Well it's in and almost fully integrated.

After buying so many new toys lately I am not able to afford a new amplifier for my empeg so I had to install it as a second head unit in my CR-V.

As an added bonus (NOT!!!) the first head unit, with built in amplifier, lacks an AUX input. So right now I have my empeg sort of installed.

I took the empegs front outputs and hooked up a set of RCA cables to them. Then I took an RCA to mini (1/8") jack adapter and plugged that into a coupler with mini-jacks on both sides. Next I plugged in a cassette adapter to the coupler and popped it into my Pioneer headunit. Voila, empeg on a tape!

It looks pretty good though, only problem is that the pioneer trim would not fit around the face with the empeg installed. That will be battled soon though with the use of an Exacto Knife, metal ruler and a hard flexible binder cover. (thanks for that tip guys!)

Anyways here is the link to the information on my install, along with a bunch of pics.

Enjoy and comments are welcome.

P.S. Two options I have for getting the sound into the Pioneer would be with an IP bus adapter that Pioneer makes or a sound feeder which works over radio waves. The Pioneer option that would allow use of my CD-Changer (when the empeg is in my other car) will cost me about $120 (Canadian) while the Sound Feeder will cost $40. Here's the questions: How do I make a 12V to 3V adapter to hardwire the soundfeeder into my car (it takes 2 AAA batteries)? And how good do these things work when they are inside the dash while the cars antenna is outside the vehicle?
