Tablet Ran of EQ

[Pasta Prime]

I understand that shoving a head unit out of sight is a cheap way to use your tablet as a head unit but I have felt its just the wrong way to do it. Lol is there another module out there to run a Bluetooth signal straight to the amps?

[SMZ2]

and honestly a cheap way to do it is just get a single din receiver that has bluetooth built in and has all the pre amps you need and then just hide it in the glove box or under a seat and just control it with your tablet or phone. bluetooth receivers are getting pretty dang inexpensive now. the you will still have am/fm if you ever wanted it.

This is what I thought about doing... any suggestions?

Get a paclc1 and use that as your volume knob and never use the eq knob

Yes but what if I want to run multiple amps?

I would do what noelito said and use a paclc1 and just install it before the eq that way your eq can be set where it needs to be and you'll still have the multiple outputs of the eq there's some adapter available at radioshack that are m-m RCA and granted the sound quality will go down doing it 3.5-RCA it sounds over all cheaper

keep us posted

Oh that makes more sense. Is there and eq you would suggest? Also could you provide a link to this adapter please? I really would like to do this but I really don't want to sacrifice sound quality... Thanks for the help!

amazon has them from like $14

sonicelectronix has it for $17

after that every link on google (from what I could tell) the price is upwards of $18

as far as an eq I would suggest I couldn't tell you without knowing how much control you're wanting I've seen basic 3 and 4 bands to 7 bands to 10 bands etc. I think even though it's limited the cheapest is a 4 band I saw not to long ago and was a decent brand

you might be able to get better oppinions on eqs from the other guys here as they probably know more about them although from what I do know clarion is a really good brand

The 4 band I mentioned

also nice looking clarion eq with 7 bands

Just a couple (I always check (in this order ) amazon, sonic, eBay)

just look around find what suits your needs and when you find one ask people everything you can think of about it that's basically what I do

ok here is an idea i played with for while. audio control makes some good units that have two channel input (could be headphone to rca) and also the three.2 has front and rear headphone inputs. these units are dash mounted and have volume control built in to the unit. could be simple all in one and still give you a decent eq set up. they have a lot of other options on their website also.

So the the sound quality would be better through bluetooth correct? I may just get a cheap headunit and hide it away or build a cubby for it under the tab. Then I could find a way to make the tab a float mount...

[brad4021]

i think bluetooth is going to be your best option for sq with anything that does not hard connect like an iPad. definitely better then headphone jack hook up

[SMZ2]

Would something like this work instead of 3.5 to av for better sq? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BQ51FQ6

I'm also kind of curious if something like this would allow my double din to display the androids screen.
