evermaxx Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Which unit you like better? Or you always had the 9500?

RossGo Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Reason I ask about the 80prs is it's option to run tablet mode or whatever it's called Where you basically use it as a pass thru to send the tablet signal to the amps. It's also active (not as good an eq), but it lets you dump your 360 and it's issues. As far as I know, optical from an ipad is essentially no better than 30pin or lightning out, because it has to be processed to be converted to optical, and it's not up converted. This may be way different for your note, but it's something to look at. Regardless, clean up your harness before making any moves, and add another ground into the harness that grounds to your steering cross bar or something like that. I've had success with that eliminating whine Yes I have a lot of stereo weight.

scooter99 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I don't remember tablet mode or mobile mode or anything. But I'll take your word for it. I'd still have to find a spot for it though. I've tried it and I can tell a noticeable difference between the RCA's analog 3.5 conversion, and the HDMI adapter+HDMI converter+Optical with the entertainment system at home. Even the HDMI converter does RCA out, and that sounds considerably different that the optical. I'll clean things up behind the unit for sure. I'll have to deal with this for a bit until I can get the tablet mount built etc. They're pretty comparable Evermaxx. The 80prs has the processor built in, but doesn't have hd radio which was what I wanted back then. I don't remember why I sold the 80prs, but I'm sure I had some good reason. I bough the 9500 cause it was on sale and a good deal. It's a good unit, and pretty close to the same as the 80prs, just no processor.

choicewhitemeat Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yeah that's one of the things I have to worry about, but my biggest concern is how to operate this thing: https://www.octavainc.com/HDMI%20distribution%20amp_splitter%202%20port.html I'm at work so obviously I don't have it with me, but I can give you the specs when I get home of what the plug numbers are, unless you can find it on there. I just didn't want to have to do a converter if I could avoid it. Unfortunately you are going to have to use the MHL adapter to get HDMI out from your Galaxy 8.0. I wouldn't use something that big as there are much smaller digital converters. Here is one for cheap and you won't have to use the one from your house. Plus it operates at 5V so you would just need to buy a voltage converter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ViewHD-Premium-HDMI-to-HDMI-RCA-L-R-TOSLINK-Audio-Extractor-Converter-2013-/271331213223?pt=US_Audio_Cables_Adapters&hash=item3f2c99bfa7 http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPERNIGHT-DC-DC-12V-24V-to-5V-10A-Converter-Step-Down-Regulator-Module-50W-/261322520291?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd80936e3 http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/83-15446?scode=GS401&CAWELAID=530004080000121100&catargetid=1606964484&cadevice=c&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CJCa-4bS-bwCFUVo7AodpDEAOA 2009 Nissan Maxima SV Super Black KH3 Hardwired Beltronics 955 Radar Pioneer DEH-M9400BH with Stock Bose Speakers Custom fiberglass HVAC display Nexus 7 Tablet w/ Custom Fiberglassed Magnet dock KnuKonceptz Big 3 and wiring 2 Alpine Type E 10's with Alpine MRP-M500 Build Log HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 There's an HDMI Adapter for the note, I already have it, and the converter I already have. Everything works, I've tested it, I just need to power it in the car. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yeah that's one of the reasons I got it was cause of the HD radio, but with the tablet I can get digital radio online.

RossGo Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Like I said, that was for iPad, and that was what I read, not personal testing. Sounds like you have the expensive parts already in order. Tablet only is still a cool idea. I don't like adding a unit that's pass through only. Seems pointless Yes I have a lot of stereo weight.
