Works like a champ... I put it back in the car while I tried to find out how to wire my pre-outs based on what i found inside... turns out i cant get datasheets for the chips i need because they are protected by NDA... so for the time being i've given up...
Well I found some time to trace the circuit from the power amp backwards but have found that I can not find a signal that revolves around 0 volts. Signal voltage rides on a 1.34 volt line and outputs less than .5 volt... It would be to much work to implement a switching power supply and circuitry to get this signal amp useable. Just thought I'd let everyone know.
Thanks for the info boss. You obviously know a lot about circuitry.. So I'm going to invest in a Clarion NX501 as suggested by some of the guys on a post I made today. I was really hoping to find a good way to recycle that unit but thank you for this info!
Yeah I was really hoping to keep the stock but I might also be looking to clarion for a nice replacement unit... Just have to talk the wife into it... Might take a lot of talking.
Well I've got a few burr brown chips headed my way fingers crossed it will turn out a pretty sweet factory head unit until I can one day throw down for a nice nav unit.
