[QUOTE="~Magick_Man~, post: 2702053, member: 560423"] well i recently got my h701 installed using a set of rca's from my deck and now i am getting some background hum/noises. they are there all the time but not that bad. when playing a zero bit track with the h701 volume maxed and the hu volume down low it is very noticable. i have heard it is not uncommon to have noise problems with the h701 using the analog inputs. so i want to have a converter in the dash and run an optical cable back to the h701. but i have heard the h701 must be plugged into an alpine HU for the optical to work, meaning just any old optical signal wont work. is this true? i am looking at changing over to the alpine 9860 and using that for the optical but i dont want to spend that money right now if i can avoid it. i am pretty sure it is not my wiring since i have switched everything around once since i put the H701 in, and have been very careful about how my wires are ran. and i dont think it is my amps since all my speakers do it, and each set of speakers if ran from a different amp. sorry for the long winded description. what i am really asking is can this be done (using a coax -> optical converter) and if it can is there any converters that you would suggest? thanks for taking the time to read this. and all help would be greatly appreciated. ~Magick_Man~ [/QUOTE]
