[QUOTE="CRACKLES-4130, post: 8742536, member: 682728"] Hi there and cheers for the response 👍🏼😊 I have actually just finished looking into a 4-CH 150 watt line out converter in the hopes that it could sort out my (lack of) RCA's... 🤔 So you think something like this would be a good idea? What I can see happening is over capitalising on, essentially, a piece of sh1t, when instead, I could of thrown a better used chunk of coin at a "decent" head unit, doing away the need for bandaid fixes and potential disappointments... I saw "4x45 watt rms output" & "1080p display" and thought that it would be an OK h/u... Oh well, live and learn... I came across a 12" Kicker sub in box with a matched Rockford Fosgate mono amp for very affordable money this afternoon in town. I sent the seller an offer. If they accept I'll be collecting it as soon as I can. If it wasn't for this bloody double din arrangement on the misso's car I'd be home free, pretty much! I've got a really good Alpine single din h/u and also the afore mentioned JVC that I would of happily donated to the cause... She's seen the touchscreen display of the Chinese double din I got her so the excitement levels are up there lol...
