hi, Im planning on getting a tC pretty soon, and while Im waiting im gonna get a sub/amp setup first, I had a few questions about the rca adaptor for the stock headunits...

1. Do these put out pretty good sound quality? I wont lose any quality right?

2. No wires are cut right when using the adaptor right? Because Im planning on putting a HU soon also.

thanks

 

the stock headunit doesn't have rcas outputs

 

Yes I know, Im talking about the adapter you can buy...

 

i bought this one..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

contact seller so that he can tell you which one to purchase. mine sounds okay...thats my setup until i buy my avic-n1

 

the harness is BADASS i love it.
it gives u 1 pair of rca's and it is 'faded' with the rear channel

 

also..u dont have to cut or splice anything..it plugs into the harness and from there to the stereo

 

why does that picture show that the wires are pre cut?

how is the sound quality on them?

maybe this one is the one I want....

 

eee.... i installed mine in july so i dont remember about the pre-cit wires.. all i know is that i just connected two adapters to the harness and two to the stereo.. the sound is okay..i do get the fuzzy static noise..its either the stock radio or the rca cables crossing with the power cable..but when you hit the volume the fuzzy static dissapears.. i would recommend it.. i didnt want to cut my wires so thats why i choosed that setup.

 

thats a nice ___ little harness...wish i had found that before i put my subs in cause i had to splice wires to get the rca adapter hooked up

 

or you could get a new headunit and have much better sq

 

I think Ill go with the new HU route...

 

or i could spend 15 dollars on the adapter and still get above average sound quality

 

the adaper that was shown was $55 when I looked at it plus shipping, and someone even said then get fuzzy sounds. you can get a new headunit for about $150 and it will sould so much better

"you get what you pay for"

 

well i got a buddy that works at a stereo specialty shop and mine was 15 dollars and i don't get any fuzzy sounds i barely get any static through my speakers when i listen to the radio

 

Not to mention the voltage isnt probably that great, the headunit Im looking at gives out 5v..

 

you will also get more watts out of a aftermarket headunit

 

imma go with the avic-n1 after im not broke..or income tax time along with my new shoes and springs

 

I bought a $200 sony and the stock HU sounded much better. Truth is the stock units are tuned well for our cars and push plenty of power. You can get the bazooka sub and the xm radion which tells us there is a way to get sub outs and aux in's on them. If I were to do it again, I'd have kept my stock HU.

 

my kenwood sounds so much better than the stock
