slowly making progess..

I have a better power supply Tested everthing in the car, almost smoked the EQ I have since the Level control I have was marked backwards.. so al max Attenuation it was a short on the output of the EQ.. I also took it apart to find it is a Linear Pot, not Log.. I ordered some Log and Linear Pots, I am debating on doing a homebrew Vol/Bal controls and skipping the EQ, but then the Tuner will always be flat.. another option I thought of was getting a bluetooth transmitter ans ending the tuner signal to the bluetooth input of the Nexus, then I could eliminate the Level control..

More I think about it I think I will keep on my same path with at least a level control ( might do the balance as well) then possibly run the EQ (hidden in the glovebox if it fits)

the 2 knobs will go on the bezel to the right of the power key, I like the aluminum knob I got with the level control so I need to order another or find some on eBay.

I did find that it is LOUD, I had to turn the Amp Gains way down, which is a good thing I suppose

What speakers do you have?

Good job on the mount - cutouts for all the ports? What's USB version - 2.0? 3.0?. Any rubber affixed for vibration absorption?

Yes still fixed. Not as concerned since it will be in the cab and not direct sunlight as it would be on the dash. I am also looking to see if someone comes up with a power supply solution to replace the battery..

I would think you could remove the battery and run straight from the car battery. What does your plug in charger put out DC volt wise to the tablet?
