I am looking for some info from those knowledgable about old school Alpine- and I mean late 80's - early 90's old school. I have a 7618 HU, and probably will run a 3321 EQ with it. I am interested in the 3681 kinda, would it run after the 3321? What's the diff betwen it and 3900? Mainly, I am tryin to figure out if there is a way to run an adaptor and feed mp3's through the HU. I see ai-net to m-bus adapters, but I think that will not allow a direct connection since the 7618 is not versatile-link. The info I have researched indicates that a changer has to be plugged in for the RCA's to actually see signal.
I am looking for a changer (5959/5952s/5957) that would work with this HU and no 4913 adaptor (those are like hen's teeth apparently). But ideally I would like to plug into my android smartphone and feed mp3 from it into the system. Kinda like the idea of a 7903 type cd player in unison with the 7618 too. Back in the day I remember a few two HU setups with Alpine cd HU and tape HU along with alpine EQ - they were sweet.
Now, I am putting together an old school setup in my 91 Z28 - similar to what I had back then. It's still good equipment, and will most likely use some period Alpine amps too. Only real non-old-school stuff will be speakers. Would also love to find a 3318 EQ - if anybody knows what those looked like.
Anybody have any of this stuff that you don't need - let me know. Anybody have some constructive knowledge and help with these ideas - let me know.
