Jaz Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Audio Guru's, i need your input, have done some research but all i have found is people speculating and saying "I think"320Kps songs burnt onto a CD compared to 320kps songs playing from an Ipad (Gen 1) via Auxiliary cable qaulity?1 thing i did read that made a little sense was to run the ipad no more than 80-90% volume in case of distortion...thoughts? ♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxfiend Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 If your cd player is running rca (analogue output) it should be just as good from the Ipad, but as suggested make sure the output of the Ipad is not clipping.Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I probly should have put, Stock CD player in a Ve commodore or Ipad running aux to the same unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 you are playing the same audio files so not going to make much difference if any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxfiend Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Buy a processor! Ve stock = shit! And the aux input will still be outputting on the stock deck output. A dedicated processor will clean up your stock signal. And usually have ipod connection to charge aswell. All of this is irelavent if you aren't adding amps subs and better speakers. Stock system is very limited. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 That's what i was thinking, as long as it's a decent aux cord I thinkYeh I wanted to change the head unit but there is only 1 facia kit available and it's $799, and then I would have to buy a double din on top of that Yeh I've got a very high end audio system going in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxfiend Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Def get a processor! If you amplify a shit signal (even with the best amps and speakers) you get a loud shit signal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREMM1S Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Will depend on your burn and sync settings.If you burn at cd audio you will keep the quality same as 320kb if the original files are 320kb.Ipad aux would be the easiest though as opposed to burning cds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 VE is a bitch to work on stereo wise. Still working on mine. But I got a series 2 with iPod connectivity so a bit different in that it doesn't use the iPods amplifier. Want to know more about how to go about doing this stereo hit me up as I am pretty familiar with it now. Still got to build a sub box before the Gold Coast meet up.

Kodiak Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Have you had any engine noise issues?, that was our biggest headache when I worked at a stereo shop.Not really engine noise as such (alternator whine) more interference. I ran my speaker wires back along the passenger side next to the main power lines. About to pull the panels out and run wires all around the other side. I get a hiss/crackles on the front left speaker when the car is running. Without the car running it is fine. My gear is:JBL MS-8 processorJaycar 4x100 & 1x1000 ampsHertz HSK165 splits front running active from 4x100 amp5" Jaycar coax in the rear door2x10" Fahrenheit 4 ohm dual voice coil subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxfiend Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 We would run the speaker wires over the top of the pass door jam, also be carefull where you pick up your remote power feed for the amps, the power outlet in the centre console is ok, but you may get a turn on pop, and if your running a few amps you will need to put a relay on that feed. I can send yiu a diagram for that if needed. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 thanks guys, im going to burn a CD and use the ipod and see if i can hear the diff, god i hope not, because if the ipad sounds shit i will have to ditch itsystem wise im going 2 12" Kicker CompVT's slimline sub enclosures (still about 4 weeks away from hitting Aus though) running off a 900rms watt kicker mono block, JL audio CT2600 splits running off a 250rms watt kicker 2 channel, and mounting the ipad against the dash as a touchscreeneasiest way is to get kicker or amps with line level in conversion so you dont have to fuck around with RCA's on the stock stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxfiend Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Nice choice in equipment too! Jaycar amps are solid power and cheap bang for bucks! Although no car audio shop will admit it.I can start a car audio thread if anybody needs any help or tips????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although no car audio shop will admit it.I can start a car audio thread if anybody needs any help or tips?????My goal was to have a competition spec (SQ) system for minimal outlay (still about $2k there but pretty cheap for what I have). Plus it's a DIY system. Not that I will compete. I just like good sounding tunes. Make the thread. I'll be there. Been playing with car audio stuff since I had a car.

Kodiak Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I picked up my remote feed from behind the glove box is an unused plug I think is for reverse camera. No pops for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREMM1S Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Surely comp level systems are more aimed at volume instead of quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 yeh, its easy to make an system loud, it can be difficult to make it loud and sound good, ive found that if you go kicker for subs you cant go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREMM1S Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Yeah i like kicker subs, i personally dont see the interest in decibel races very much after quality, will most likely go splits depending on money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 JL audio also make a mean sub and amp but expensive, if you go to JB and check out the JL c2600 splits, unbelievable clarity, and the power they can take before distorting is ear splitting The very high end pioneer splits are good, aplines new R and S splits sound great at low volume but distort very early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
