Hello Gang,
My goal started out simple; I just wanted to play my Ipod in my car. Thanks to Luke Ball (thanks Luke!) I found out about Wayne Johnson, who converts 600 watt Sony amps to play on a 6v battery. Then, Wayne introduced me to the Alpine CD123 that not only allows me to play my Ipod but also Pandora on my Iphone! The CD123 allows me to fine tune my bass, midlevel & treble, and has a graphic equalizer, so I can adjust the sound to my personal taste.
Coupled with my other recently completed project, covering every square inch with a dynamat knock-off and foam, has resulted in rolling concert hall. :)
For those interested, here's the link Luke shared with me re: contacting Wayne - he's known for his work by VW enthusiasts:

Wayne held my hand throughout the entire process; a first class gentlemen.
Here's a link to the Alpine CD123:

Good luck!
