Short answer - Don't know - haven't seen anyone spliced the audio output from a HU before and use it on the EQS746

Having said that, there is an AUX input available on the EQS746, if you intend to directly plug-in a spliced HU audio output as you described above, I would suggest that you use the AUX input instead of the regular main input.

The AUX input has a manual gain adjustment, so use that option to properly set your gain.

hope that was helpful.

PS: A new Clarion HU w. all the bells & whistles will cost you just $180, why not upgrade

cheers

 

I want to keep the stock HU for a little while and my friend its in need of a LOC, so I was thinking to give him my LOC and run speaker lines right into the clarion.
I hadn't thought of using the aux. Thats a great idea and just might work well.
The new clarion HUs are nice and considered getting a 501, but I think I need TA so I'm mainly considering the JVC Arsenal unit for future upgrade.

 

If you look around here you can find the dxz785usb for 100-125ish dollars.
Don't know why you would want to keep the stock unit for a while, unless it's a money issue, which I understand.

 

You won't get TA on any JVC head unit, unless you already know of a model that has that feature.

 

The JVC KDA925BT has TA. I don't mind the stock HU. I wanted a stealth stock look and was looking to save cost on this build also since I have some home projects that need funding, but wanted to try TA in the future.

 

The JVC KDA925BT has TA.

I looked at the wrong web page and missed that. Thanks.

 

Yes the EQ could handle it, but as mentioned use the AUX in so you can adjust the gain/input.

I can't remember the steps of how to get a hold of a tech at Clarion, I have talked to one in the past, but that was some time ago. I did try about 6 months ago as well to no avail. I just can't remember the hoops I had to jump through to get to one.

 

Yes, but today is a national holiday in India......

 

I work for Clarion and here is the info for the tech line.

The Clarion consumer tech line is 800-347-8667 option 2. 7:00am-5:00pm pacific time M-F. And no we are not located in India.

 

Does FI have a website?

 

I just called clarion. Option 2 on the automated messages says its for authorized repair centers but the person that finally answered didn't have a problem helping me. He didn't seem too familiar with the eq but said the max input voltage for all inputs, including RCAs is 3V. However thats rms, so I wonder if running speaker inputs would still be ok since those only hit about 12Vrms at max volume. Also music power rms should be less than a sine wave rms so that should give some extra headroom, no?
Anyone care to comment?...particularly Jubal since your info would be most valuable seeing as you represent the product.
Thanks

 

That EQ is not designed to do what you are proposing so..... Go out and buy a good LOC and call it a day.

 

we've got a NX-501 having a small issue and we havent been able to talked a tech support yet or havent found a number anyway. We've been told theres only their repair centers......not to good if true......we need a technical support option as we were starting to move this line more and more but we may slow it down a bit if we cant get help. We'll try the mentioned number thanks
