GutlessSupreme Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'm desperately needing a cd player in my car. But, I'm way too poor to do so at the moment. The car kit for my player sounds like shit anyway, but it's especially bad in the Olds. I'm thinkin. I get a headphone plug>stereo plug adapter (like on the back of VCRs..)... I install some stereo plugs in my pop-out ashtray in my dash (not like I use it.. I don't smoke). Get a line in switch to switch between the plugs and the car radio. wire the output right into the speaker wires (I'd lose front/rear fade, no biggy). Plug the cd player into the plugs in my ashtray and flip a switch. Should work out fine. Will it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutlessSupreme Posted March 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 if you're talking about wiring a portable cd player in there like say a discman it won't work...you'll need something to amplify it Fuck. What could I use? I don't know jack shit about audio stuff. I'll sell you my CD deck with remote pretty damn cheap, works perfectly...lmk I'd be intrested but I'm looking for one that plays MP3 discs. That's what my discman is now.. good 180 songs or so per cd. Once you try it there's no going back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornerdealy Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 if you have a cassette deck in your can, just get one of those cassette adapters and hook up your discman to it. That's what I did before I got my cd deck. Sure the quality isn't the greatest, but it does let you play cds in your car for about 9 bucks.

godofthunder Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 yeah, because of you assh*le. No. I am getting rid of the cutlass. The regal has everything I want on the cutlass, and them some. I wont be loosing any options either. I really hit the point with the 2 4-doors. I will kinow at the end of this month the final details about the regal. If for some reason they do not sell (very doibtfull), then ill still sell the cutlass and get something. Not that the cutlass has problems, im just ready for something more. That, and the cutlass was gong to be a beater. A damn exp. one too...valued arround 3.5-4k. Why not sell it, get that money, and buy a real beater? I mean, i dont hve payments on the cutlass...but id rather make a few $$ towards the regal at the time. Im going to hold off on the thought of owning two cars till winter, at least. I wanan see what im paying for this regal, and how im doing. Some poss. ideas after it are a small truck, full size chevy truck, or a g body, or an early w. jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broan Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 He also said that he doesn't know anything about car audio... Another option would be to look on ebay for a cheap HU with a line-in, there should be some around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutlessSupreme Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 if you have a cassette deck in your can Ooooohhhhh, thats gotta hurt. Yea, it does As I've already said, I have a car kit (the cassette thing) and it sounds just plain horrible. I was looking at those FM transmitters too.. I'm still flat broke though. Like in debt to my mom $70 for the last junkyard run I made and no gas money for the next week. I was just hoping for a cheap 10 buck solution. pffff. right. Thanks for the help though guys.

Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Wal-Mart sells a 10 disc cd/mp3 changer thats RF modulated for 104 bucks. If that aint cheap enuf. dont know what to tell you. If you dont want the CD changer, Best Buy sells a deck made by DUAL that also is a cd/mp3 player. Last I saw it, was 100 bucks. I like the 10 disc changer personally. Nice little control module that lets you fast foward and all that other stuff. Displays the name of the song on the display as well. Kinda cool, and really nicely priced.

GutlessSupreme Posted March 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Got my portable cd player working right with the car hit. Accidently hit the volume button in while I was fucking with it and it changed the direction the tape was playing, and damn it suddenly got loud :shock: (had to turn the volume all the way to hear it AT ALL the other way). so, it works now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
