kingsuv Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 you wont find a soundcard with analog outputs like that. if you plan to use a carputer than digital output is what you'll find best. you will need a good DAC though or find a processor with a digital input, such as the alpine h701. and i still feel 5.1 is completely unnecessary in the car. I wouldn't be so sure about that. It is nice to watch movies along those long road trips. I think you won't be dissapointed in the H701. I also doubt you will miss the extra 2 channels of the 7.1 format. Even in my truck where I have plenty of room to set my surround sound stage to whatever I want The 5.1 fills the truck real nice. Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just me though. Tuning is very hard for a 5.1 setup. I dont see how it would work out that great. with reflection and cross axis responses. comes down to one question Do you really need the rear channel of audio for surround, when watching a movie, most of the emphasis is on the front stage anyways. If a person doesnt have a great frontstage(right now) what makes them think they can do 5.1(while maintaining SQ)? It requires a lot of skill & experience. An HT in a house is completely different from an HT in a vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An HT in a house is completely different from an HT in a vehicle. You are 100% correct. It can be done, and sound wonderful when setup right. I find myself enjoying my HT setup in my truck just as much if not more then my home setup. now on the car rental thing, look around, some will rent to you at 18 Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I never really looked into it but after reading a lil about it it seems pretty similar to the RF 360.2 except it has 5.1 built in vs the 360 doesnt and the 360 has bluetooth and the alpine doesnt J.

I never really looked into it but after reading a lil about it it seems pretty similar to the RF 360.2 except it has 5.1 built in vs the 360 doesnt and the 360 has bluetooth and the alpine doesnt 1st off it's an ease of integration with my current system with the Ai-Net. Next the fiber optical inputs are a nice feature. I have all 3 of mine used. The 360 is 31 band for the front 2 channel and 27 channel for the rest with a 10 channel for the sub, the 701 is an 8 channel with 31 bands for each channel Lastly, The 701 is a true Dolby Digital / DTS system. You could use the 360 in a 5.1 setup, however you would still need a decoder before the processor. I did like the idea of syncing up my PDA with the 360 but didn't see much use for it once it's been in the truck awhile. I don't always have the PDA with me and would make adjustments difficult without it Designing, building, and shipping boxes.
