Alpine Head unit dilema

I i have an old Alpine 7873-R head unit behind the sofa from my old car and i cant make my mind up wether to put it in the octy or not

It is only a cd/radio want somthing with mp3 playback but funds dont permit at the moment

standard system seems a bit ..... :toilet:

front speakers distort a bit so i thought i could turn the bass off on the speakers and shove my amp/sub in to bring the bass

Can i get th alpine AI-Net to interface with the standard skoda changer?

seen things to use a standard hu with an alpine changer but not the other way round

The hu needs a separate feed from the battery for some reason

is a pain to do in the octy or is it not that nessisary

Argh i wish i could make my mind up wether to bother or not

i miss my old Car computer :weeping: but cant be arsed to do it all again
