Audio Genius question?

Audio Genius question?

I wanted to know if this is possible: To hook up a microphone to a head unit, kind of like a karaoke?
Thanks..

If you have an auxiliary input on your deck, it should be possible, just hook it into the auxiliary input on the deck. The only problem with this is that you would only be able to use the mic alone and would not be able to listen to the music. Another option using the AUX input would be to take the front or rear RCA outputs on the deck and hook them up to the AUX input. They make RCA cables that have a male and a female end on the same plug so that you can put another set of RCA's into them when they are plugged in. In this example, you would take a pair of these RCA cables with the male and female head combo on one end and plug that end into your auxiliary input on the deck. Plug in the other male end into the front output RCA jack on the deck. Then take the RCA's for your mic and plug them into the female part of the cable that is going into your AUX input. This should allow you to listen to and sing along to music.

You could also use some sort of RF modulator but that would allow you to only use the mic as well unless you had another source that used an RF modulator and you tuned them to the same frequency.

If you are using an amp to power your speakers, you can also use a switching box to plug in your output from your deck to your amp and your mic into and then have the output from the swithing box go to your amp. If you keep the switchin box where you can reach it, you would be able to turn the music and the mic on/off anytime, have them both on at the same time, or have them on separately.

Actually this would be a cool mod, kind of like a mobile DJ, but in order to do it properly what you would need is a 2 channel mixer. I bet you can wire it to the front speakers only, and plug in whatever you want into it including your mic. The cool thing is that you would be able to get to control the volumes of inputs, and play with it a lot. I guess if you found a small one you could mount it underneath you armrest or in the glove box. I guess it is something to think about.

I think radio shack has small mixers. or do ebay.
