Not running a head unit? Carputer for only source of audio
This is for those of you not using a head unit in your vehicle. How do you distibute the audio from the PC to all the speakers? I'm assuming you use a amp or something because the output of the sound car isnt strong enough to power all those speakers.

Go with a Panasonic cy-ac300 unit, has the remote wire. Digital in analog (RCA) in plus, a RCA for a center channel, if need be, makes the HU-Less install more friendly.

?
Get a 4 or 5 channel amp. Get an rca adapter to go from sound card to rca out for the amp. Then use the amp channels to speakers.

You still can keep your HU to be FM and amplifier and use either AUX adapter or just have interface to your PC through the CDC interface.

a word of advice, the signal coming from your computer is next to nothing (something like .5mv?) meaning that your sound will sound like crap. Run a eq, or somehting of that nature, to bump up your voltage to reasonable amounts, from there into your amp.
You will be surprised how much better it will sound. I don't care what card you have, what amp you have....if you don't have the voltage going to the amp in the first place the rest doesn't matter....
btw, I haven't had a head unit in my car for over a year and a half now....of course I refuse to listen to FM radio as it sucks ***....other than that I see no reason for a head unit (and even then there are ways around it)

Any pics on your setup, Im in the same boat, but the ac300 made life easy.
