But I havent tried any such thing on any car audio HU's though. At the same time, there are head units that can drive iPods via dedicated iPod ports, but if you hook an iPod into a USB port, it is treated as any hard drive and the above mentioned limit applies.
Again on paper, the 6x9 coaxials are full range speakers and should suffice. But how would the setup sound, and more important if you would like it is another story. To know about the chances of just a pair of 6x9's sounding good in a setup, search this thread itself. |
I never wanted a HU to read form my iPod or USB drive.
I will not buy a HU, instead I will connect my iPod to a AMP to a pair of Speakers for Rear Door only. Cost is like 7000/- and I'm done. Play with my iPod, playlists and all. I dont think any under 10,000/- HU can manage playlists, and most liked songs, rating a track, search by genre, album, artist - not much flexibility in a HU.
So i plan to drop the HU and only buy an AMP + Speakers for read door.
All I want to know form the GURUS is, if this is done, will the iPod be enuf to deliver to the AMP.? in terms of jargons like Ohms/Watts/RMS or anything you guys call ém.
May be I should draw a small flow diagram!
