99 Wrangler Head unit options

Nope, thanks for the input but I am almost dead set on stock cd player. Looks like stock, vs a blank plate in the dash, which means there isnt a nice HU somewhere else. It plays burned cds(which can get stolen) and can hhok up an ipod. Now, onto the LOC/four.1. So soldering rca cables from the speaker output on the stock hu to the four.1 would work as a LOC? Would it be better to run a LOC witht he four.1? This would be better because then I would have my input and it would give me fader control(i dont think the LOC would if I used the front for the full amp and the rear for sub). Only thing I dont like about this is with this input i can only control the ipod from the ipod, with the other I can use the stock HU(negligable but still!). Also, since i take you sell these forbiden, do you know the difference between the four.1 an the four.1i? Because if it's mostly the same Ive been seeing four.1 on ebay four under $100. Thanks for your help everyone. Jared P.S. For everyone offering setup advice.... Here are my plans: Stock 2002-2005 mopar cd player. Some sort of LOC/controller. Old school rockford punch amp(amp(s) eventually) to power the highs(rockford 5.25 up front, rockford 6.5 components in soundbar) and then two rocford punch stage 1 10's in a downfiring in seat box powered by either a rockford 300.1 or an older rockford mono. Should sound good, no mudding tires on as this is my college car and will spend 95% of time on road and in town. That said stealth is the most important concern and I think this would be the best for both sound and stealth. For those of you saying to go stock hidden.... I dont want to have to open op my console or gb every time i want to change a song or cd, I'm too lazy! For the cost of a new HU the new stock w/ convertor will be about the same and perform similarly(i hope!).

Very nice, thanks for your answers. Would having LOCS though make it sound better with the 4.1?

Definitely not. All you would be doing is manipulating a already manipulted signal. Keep it simple. The 4.1 will better most outboard LOC's on the market today.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

You are awesome! Thanks again and Ill keep posting as I finally build it or have more question! Jared
