un1eash Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Are you trying to play your tablet through the head unit. If so you need an aux input on the head unit. I dont understand what your saying about your amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think you got it all backwards Tablet into HU, HU into Amp, Amp into speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 I thought i might have ,ive got a cable that goes into my home stereo from tablet and its jack to rca so assumed it would be same, i have a aux in at front so jack to jack then? Does that even exist lol with regards to amp i basically have line out but no line in,is that all i need line out from stereo to amp? Also the blue remote wire is part of iso connector on new stereo do i just splice into that and run wire to amp? you really don't want to know the mess of wires i have to deal with showed mate amp under strut which was swiftly followed by a WTF jdm wiring got to love it,so im on a mission to clean it all up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Unless you have a rear set of RCA aux in (most HUs do) then you will have to use the front aux in yes. You are right about the amp power on wire from the HU to the amp this fires up the amp, usually blue/white but depends on the HU You dont need anything to run from the amp back to the HU just the RCAs from the HU and a power on, and obviously a power supply from the battery. If you are not sure why not just pay someone to sort it all, no shame in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks smd that clears a few things up for me,funny thing is i had to wire my old headunit when i first got the zed four years ago once i finally got it to work just shoved it all back in before i lost it again lol got a pic somewhere you will find it amusing,but i did it once but i think having no aux rca in on new stereo has thrown me off which is odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Not all HU have rear aux in RCAs unfortunately it must be pretty old or cheap Have you thought of swapping it you can get some real bargains at the moment... Good luck, if you get stuck take some pics and post them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 cheers buddy it has everything else bluetooth, jack aux in, usb, sd card, video input so just found it strange it didnt have what i need...as usual Im gonna have a look around this is single din and more and more im getting tempted by a double din its weird as i was dead against them at first But i got a pioneer 4 channel amp and some crazy double sub box which ive deafened my neighbours with already and got whole lot for a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
