Hmm. So if I have a 4-channel amp that I'm hoping to wire the front speakers to and the 8" subwoofer I have, and then run the rears off of the headunit (well, not anymore I suppose; i could always just run left/right and not have fade front/rear) do you have a recommendation? or is this even possible?

 

Yeah, you would just lose fade. The stock amp is 4 channel too, but tablet out is stereo and the BT receiver is stereo, so you just lose the fade.

 

wouldn't i need a receiver that also has a sub out line to go to the amp if i wanted to bridge two channels (the two rear channels on the sub) to run a small subwoofer?

 

Hard to say what you would need, not knowing exactly your setup, etc. All I'm doing is using the stock Mitsu SSL amp and putting a BT receiver in front of it to basically add BT to the amp. That way anything can output audio (ie the tablet) to the stock amp/speakers.

If you have aftermarket audio equipment, you might not even want to go the BT solution. Maybe use a USB DAC instead and have better quality, etc. All depends on what your audio equipment has for inputs and how you have it setup, etc.

 

Looks really good. Would be nice for torque app

 

I was reading this thread and saw some posts about a Ipad, I have a custom Ipad Mini dash for my GTS. I had mine built at Soundman Car Audio, I have 2 videos on the build. Thought I would post it incase you all wanted to check it out.

Pretty sure there's some vids on YouTube for tablet installs

 

bump doing mine a few weeks just wondeirng how you guys are controlling volume on your tablets without a headunit as the volume control's will be blocked if hard mounted?

 

there are some apps controling volume / screen and others, i need to look also cause i just buy one to do the same, if you find ggod apps to be used in car please let me know

 

You really need a preamp to properly clean and amp the single from the iPad or Android device the preamp will have a control nob. For example I am using a JL Audio preamp made just for this purpose (tablets) and my volume nob is right next to cup holder in an easily accessible and discrete location.

Here are example products:

If your using an iPad the up swipe menu has volume control

 

Check out my post I made over here where I installed an iPad mini in my car.

You could follow very similar procedures for an android tablet - if you have any questions feel free to PM me, I usually check the forums every couple days.

 

Nice job I like it.
