Amazingly cheap ipod head unit...

Just fitted one of these in my girlfriends car....

http://www.asda-electricals.co.uk/sh...html?&ird=1419

Only £30 quid, and it seems pretty decent so far.

Has a ipod cable that comes out the back, which i wired through to the glovebox.

Controls and charges the ipod

Think i might get one for myself!

2 x 20W i havent seen head units producing that sort of power in a long long time. 4 x 50 W is pretty much standard. cheap headunits produces 4 x 40W

I guess it does what it says it does. not to exceptional standard or sq but works and for £30 is pretty good!

Hmmm it says 4x40 in the manual (i didnt actually get it off the site, got it in store)

It seems to go rather loud though

It got ant preouts. Perhaps the 20w is a really bad Adsa trainee working out of Rms (I know how to do that just half it)
It would probably cost more to make a Hu with 20w outputs now days because there arent any around so more money would have to be put into developing it rather than using the crapest 40w one that they have lying around in abundance.

you dont half it!

you cant calculate the RMS output from the max or peak or pmpo output. the RMS output can only be determined using the voltage and efficiency of the amp and impedance of the speaker.
RMS = (voltage*0.707*efficiency)/ohms
