No direct volume controls. No fading or balance.

There is just nothing I see anymore beneficial to this in the car. Maybe someone sees something i dont?

Good reviews (mostly) on Amazon.com. I'm picking this up for my home media Mac mini.

Edit - Hey -- free ground shipping!

If I currently have an amp, couldnt I just run the head phone out of the mini into a 2 Channel RCA split and plug that into a RF 3sixty or a JL Audio Cleansweep and get the same results?
PS the RF 3sixty has a 2 channel AUX input.

No. The Firewave is 5.1. Your suggestion is simply dual stereo.

Can someone expalin exactly how this is hooked up. I would guess it has USB connection and the the optical input from the mini and the speaker level outputs? PLease correct me if I am wrong.

It's hooked up via firewire and has 3-3.5mm speaker level outputs.

Why does it only have 3 speaker level outputs and what does the 3.5" mean? I would think it would have 4 + 1 for the sub given that it produces 5.1.

Whoops it's 3.5 mm not 3.5". Each plug is stereo, so 1 for fronts, 1 for rears, 1 for sub/center channel.

Found a picture:

ok I got ya. Thanks for the pic. One last question. So if I had this set up and a amp bc I will not be using a HU, would I still get 3.5mm to RCA and plug the RCA for LR ect to the amps input?
