It's for my wife to watch while were driving. I hate talking.

 

Hi DBB888,

I live in So Calif, Seal Beach.
How much will you charge to install that unit in my 07 Rubicon?
I guess I would have to fly you here if you don't live in So Calif?

Thanks
Mike

 

Great write up,
if I understand this correctly, you have the factory 6-Disc head unit? You mention Sirius but is that just a mount you had? So this will work if you have the 6-Disc CD/DVD?

 

Hi Guys
Yeah I'm in NJ- wouldn't know what to charge-

Yes Its the factory head unit with dvd and sirius and 6 disc. If it says DVD on the bottom left corner your good to go. The mount was from a kit I bought for my other car.

I guess I'll have to drive my Rubicon to Jersey to have you install the unit?

Another question: are you able to play the DVD and also listen to the radio at the same time.

In other words, can the rear passengers watch the DVD with head phone and the driver listen to sirius or radio?

Thanks

If you make the trip- I'll do it for free

The head unit can only do one at a time- Just DVD or Just radio- you can load 6 DVD's !!

 

Hi Mike,
I actually heve the mygig on order, course it hasn't come in yet.

According to other threads and info, the mygig has a video out to a video screen which you can play both the radio and the DVD at the same time.

I guess I'll find out when it comes in.

My second choice would be to go with the mygig or 6 CD player and buy a seperate DVD player/monitor for the rear passengers.

Thanks again

Hey I'm in Jersey!
I'm still trying to figure out what audio configuration I would want when I get a JK. I've got plenty of time though, but it's fun to think about.

DBB888... you were an audio installer, right? How is the stock setup?

Not sure if I should bother with the factory stereo (CD, 6 disc DVD or MyGig) or go aftermarket.
I know that I want to add a small sub & probably a 4ch amp for the speakers.
I'm not sure if it's going to make a big difference with having rca pre amp outputs off of an aftermarket stereo or using the factory stereo and using speaker level inputs on the amp(s) or a line output converter.

What do you think...pre amp outputs, speaker level inputs or line output converter?

Rockford Fosgate has a device out that basically seems like an enhanced line output converter that has an eqalization curve, which might work well for the factory equalization settings that supposedly fade the rear soundbar speakers out.

Is there a way to adjust the factory equalizer settings?
Did you upgrade the factory speakers or do you plan to?

Thanks for any info

 

> How is the stock setup?

I learned to like it so far-

>What do you think...pre amp outputs, speaker level inputs or line output converter?

If I was to go aftermarket, there is no question that I would use Pre Amp outputs. Amps are the way to go. A 4 channel and sub amp and your rock-in or Booming.
Only if your really set on a factory look would I use the rest.

For now Im content with having a set up that is already paid for and getting the most out of it. Talk to me in a few months when summers around and see if I put a lot ofmy left over audio stuff in though. I have Sirius for free for one year though. Maybe after that I’ll change it.

Hmm- never heard of anyone trying this- It’s a thought though. I’m going to keep this in mind.



>Is there a way to adjust the factory equalizer settings?
Nope


>Did you upgrade the factory speakers or do you plan to?
Plan to – Definitely

I’m in Edison NJ so if your close and then next time I do a project, I’ll let you know.

I put and airhorn in today because I can’t stand the factory one. Only downside is, I lose the factory arm honk because the airhorn needs a second to pulse the relay and by that time its to late

 

I think I found the perfect ideal solution, I saw this a few weeks ago...haha
