Sound Systems

[Revved]

I have heard you can not change the sound system at all in an xr6T, is it true? I have put all my sound systems in my self, done lots of cars and never had a problem, well a small fire in the boot of the old car but beside that nothing!

The only definate is that you can't remove the ICC.

Couple of different options (from best quality to worst) -

- install a seperate head unit, hooked up to amps / speakers / subs

- get RCA outputs put on the factory head unit, hooked up to amps / speakers / subs

- put line level converters on the speaker outputs, hooked up to amps / speakers / subs

- change factory speakers / subs / tweeters

Do you have more info on how to install the RCAs to the factory premium ICC?

There's an rca lead (minus the plug) that runs to the sub amp in the boot. You need to slice on a new rca lead with a plug for the new amp.

I'm currently in the middle of doing this.

if you contact http://www.asllogistics.com they are the ones who convert the stock icc to run rca outputs and can even send you instructions on how to take out the icc because you have to send it to them to modify. Though in my opinion they still use the preamp in the conversion so its still not a true rca, just convienient. But you loose speaker outputs so everything has to run of the amp. Depends on how long you want to keep the car for.

funny, I asked at carsound shop. they said they can't replace the screen to colour screen with dvd player to play movies etc. they said they can only put a new audio/dvd player head n its going to take so much room.

I wonder what happens if you remove the ICC? I was told it won't start the car unless the ICC is in.

The ICC screen can be updated to colour so that you can hook up an external DVD player, but this is not cheap.

Visit www.asllogistics.com for further information.

The ICC controls audio as well as all the ventilation settings, so none of this will work if you remove it.

As far as starting the car, I see no problem with this, as long as you leave the BEM (located underneath the ICC) in place, as the BEM is what controls the security and body controls.

I would not attempt to remove the ICC.

there is a box at the bottom of the icc where 2 plugs plug into, that has 4 screws, u remove that from the icc, plug it back into the loom, and you can drive your car

What do you plan to use for the remote turn on for the amp, I'm stuck. dont really wanna run something from thr front if I can avoid it. Any help would be cool.

if you take the option I suggested above by contacting Asl logistics to have the icc modified, they can make the icc have a remote wire for the amps
