| | | 8 track amplification???? | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 99 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 99 | How do u get from a 8 track player into an amp???? I have a Orion amplifier with the "smart" connection that will power the amp/kill it when there is not a signal from the head unit. Most other head units have the "head" (I think) line out and that is what is supposed to be routed to the amp. Well...there is no "head" line out of the player, so what can I do???? Trying to keep it 70s in the van, but if not anyone want to buy a 8 track player?

It has the 8 pin "smart" connection, so the amp will power up when the radio is on. Not sure what to do; isnt there a way I could splice something up to make it work? Are there adaptors of some sort to be able to route it through?
@Suzie-BGfNY-IN: I do need tapes!!!! Assuming I can actually use the player.

Maybe the connector on 8 track and amp. Should be able to help.
When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?

Its the same thing as putting an amp to a factory head unit.
