sanzgod 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2012 Hello Guys, I know how funny or rather stupid my question is, but let me ask it. I am planning to ICE my i10 magna and have few quotes from the audio shoppes. - Pioneer 2-Din HU + JBL/Infinity Component speakers in front & rear doors. During a family outing my little cousin(6yrs old) asked me; why cant i connect TAB to car speakers? Is there a way to connect Tab with speakers, without having any HU? I have a Samsung Tab, which im nt using it very regularly, so thinking if i can do something abt it. Any comments or suggestions for the setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creativebala 178 Report post Posted July 25, 2012 You can replace a HU with an Amp. Once its done, you can connect Components with one set of channel and other channel can be bridged and could be connected to a Sub woofer. The main disadvantage could be lack of FM. Instead of this, you can buy HU without CD drive and can use its aux. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted July 26, 2012 Just get a cheap USB/AUX music system like JBL 333 (around 3k) and just aux in your tab and you are good to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanzgod 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2012 thank you creativebala & rssh. but i cannot fix Tab in place of 2-Din dash if i get any HU even 1-din. So is there a way i can directly mount Tab and connect speakers to it? i was going through youtube & found few videos. however i am not knowledgeable enough to do it on my own. ill check with few audio shoppes this weekend, lets see if smeone can try it for me. more suggestions are always welcomed. ..

CarCrazyASTL 16 Report post Posted July 26, 2012 Just buy an normal amplifire or car mp3 player with FM, USB & AUx input! then buy a AUX-AUX cable, mount your tab & Connect it & you are ready to use your tab with component speakers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sstar 77 Report post Posted July 26, 2012 see the best possible way would be to go for a cheap yet good quality ICE like JBL 333 and plug the Tab using a Aux cable. As far as mounting is concerned, you need to install a stand/case similar to a one which comes with a car navigation decive and mount your tab on to it.

dr_nishu 198 Report post Posted July 27, 2012 An Amplifier is necessary to connect the Tab to the speakers, else Tab(or small/pocket entertainment units) don't have much output to drive a large speakers. They're enough for Earphones only. You can use Amplifier by any means, be it a HU, Car Amp or PC Speakers Amp. But don't use Tab to Speakers as such.

Car steros with Aux-In do works as an amplifier for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanzgod 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2012 thanks for all your comments & suggestions guys.. Please note that i want to avoid HU & put Tab in the place of HU (i still need to figure-out a way to do it) as i understand correctly... i must have an AMP to give the necessary power boost to the Speakers from Tab. ok, so with the below configuration 1. Tab 2. JBL/Infinity Component speakers on 4 doors (any other suggestions) 3. Pioneer/JBL AMP 4-channel (any other suggestions) Am i good to go? Can someone suggest price for the above configuration other than TAB I need to approach some Car Audio guys over this or next couple of weekends. Hope they can fit it. Thanks again!
