Hooking Up Your PC Sound To Your Car Speakers

**DoDaDDy** · 06-20-2004, 06:52 PM

Do Car Decks have a Audio In port so you can hook your PC sound to your car audio speakers through your deck?

Kinda like this...
PC -- DECK -- Speakers

Is that how it works? Or do you have to get special adapters?

Its called an AUX-IN, some Head Units have it some don't, some need special adapters. What Head Unit are we talking about here?

Either an Alpine or Pioneer deck.

For those you may want to do a search, or at least be more specific, is it Alpine or Pioneer and also model numbers would be nice. Most likely they will need a fairly cheap adapter, or if you are into DIY you can find plans on making one.

Either way post a model number of your HU and we'll see what you need.

I haven't decided on which one I wanted yet, but Pioneer sells an adapter with Audio In, and Alpine decks seem to have it already in. I don't want to sound like too much of a noob, but does HU stand for head unit?

or you could run Headunitless and run PC-->AMP-->Speakers

Or even PC-->Digital Surround Processor-->AMP-->Speakers like me
