[QUOTE="fasfocus00, post: 8109866, member: 576857"] proof of degraded sound quality via RTA? anyone can say something sounds like crap but what is the evidence that it actually is crap. this is like saying that Power Acoustik sounds like crap but yet I have a few installs that I've done with Power Acoustik stuff that no one says they sound like crap. also dumping gobs of money? most of the money is in the purchase of the tablet. you can get a good quality 1/2 din EQ for less than $75 and that'll give you 3 sets of higher volt pre amp outs than most head units will give you. grant it most tablets (Kindle Fire HDs have dolby audio) will only give you a mono sound out, for most ppl they either don't care or can't tell the difference with music only. it's not like the OP is going for an SQ only type of system, chances are he just wants a good sounding system that is based around his tablet. I have yet to do a tablet based system and have the person say it sounds like crap or that they wished they would have used a $400 HU with a $500 tablet. using a headunit with a tablet will almost always cost more than just using a tablet with a sound processor, obviously this is dependent on the sound processor. with the recent increase in tablet integration to car audio, there will be minimal sound difference between using a USB to HU connection versus using a tablets headphone jack to RCA. there may be a small difference is sound but it will be nothing that any human ear can detect. this is a "butt dyno" comparison, some saying that they installed an eBay intake and they can feel the increase of 3HP on a stock Honda Civic.
