Posted July 2, 200520 yr sometime in the future i will be putting one hell of a ocmputer in my truck for MP3 sotrage only. there are 2 ins. Min and Line Level (same voltages as RCA) in. From what ive been hearing sometimes the impeadance of the line in is too low for most RCA ins. this causes a lot of distortion with the singal. However for my RCA's for hte moment i will probably end up getting one of thoes peaker level to line level converters untill Xmas when i can get a good 2din HU...lol i am so cheap.so my question is, because my head unit i used to seeing a 4ohm impeadance and the line level in is of s much higher impeadance will i have to worry about any distortion at all? im setting my gains for full output to be at half volume on the HU (to prevent too much HU amp distortion). because of this i may have to boost the output with the soundcard....ya i know...great idea
July 2, 200520 yr I actually have my computer hooked up to a HT reciver VIA a RCA to 3.5MM mini plug connected to my soundcard.
July 2, 200520 yr Author i know LOC's suck but they dont put too much distortion in the line. it is just a series of resistors with one variable resistor for the "gain" to set the line voltage.
