[QUOTE="LJM, post: 13953, member: 541930"] Greetings, I’ve recently bought a Blaupunkt CD receiver (the San Francisco model), which I plan to put into my 2002 Acura RSX Type S. My Acura RSX Type S came with a Bose stereo system. I was told that I would need an interface between my aftermarket CD receiver and the Bose amplifier/speakers. Apparently the Bose system uses a floating ground whereas my aftermarket HU has a common ground. The interface is supposed to compensate for these two different ground potentials. There are several companies, such as SoundGate, Peripheral, PIE, and Scosche, that sell these devices. Sound Gate is the highest priced at about $100, whereas Scosche is the lowest at about $30. I’m wondering if price dictates quality among these various brands? Are there any data sources available -- preferably a website -- that compares the performance of these interfaces? If not, than are there any personal recommendations based on experience? TIA, LJM [/QUOTE]
