[QUOTE="asparkofmark, post: 8729388, member: 681877"] Hi guys New here and to car audio in general... Last two years I converted a Fiat Ducato 2017 into a camper van and now its time to upgrade the sound =) I want to be able to play music while driving as well as standing. I have 400ah 12v leisure batteries and plan to use them to power an amp (current favorite: [B]Eton 150.4[/B]) I struggle to figure out a good and cheap way to combine audio sources. The van has the default radio with the builtin navigation system. As I am using [URL='https://www.home-assistant.io/']home assistant [/URL]to automate the van and I want to integrate music as well, I am using a Pi4 with an Allo Boss DAC hut as Music Server (MPD). It has a stereo cinch output. Now I need some help to get both sources into the planned amplifier: I assume the van has an ISO-plug? How can I mix the low/high from the car with a stereo signal? Or should I split the stereo signal and use a mixer for two high/low? It would be nice if I can play the music from the server but still get voice/sound (navigation, alerts etc) from the car. Does this make sense? Is it possible? What would I need in terms of adapter/ converter/ mixer? As said, beginner here, so maybe my idea isn't smart and there is a better way? In terms of speakers I planned to get the Audio System M 165 DUCATO EVO to replace the default speakers and somewhen later add 2 more speakers... Happy to provide more details if necessary =) [/QUOTE]
