I have i trunk mounted dvd, mp3 player and it sounds great when i'm watchin a movie but the mp3s sounds distorted some times cuz the levels are too high for my HU. HU doesnt allow me to adjust the input level, player has no volume control... what can i connect between the audio out from player and HU input to control the volume level? A lil help please....

 

i don't know much about this maybe a cross over or an EQ maybe???? i might be really really wrong sorry if i can't help.....

 

Could be the quality of the disc and or player decoding MP3 cds

 

what did you use to hook up a MP3 to your HU?

 

do the MP3s sound ok on your computer? if not, it could be in the encoding

 

There are many ways to lower the output level of the MP3 player. But I doubt that is the problem. Sounds more like they were recorded with the gain set too high.

 

the mp3s sound good on the computer, i used an regular rca plug to connect to HU , it has an input so it was easy to connect... not sure if i can adjust the mp3 level b4 recording but i'll give it a shot. Jmax what else could i try to lower the levels?

 

You could use one of the items below. Or you could make one yourself. You could also simply use a potentiometer but would want to make sure that your MP3 player could handle the impedance the pot would present. Check the autosound2000 tech briefs (www.autosound2000.com ) if you want to know how to construct your own. Or get a little booklet from radio shack.
