Head unitless systems!

Who has this kind of set up?

I just wired up mine and I quite like it because I don't like the radio.

Basically what I have wired is iPod through an RCA into a 4 channel amp which I have my speakers wired up to.

The amp is nicely concealed under my passenger seat and the wires under the carpet, it also confuses car thieves who won't see a radio to steal.

Pics coming soon.

 

I have one of these which i gaffer tape to my bulkhead on long journey's

 

Never really thought about it tbh - can only see it being much use with an Ipod and the safety side of it you stated.

I like my 5-live on the way home tho...

 

Well you can fit an FM transmitter in somewhere which I'll probably do somewhere down the line, I got sick of the radio a while back though so I'm pretty happy with my system. I just need something to cover the damn hole in my dash. Might stick an old tape deck in and leave it unplugged or something.

 

you can get blanking plates probably discontinued from the main dealers though

 

Or I could just yank one out from the scrappy for a quid, whichever I can be bothered to first.

Thing is, I'd rather have a cubby hole.

 

I've had this for a while now, little amp in the glovebox running 2 mids, 2 6x9's and my sub. Fitted it after scumbags stole my TV, DVD, headunit, amp, sub (which they left down the street for me bless 'em), iPod, every CD I ever owned [:^(]... Amongst other things...

There's an extra foglight switch on the dash to switch it on and everything, stealth

 

Nice with the fog switch, mine's running so it's turned on when I turn the key.

How's the wiring done on your switch? I'm quite curious about running a switch aswell.

 

Remote to live with a foglight switch in it, easy.

Just a pain in the **** when I forget to switch it off overnight...

 

There is that. I'd like to have it on a switch but it still get killed off with the ignition, can't think how, would have to split the wire surely?

 

could you just run a buzzer like the guide on how to run a buzzer to go off if you leave the headlights/sidelights on a mk2 on.

wired from the interior light-coming off the fag lighter and the headlight loom.

 

Same thing but with an ignition live rather than a permanent live...

 

i had this set up in my camper wagon only downside i found was limited adjustability,
why not trtack down an original radio to fill the gap? it dont have to work

 

I've got a tape deck in the garage, I want the hole to be functional.

 

So whats the wire that goes from the ipod to the amp?

 

Same as this 99p on e-bay one?



And could I just use one of these tiny amps to power 2 x 13cm speakers?

 

1990, that set up will work yes.

I think I'm going to relocate my amp to somewhere that it won't be affected by things in the car like passengers. I need to build something that protects it.
