse]

yes you could. but dunno how good it would sound :dunno: and you would have to wire the remote wire to either a switch or to a accessory power source

it might work. you need to check whats the lowest voltage your amps rcas will take. if its not as low as your mp3 players then it will not get loud enough.

YOU MAY BE ABLE TO DO IT, BUT YOU WILL NEED SOME SORT OF LINE BOOSTER, LIKE THIS:
AUDIO CONTROL OVERDRIVE

Well I want to do this on a trike not a car so how would I wire the remote turn on to a switch? Could I tap into the 12 volt power source(positive wire) or will that mess everything up?
Also the reason why I wanted to use an mp3 instead of a deck is becuase the mp3 would have its own power source and allow the battery to last longer between charges... but would a line driver just take up more power and just make using the mp3 pointless? I have never used a line power driver so I dont know how it works :dunno:

ive done this a million times on my lowlow bikes back in the day,wire the positive and neg as you would in a car then the remote wire is basicly a positive wire that gets a switch inline

hook the remote to the positive on the power source when you disconnect it the amp will shut off

Yup, this application works well. I have done this mp3 to amp setup for some customers that go to the desert. They roll in their dune buggies with loud ass systems no problem.

Ok thanks for the help people... Will try without line booster and get one if needed...

I actually had the same setup on my trike except I used a portable cd player but its the same idea..I cut a piece of sheet metal and mounted the switch 2 it and mounted the piece of sheet metal to the nut and bolt under your seat were the seat post goes into it..it was just a regular on off toggle switch..
And as far as the setup..all u need is the wire that plugs into the headphone jack and has the red and white rca's on the other end

I just bought a converter that hooks in line with your antenna and then hook up to your ipod so you dont have to change out your deck. It also has a cable that will hook into the bottom of the ipod and charge it as well. About 40.00 each.

 

[layin_lo_wit_my_ho]

Were do you get one of those?

 

[RO Sleepy]

[layin_lo_wit_my_ho]

i ran my computer to an amp and sub just need a rca to headphone jack.. i heard no difference in sound, just make sure its a quality cable you use. i used a double headphone plug in. and used a rca to headphone jack, to run another amp for mids and tweets,as for shutting it off i wired the remote to a independent light switch :cheesy:
