Hopefully this will not “Thump” the speakers. I believe the transition will be smooth is because of the timing. The audio will trigger the AUX. If the AUX was switched on before the audio there might be a thump. I can also adjust the volume from the iQue so that Bitching Betty (it nickname) does not yell at me.

Yes, interrupting my empeg listening experience will be disturbing. However I’d rather be interrupted than be lost. If I am in the city and have a turn every 30 seconds I probably won’t be “Jamin out” and will have the empeg at a reasonable volume. Highway cursing is where I can really get into the music and lose track of my exits.
