chinese radios

Post by piglet »

Bit off topic, sorry, but there might be an audio geek in the over 50's club (unlikely to be fair)
Against my advice the boy bought a Chinese double din radio off Ebay.
After a bit of jiggery pokery it essentially works but seems to have 1 major flaw (just one?)
instead of having 4xphono output sockets for the 4 speaker drives to the remote amp it only has 2, Left & Right.

Get what you pay for obviously but any knowlege here?

No knowledge, other than having inserted and removed various radios. ( God bless ISO connectors )

In his position I'd take the hit, and sell it on, on eBay.
If it's one of those £40 - £50 jobbies, he'll probably get £30 'ish for it.

I'd make sure I spelt out that it's for 2 speakers. My first thought was that someone
with an older roadster/sports car might be interested.

Is this getting like the Not the nine O-clock news sketch in the Hifi shop?

Re the 2 seater sports car thing, irony is that's what it's going into, sadly though the car has all singing & dancing (pun) active 4ch from factory.
Going to try a pair of phono plug splitters, might work.
