hey guys/gals,

i have done a stereo install on my old silvia with a new deck using rca elads to connect deck to amp, but my skyline came with a oldish deck(cd stacker) pre 1999 and it doesnt have any RCA plugs. My questain is how do i connect a simple 2 channel amp to that deck?soemthing about high input and low input?? ( i am still a noob stereo installer)

cheers for the help. the instructions of my amp arent very clear.

btw the amp is gonna be connected to a cheapy sub.

thanks

Yup, easy one.

This device:

http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...eMax=&SUBCATID=

takes the "high level output" of an amplifier (like the small one inside your headunit) and feeds out a "low level output" or "RCA" - a signal your new amp can use. If you put a high level output straight into the amp's low level input, you'll kill the amp.

The device from Jaycar needs no power, you just connect the four wires (which are labeled on the device) to the deck and presto.

i probably recommend you getting a new deck, the sound quality you get from the high level output is pretty ordinary compare to RCA's,

new cd decks these day are so cheap, theres a sale on strathfield/super cheap every 2nd week

recommend upgrading to a pioneer deck that plays mp3 cds, alot better than a cd stacker

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
