Fitted Drop down DVD to my Tranny but no audio??

Postby M4CKK » Mon Apr 05, 2010 7:56 pm

The unit has white and red audio output jacks. I cant see any internal speakers. I plugged some speakers into the jacks but could only hear really faint sound... Am I missing something obvious??

Thanks, Mack

I tried plugging the red and white connectors from the drop down unit to the transit stereo red and white jacks expecting some sound from the transit speakers... but nothing.

I'd prefer not to use the Transit speakers for this DVD player... its fitted for the kids in the back to watch.
It's looking more like I need an amp..

Probably cheaper and easier to get another stereo with inputs and fit it in the back with another couple of speakers :)
