1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Ever since my HU went screwey, I've decided to build my own carputer instead of using my old laptop. Before I start, I was wondering if there were any sound cards that had high enough quality outputs that I could run the amplifiers off of their output rather than the HU? If it helps, I was thinking of going with this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811144232 I want that one because the color matches the interior of my truck.

1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 BRB, I'll find something badass for youNever used this card, but for clarity, this should be the cats ass ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductRevie...N82E16829132005 ) It is PCIe, so I hope your using a newer type motherboard **EDIT** also this one ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16829132010 ) Ouch! Those cards are high. Let's put it this way, my per month budget is about the same as those cards. Do you have anything a bit lower? i got 2 if you want one i got a soundblaster 5.1 surround sound with the drive bay and remote and an audigy 2 7.1 surround sound with built in firewall and if you want i'll trade for some stereo stuff Do you think the 5.1 would be good enough for my system? I'm could probably run the mids and subs off the same channel as long as I use seperate amps. If so, how much do you want for the 5.1? I don't have anything worth trading. And I'm about to blow my money this weekend on MDF and glass, so I won't be able to buy right away.

Syko DJ Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) the 5.1 should be fine i have it hooked in my computer now but the motherboard crapped out but i'm looking for 75+shipping or best offer thats a great deal on what it is though you can control all the audio functions via the remote and you can hook some stuff up to the drive bay if you had some 0 gage though i would just charge shipping or if you had something willing to trade thats about the same price the 7.1 i'm only asking 50 for +shipping Edited August 14, 2009 by Syko DJ Quote For beats Click Here Head Unit- power acoustik 8" touchscreen doors-RE 57 fr sub - sundown audio e8 amp-PG v752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syko DJ Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 both are for pc and honestly i dont know off the top of my head the slot type but they both are really good sound cards especially for being acouple of years old really its just what you need them for for just listening to tunes i'd say go with the 7.1 with the firewall it sounds great and it doesnt take up any drive bay space Quote For beats Click Here Head Unit- power acoustik 8" touchscreen doors-RE 57 fr sub - sundown audio e8 amp-PG v752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
