Yes, their prices are definitely better. Thanks for the link. I had a chance to check this site's description and I think I understand. The 16 Pin will incorporate all of the radio's output, minus the 8 Pin subwoofer output. It sounds like you are saying that the crossover is in the radio, and not on the amp itself. Is that true? I would need an additional 8 Pin interface for the Parrot to transmit the lows that the crossover in the radio is outputting.

Forgive me, as I am as remedial as it gets when it comes to sound systems, but I absorb info pretty quickly. I appreciate your patience and guidance!

The 16 pin is the head unit aux input. 24 is speaker output (and power). 8 is sub.

Crossover is done in the head unit. If the parrot feeds the signal to the 16 pin, you should be fine, the head unit will treat it as an aux in and amplify and crossover the signal as necessary.

Thanks! I am starting to understand. The 24 Pin and 8 pin is the output. The 16 Pin is the Aux input, which would get replaced by the Parrot's inputs (USB, iPod, 3.5mm AUX).

I want the Parrot to interrupt the 24 Pin and the 8 Pin. The PT-3200 sounds like it incorporates the Subwoofer by integrating the 8 pin into the 24 pin (from their description). But I am concerned that it will only mute the source, not feed the Parrot's source into the Sub. If that is true, then I will have to figure out how to splice signal interrupters into the 8 Pin that will actually feed the Parrot's sound (from my bluetooth transmissions) into the subwoofer. But if I did this, I would probably need a crossover so I dont overload the amp and subwoofer. So now the question is, is there a small crossover that I can implement into that output from the Parrot (but obviously before the integration of the 8 pin from the radio)?

Look at the in line crossovers available on parts-express.com. You'll need to LOC the signal to take if from speaker level to RCA level for the sub as well.

djjr50, sorry to bring up an old thread, but I'm looking at doing the same thing you were trying to do with my 06 F-150 w/Audiophile. Did you end up getting it to work correctly and if so, what was the final solution?

djjr50

No, I abandoned this project in favor of just using the AUX input. I have a dock for my Samsung GS3. I do want an aftermarket radio but money has been diverted elsewhere for the time being.

No problem. Thanks for the reply!
