Kenwood HU + remote + empeg = ? - 30/01/2002 21:07
Hi All,
I just recieved my empeg in the fire sale, and as a result do not have a tuner ( and will not pay $300 on eBay ). So I purchased a new Kenwood x817 head unit to serve as a tuner....I'd rather have only the empeg, but I listen to the radio a lot in the car, so I need one.
My question is, how will the remote(s) function with both units installed? As I understand it, the empeg will recieve signals from the Kenwood remote, and the remote that came with the empeg is inherently a Kenwood unit. Is this a moot point since one unit will just be getting piped into the AUX-IN of the other, so even if both volumes are being changed, only the amplified unit will be affected?
Also, the Kenwood head unit is still unopened, so I can return it and get something else if you folks think that's a better idea. I had originally planned on hooking it up to a legacy cd-changer, but have changed my mind on that idea.
TIA,
Will
