What you need is a media expander that works similar to a home receiver that allows you to hookup multiple sources to one central hub. I believe Alpine has something for this but it's not going to be cheap.

If your original CD player has better sound why won't you just stick with that one?

BUT

My Dvd player has 2 set of rca outputs. (one set for the rear and one for the front) What if....

I have two different set rca cables plug into those leading them to some type of splitter and having that splitter plugged into my cd player's audio input then having my cd player hooked up to the speakers?

Would that work?

Attachment 8263

The N-806 is a pre-amp level (RCA-Leads), voltage sensitive device designed to switch the signal between two head pieces (i.e. Cassette Deck and CD Player or CD Player and MP3 Player) and an amplifier. The control trigger for the switch can be the electric antenna output lead from the deck.

will this work?

[kingjames64]

or anything similar to something like this maybe?

[kingjames64]

anybody know?

sell or trade your dvd head unit and get a different one...

[AZFire316]

Or just use your dvd deck as a source, and use your cd player has the reciever. Basically all the dvd deck would be doing is playing the video, and outputing the signal to the other deck using line level output.

i said that in a post above and someone said it wouldnt work, cherrington i think

[JLw7123]

get like alpine,clarion, pioneer. those are some good headunits. I would recommended alpine like cherryington said those radios are really clear i have one as well.

[MattismodderX]

simple solution, two seats of rcas to the amp. its how the competition guys i saw did it. had a separate headunit to hold outside the car for bass race. just switched the RCAs on the amps before they started

[AZFire316]

Sorry about that, I was dead tired lol. Yes it will work, I did it on my old maxima. The only thing you will lose with this set up is the surround effects, but you are in a car anyway, so who cares?

[kingjames64]

AZFire the line level out would be the two set of RCA's for rear and front correct?

without diodes in the splitting lines.. your risking burning out the rca's on the slave unit. (which will change depending on which your listening to)

[kingjames64]

what about an AB type switch?

why bother putting all this effort toward it. Just save up and buy one GOOD dvd unit, and you'll be done.
