The ICC amplifier is quite dirty but the line level signal that the ICC generates is a good flat signal. its only downfall is the low peak to peak output.its not too hard to modify the ICC to give you line level out.you can pay someone like ASL to do it for you or if your good with a soldering iron you can have a crack at it yourself as I have done.CheersTroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recomend against it unless you do what Shockf6 suggests, but if u tap into the rear speaker wires as I did the results are shocking. Their are different opinions though.... Save yourself the trouble and go out and buy a AudioControl LC6... Im getting mine installed soon and I picked it up for $240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sounds great. Give it a go, I am sure you will be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
