    Head Unit That Plays FLAC Files

    I assume you mean ALAC as opposed to the lossy AAC, but in any case, the head unit itself would need to be able to decode the ALAC files as I don't own an iPod and I want to use an external HD via USB. I have to admit though that I've just compared some FLAC files to 320kbps mp3s and it is...

    Head Unit That Plays FLAC Files

    I'm admittedly not familiar with a UOT cable. If it works like an AUX cable, it's not what I'm seeking. I want to be able to connect my storage device (external HD or otherwise) and navigate with the head unit. I have a Sansa Zip Clip which holds 40GB (32GB MicroSD + 8GB internal) and it...

    Head Unit That Plays FLAC Files

    The Pioneer AVH-X4500BT has a limit of 1,500 folders/15,000 files from a USB source, but it doesn't play FLAC files. I'm also a little offput by Pioneer for making it such a ***** to bypass the parking brake setup so I can have the option to play movies without the parking brake engaged. It...

    RCA 4 Channel Question

    Also, when I say set the fader all the way to the front with the Y-splitter option, I mean set it to the front before setting the gains on your amp.

    RCA 4 Channel Question

    I just asked the same question in another thread after your original post and have since come up with the answer. Yes - your way in the post above will work and will keep everything in stereo. I did some digging and found a post somewhere that says you'll want to set the fader on the head unit...

    Bridging 4 Channel Amp for Front Components

    The speaker amp is a JBL GT5-A604. There is no bridge switch. I'm just going to use y-splitters with an RCA cable from the front outputs on the head unit and leave the rear output alone. I'll send both (front) left signals to the front RCA inputs on the amp and both (front) right signals to...

    Bridging 4 Channel Amp for Front Components

    Like the title says, I'll be bridging my four channel amp into two channels to run my front components so I can get max power from the amp. The components have passive crossovers. There will be no rear fill. I've been reading online to understand how to run RCA cables to accomplish this while...
