    Please always look into details like what type of data your car uses, what software type your vehicle needs from the Android unit and if you're using aftermarket amps or not. OEM backup cam compatibly or aftermarket etc...
    Most shops won't touch these

    Look ma, i play a professional on UA-cam!
    Is there a Input Level Adjuster on your Amp?
    Yes?
    So why do you care about it?
    If you really are into Car Hifi you never get these Chineseium Head Units

    I want one so badly for the features and having a full OS I can do what I want with, including writing custom apps in Dart/Flutter. But no one makes a quality one yet that I am aware of. Seems only cheap Chinese ones are available. Still waiting.. also, finding a decent brand that works well with mirroring seems to be a thing if the past. So for now, just a quality Alpine with CarPlay/AndroidAuto is what I got.

      Enon was a brand I used for German back in the day. Think they were sold on eBay. Early 2000s BMW went pretty smooth. Many cars that had OEM amps required amp bypass harnesses that were 17 feet long lol. Good times.

      About to do this but I'm going with an Andriod Tablet system. Depending on yout car you can buy a bezel and basically install any app with Google maps, car info with an OBD scanner etc. They run on Bluetooth as well so hooking up to any modern car is easy. Just read on getting any backup camera to work as well.

    $200 touchscreen vs $800. Get what you pay for kinda?

    • @VicOrlando

      It's true name brand. Especially SONY you'll pay extra but you do get CEA certifications and other things that kind of guarantee a standard for the most part when you do buy these things. Androids are for more tech savvy people who want to modify things but you obviously need to know about key gens and code etc... not for an average consumer and I'm not gonna sit there and play with it for them. 🤦

      If you listen to why I said that's a bad idea you wouldn't write this. Pre amp voltage is 2volt divide that and now how much dB loss do you get? 🤔
      10log Pout/Pin is the formula 😉

    • @unsaidatom2310
      @unsaidatom2310 5 місяців тому

      Units with 2 outputs are usually just split internally anyway. A single output can generally be split twice without using an amplifier.

      @@unsaidatom2310 oh yea? 🤔 So you're saying splitting it into 20k Ω from 10kΩ doesn't make difference huh 😀 very interesting. Your ohms law has different physics than mine 🤷
      How does fade and balance or time alignment function if they the same source internally 🤔

      @@VicOrlando I'm saying, Mr "I just read the internet yesterday", that it doesn't make much difference as the impedance is still high. I don't know about you, but when I balance and time align a system I don't use just what comes out of the head unit because it will ALWAYS need adjustment. Did you know that amps have different gain and that speakers have different sensitivity?
      Now next time you post something on UA-cam, maybe check your facts first. Also, you probably need to plug the business a bit more to make sure no one ends up with your dumb ass touching their car?

    I have this stereo and am in this bind myself. Is there anything you’d suggest other than a splitter?

    • @VicOrlando
      @VicOrlando  5 місяців тому

      I used the one output. For rear that's it. You can use a splitter into something else like audio control lc2pro if you want more pre amp voltage and sub control 🤷
