Real quick need to know how wide and tall the empeg face plate is the God of radio installs thinks he can squese a empeg and a alpine headunit into my dash ? and I don't have an Empeg to measure ?

I am going to run the output from the empeg into the aux input on the alpine, do you think I would get better sound if I addedd a optical out from the empeg and ran that into the alpine or just use the rca's

2 3/16" x 7 5/16" (sorry, no metric measure was handy).

Probably depends on what's in the Alpine unit. You'd definately eliminate the risk for ground loop whine though - but proper wiring should handle that anyway. I'd try it with just the RCAs first and listen to the result, then evaluate...

My car gets forty rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!

Most likely the Alpine IVA-d901 or the IVA-d300
