I've got a clarion DB625MP which has 2 sets of pre-outs. If i were to say, hook a LCD display up, would i have to purchase some type of device to allow input into the HU? Would a dvd player act like that? I'm pretty sure pre-outs don't act as inputs. Has anyone else done it where they hook up a separate dvd player in the car?

You need a HU with an AUX. input or you can buy my audiocontrol 4.1 eq/line driver which will greatly improve your SQ and has the aux input you need.

If i were to do a dvd player and an LCD monitor, i'd still only need on modulator or the audiocontrol right since the dvd player will have in's and out's....or is my train of thought off track?

heres a quick break down.

your source(dvd plyer/ps2/ wahtever you want) has 3 outputs: 2 audio 1 video, your lcd will have a power and ground wire with a video input, some come with outputs to run more than one, your fm modulator have 2 inputs for the 2 audio wires from the source, the 1 video output from the source goes straight to the screen, then on the other end of the fm modulator is two antenna wires, 1 connects to the factory antenna wire behind the radio and the other goes into your headunit. And that is that.

well hot damn that makes sense. I understand that perfectly. But would the FM modulator go between the other amps or would it got on a separate rca pre out line? Maybe after all the audio the fm modulator would sit?

it will have nothing to do with the amps or anything else, its soley(sp) dedicated to your extra source. The outputs on the fm modulator go to the antenna input on your headunit so no need for use of more pre outs.

ahhhh pics are so nice.

Ok I see it now. The HU acts like a receiver. So hooking up like that would still utilize the subs and amps. I'm 99% sure i'm with ya. The pic helps big time. At least when i get the cash to install i'll have some type of schematic.

thnx a bunch
