You have to run them straight to your amp.

[Defgeph]

you need to go buy an fm modulator. then you can pay the sound through the radio.

[pxcr440]

running to your amp well not work cause you will not have no way of controling volume , it wont work

[shid]

The easiest way is to have an aux input into your head unit- and you're gonna need to give us details on that- you're being too vague.

You could hook it up straight to the amp..

But, you'd need to have an AV switcher to manage the preouts from the Head unit, select wether you want head unit or PS2- and then you'd need to build a variable resister into the audio outs on the PS2- not that hard, did it for my neons, but you have to know how to solder, (excuse the sp, I've never learned how to spell that correctly), know what kind of resistence you need, and build a volume knob somewhere by the PS2 in your dash or something.

All in all, either Aux input, or fm modulator (although that'd be pretty crappy sound).

I'd go for a AUX input device if its available for your head unit

[Consynx]

if it's a head-unit there should be mulitple inputs for it
connecting it straight to that wil work, but solemtimes the sound quality is terrible. To fix that there's a better cord for sale at local Best Buys...just make sire the regular one doesn't work before you go buying things.

gotta go though an FM modulator, pick up the kenwood FM modulator from Best Buy

[playr158]

wow ok so i need a modulator?!?! can someone give me a link or something normally when it comes to this i'm pretty good at it, but i'm just confused?!?!
my head unit does have a punch of OUTPUTS for speakers but there is no INPUT to use, even though the stupid thing has an AUX. function for ps2/dvd stuff they didn't put an input terminal
and as for the run it to the amp, i'll take a look at that idea tomorrow, thanks for the help =)

If only Car audio can ridd the horrible Left n Right connection and enter the world of Fiber Optic.

Give us what model head unit you have, and we'll see if you can hook it up.

Modulators are subpar.

pioneer headunit 8500

[shid]

Not listed on pioneers website, you sure?

[Pali_playa]

and 8500 is last years model....its like this years DEH-9600MP

[playr158]

model number dehp8500mp, most similar to the 9600 as noted above

[Yobbe]

You need the Pioneer CD-RB20

http://www.sounddomain.com/shop/item.pl?sku=PIOCDRB20

Its a small device that plugs into your cd changer plug and lets you connect an aux device like a DVD Player or PS2

This will give you the ability to select the aux in as a source and get PS2 sound without doing any additional wiring

[playr158]

thanks dude that helps a ton, but ouch thats a pretty penny hmmm i'm goin to check out the fm modulator tomorrow then see what i can do

[shid]

If you want quality, the device Yobbe pointed out is the only real way.

[Pali_playa]

hte fm modulator cost 49-95...so its worth paying the extra $ for the quality
