Hi,im just sold my HU.since my new HU will only come by next month,so I plan to use mp3 player instead of player to connect to my amp.
Does this idea can work?because i heard from other forummer about this idea.they said just connect the mp3 player into the amplifier input.
but waht i wonder is how to connectbetween this 2 device since the terminals are different. mp3 player terminal like pc speaker jack,amplifier terminal like house use AV cable input wor.
Any comment about this?thanks.

wat u need is a 3.5 mini to RCA cable. then u can connect already....but heres another more important and maybe difficult question....

how u gonna turn the amp on? coz the amp only turns on when it gets a signal from the HU via the remote cable.

Well ive used my ngage as ICE when my HU is broken several weeks ago.. I use a 3.5 mini to RCA cable to my pre amp.. since my pre amp have a Main and AUX connection therefore i dont have to hassle changing the setup just click to the AUX button

oh,that mean must have to remote on the amp only can ah?what voltage that drive the amp input?the 12V player input voltage can direct connect to power on the amp?

if u look at the amp ull see 3 terminals.. grd, positive, and remote.

the positive would be from ur battery.... but the remote is from ur player.

when u turn on ur player, itll send a signal to the amp via the remote terminal and the amp will turn on.... when u off ur player the same thing happens and ur amp turns off. n i honestly have no idea how to duplicate that effect without a HU.

if you dont mind to tell me how many voltage to drive the remote input then i'll have idea. thanks.

voltage??? no idea man...could be 12v could be less could be more. never really knew about that.

mebbe someone else knows

u gonna kidding if connect the earphone jack direct to the amp's rca input....

yes it will work, but the amp will die very soon....

remember the amp is a low input device(rca)....while headphoine jack is providing a hi output....lolz...

get a AUX to RCA jack cable... and get another 10A switch and some wires....

1. connect the AUX cable from your mp3 player to your amp...

Mp3 player=AUX <-------->RCA=amp

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. take the wire, connect to your amp battery terminal then connect to your switch... put the switch somewhere easily reacheable... then the other end connect to the remote teminal on the amp... thats all...

Battery terminal-------switch-----remote terminal

thats all... easy but you got only two channel to play with... unless you got a pre-amp or use Y-RCA to split them... and one more thing is mp3 player output always seems to be very low volume one... even you open the volume to the max...

cheers...

i hav the ways to do it....

got i good idea for 3 terminal of amplifier positive for 12v negative for ground then the remote also connect to positive it will work.i using now but wire for remote need smaller.

do u mind to post up the connection diagrams to let us all can get it clearly?thanks.

i think he is saying the same think like i am saying in my ealier post...
