Well I sold my ddx6019 for almost what I bought it for 3 years ago so it was hard to turn down the offer. I got a factory headunit for now out of an xlt. It's just a single disk with the tape deck. Old school at its finest. I am reminded how much I miss my screen everytime I get in the truck when the music turns on. It makes my rainbows sound horrible. I am going to upgrade to a dnx9140 around christmas time so I need a temporary fix for now. I still have my amps, comps, and subs in the truck. I have one remote wire for all of this mess. I'm thinking about connecting my remote wire to my fans (which are wired to the ignition) and then I guess i'll have to do a line out convertor. Is there a better way of going about this wiring wise? I guess I am going to have to get a line out convertor and wire it in. I dont have any rear fill so I can just pull off a back panel and wire it right in. I have to rewire my radar detector too since I tapped into the ddx to power it. Where's a good place to wire it? Thanks for the help as always. I miss my screen and my sq. Life sucks without a quality system but once I upgrade everything it'll be worth the temporary heartache.

 

If Im reading this correctly, and it is a goddamn big paragraph for a 1 sentence question (), you want a sort of RF360/JL CleanSweep style processor correct?
Audison BitOne may do the job, but you're pretty limited in overall quality untill you get a better source unit.
If you have AUX switches, as my 350 does, but the 150s may not, that may be a good place. Otherwise any switched 12v line will do, off the ignition or off that yellow wire on the HU.

Mind listing specs on your setup if you have the chance? And apologies in advance if I am way off base with my advice.

 

I'm probably going with the zapco processor to be honest. I will not be adding the processor at this time it will be when I go active with my new setup down the road. I am just trying to get by with what I have for now until I can finance all my upgrades. I have 120 ft of e-dead and 8 cans of great stuff in the interior for now and rainbow cmx's in the front doors. I have an audison srx4 running them and then two diamond d6 10's in a ported box tuned @32hz on a sundown sae1200d.

 

no help?

 

Get a used RF360 off a forum classifieds or ebay, they arent expensive. Use that to temporarily go active now and time align/EQ each channel. You'd be amazed at the sound you can get out of a stock source unit with a solid processor. This will also help you avoid the headache of splitting the low signal for the sub using a LOC and trying to equalize it with amplifier crossovers.

For the remote wire, I'd tap into the ignition wire behind the radio or the one in the fuse box behind the passenger side kick panel.

 

I had to read that like 5 times to understand that Jwool downgraded. Now I'm still not believing it. If my deck pops I'll set the truck on the rail road tracks.

 

I know impact I know it's horrible. I hate the stock headunit but hell for that price why not. I actually sold my diamonds to my uncle today. It will be worth it once my upgrade is complete. I've been wanting to upgrade my stereo for a while so here's the perfect opportunity. I think I am actually going to end up getting rid of all of it and start completely over. Thanks for the help msall.

You better believe I am lookin on diyma all the time to see what I can come up with.

 

Well I know you'll do something awesome. You've tasted the good stuff now there's no being satisfied with the cheap stuff.
