Hi everyone,

This just crossed my mind today and thought Id see what people said. I have a little system set up in my van, kenwood deck, couple cheap subs 2 1000watt amps, pioneer 3 way speakers (4). I'm just wondering, what if i took the rcas with a Y splitter that could plug into the headphone jack on my laptop. Could I play sound in my car from my laptop being hooked up into the amp?
I duno, just want to hear what people have to say.

Thanks
Cya

you'd probably need a LOC to go inbetween the laptop and the amp, a better solution would be to use the AUX in on your HU, so you use your laptop as a source, then have your HU send the signal to the amps...

I connected my laptop's line out to the line in on my deck, although it worked, the only issue I had is the motor noise from the hard drive was picked up by my system.
Word of caution, don't be tempted to leave the laptop unattended in the car.

To make it work perfectly you should get a Digiport AG USB external sound card to eliminate noise. This is the same card used in high powered dj and club systems. And from personal experience works perfect.
