BA amplifer input

[manu_b]

I would like to know if the output by the BA is low level or speaker level. As if its speaker level then i can put a car pc in between stereo and amp. In the computer a dedicated sound card with virtual surround sound. If its low level then i can look towards other option such as alpine imprint etc.

From the head unit it is a low level single to the oem amp It sound like your looking almost for a aux input

It's definitely a "low level" signal. Also, I can't understand you saying you'd want to run line-level (or high level) inputs into a car PC. I don't know of any sound card I have ever seen that accepted a line-level input. I think the IMPRINT has the ability to accept line and low level inputs - perhaps you got it backwards?

I have a creative sound card. The way I use it right now is I have two different input sources connected to it and then listen to the songs through pc speakers. I did a experiment with my car. I fed my pc audio into cars aux jack and turned on all the enhancments and the quality of the sound was really good and it did mimic the surround sound, also I have all the parts at home, so it's cheap way. But anyways if it's low level then I think I will buy imprint

You are right , I think sound cards won't handle it

So you are looking for and aux input into the radio. The alpine unit will work you can also you a jl clean sewap or a rockfordfasgate 360.all of there have RCA inputs and there are a few audio contriol unit that do as wall that is if you won't to spend 200 on up of an aux input. But let me toss another Idea at you use a powerd hardware fm mode parts may run 40 max You will need one fm mode and two ant adapters one gm to standert ans a standert back to gm. All of them us RCA sound as long as you a pc with RCA out put you can get it to work for sound as far as using a PC Card for sound q I have never seen one

Keeping everything stock, if I install a Rockford 363 or alpine sound processor where would be the ideal location. I don't need loud system, all I need is clarity and I should feel I am immersed in sound, rather then sound coming from doors.

They are set up to us aftermart amps bcouse the are trying to give batter sound then stock with an amp the the PDx5 or the punch 10005 it will blow your mind the night and day difference over It keep the stock I would just use the powered fm mode call it a day no point In buying a $600 unit just for an aux input

From what you are asking for here, you would be best served by a JBL MS-8. The 3Sixty.3 would work, but it's going to be much more difficult to set up and tune. The Cleansweep will NOT work as it does not perform time alignment, which you need for the surround effect. The IMPRINT may work, but I have no experience with it.

Best bet is the MS-8. The Logic7 surround processing is pretty sick.
