[QUOTE="n8skow, post: 8044128, member: 610656"] A couple issues I see: 1. the S/N ratio of the tablet is quite a bit lower than a good headunit - which may be problematic if your running directly to an amp with no signal processor 2. I haven't been able to find the actual audio hardware specs on that tablet, but I'd suspect the sound quality of your system is going to suffer - limited by the quality of the audio processing in the tablet. I've got a Toshiba Thrive here, and can say the sound quality is pretty bad when piped into my Alpine headunit. Haven't tried other manufacturers though - so this may vary quite a bit from tablet to tablet. 3. maybe not a huge issue for you - but you'll lose the ability to play CD's directly (let alone how you'll add content to the tablet). Do they offer a wireless service on those or will you be removing it from the car to add to? [/QUOTE]
