chewy Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Okay.... so i've been told that if i want full 7.1 decoding that they don't make a good headunit that does it however signal processors in a combo i'm told will do it. I'm curious if anyone has anythoughts on running a creative labs card or similar in a micro computer, if i would recieve better results.... ?? -chewy www.GatelyAudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 nope i havent seen 7.1 in a car yet.... hey where are you going to put the all the speakers? Hopefully this will be in an SUV because IMO anthing over 5.1 in a small space gets tricky J.

Guest MegaloManiac Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 meh surround sound in a car is unnecessary IMO. Do you really sit in your car and watch a movie? If you do watch a movie in the car I bet its only because you are waiting for something/someone. Consider Creative sound cards as "main-stream". They are good but better can be found. With a carputer tuning capabilities in the future will be endless. bu as of right now there isnt an all-in-one unit to do the job. I've seen a lot of people using the H701 combo while using carputer, mainly because of the 4 way and optical audio input I have a carputer myself. currently its down due to me buying a cheap lcd. but it was great. Although i desperately needed a new soundcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 lol ya surround sound has been a damn pain and i havent even got it close to done... but fuck it if thats what you want go for it (i am)... hey megalo have you seen a card with 6 rca outs for 5.1? Ive been reading alot on mp3car so im not as noob as i used to be but still quite bad J.

Guest MegaloManiac Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 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.

emperorjj1 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 what the hell is a dac? i have 2 360.2 processors and theres no digital inputs on those (otherwise this would be easy) J.

emperorjj1 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 i searched for one on google and didnt find much of anything (for audio at least) do you have a idea of where i could get one or a brand name or somethin... im using the 360.2 processors so a straight up digital input is a no no J.

Guest MegaloManiac Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Wellfor the car, either you find a dac with an digital input and convert to analog or use the one where it sends the signal via usb and converts to analog. http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_c...01&area=usa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 i wanted the surround sound is for 5.1 mixes and the higher end uk house with 3d/spacial mixing in it :-) ... hence the lower end JVC KD-ADV5380 that has no screen on it that i'll probably never hook up to one but it still reads dvds :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
