Thread: Alpine KTP-445 in headless setup. Low Volume.

I think I figured out what the issue is.
The KTP-445 is expecting speaker level inputs which my tablet just can't produce.
I really want to keep it simple and not use a head unit so I guess I need a different amp. Any Recommendations?

If the amp is really looking for a more amplified input then you could try putting in a line driver between the output of the tablet and the input of the amplifier.

I imagine something like this could do the job:

Thanks for your reply.
I am so disappointed by the way this amp situation has transpired that I'm going to ditch it in favor of a completely different amp that does line level input.
will be posting new thread with questions about my intended setup.
Thanks again for your input.

^ nope, he still need's a regular amp..

the most popular option has been 'motorcycle amps' on ebay, though parts-express.com also has started offering a similar model amp. either are quite cheap, and smaller then average amps.

Thanks everyone for your help. I bought a Kicker 4 channel AMP Model 11DX200.4. Didn't use the Alpine at all.
I must say it has by far exceeded my expectations. I am still using the stock junk speakers that came in the car for now. That will be my next project. I will be posting details in the completed project section if anyone else is interested in a headless android tablet project.
