Are the 6stackers compatible with normal cd players....

Hey all.

Found out my CD player is rooted, mainly due to running an amp and sub off the stock cd player. I have been hunting round for anotehr one, mazda wreckers would give me one for $350 and mazda would take $550 for a brand newy. I had a look at teh head unit itself, and have come to the conclusion that just the radio unit has died, as the stacker looks to be in still working order. I got thinking, the normal astinas have the single cd unit, i was wondering if u could transfer teh stacker unit onto the single cd unit... would anyone know if this would/could work. im only changing the cd unit, not the fm unit if that makes sense ( it unbolts from the main unit)

If this could be done, how much do u think i could pick up a single cd player unit for?

maybe just changing the radio part into your stacker one. if not jsut save yourself the hassle and go out and but an aftermarket unit?

PS - come on the xmas cruise

I'd really like to know how running an amp screwed it!! Unless you modifed the unit for a line level output.

i did... bloody things, so im taking out the sub and amp and just running the speakers like usual now, ill just put some better ones in so im happy. does anyone know if i can do what i wanna do and get a normal cd player unit and put my stacker onto it?

I believe that the 6 stacker unit is totally different from the single unit. In mine (BJII-J48) the 6 stacker/radio appears to be the main unit and the only bolt-ins/module is for adding a tape/md unit.

when u pull the whole unit out it is, but i unscrewed the 4 pink screws and with some lever action, the stacker came unattached from the main unit. I Have an sp20 aswell so i'd have the same head unit as u... there is a sticker of how to unscrew it on the top of the unit itself.

Might be possible I guess, my memory on this is a little vague but I thought the single CD looked totally different, which is why I was thinking it was unlikely to be a bolt in module....
