I have another question for all before I go out and purchace an Empeg / RioCar.

I know there is an issue with the riocar line level output (4v) and the monsoon input (12v). My question is if I use either a
PDC-LOC4 (http://www.pie.net/sec12sb4.htm) or PAC OEM-1 (or -2) (http://www.go2pac.com/products/oem2.html) will the riocar work?
I am going to be installing this in a New Beetle (unlike the Jetta / Golf, it is only a single din, cant piggyback it to the HU).
and I like the sound of the monsoon amp and speakers and dont want to have to replace them.
