What wheels are on your T? Kinda look like the VZ Clubbie rims but charoal/black... Looks Sik though...BTW you got the BEST colour.... not being biased or anything....Oh and to answer your question, you cant just hook up new stuff to the ICC and amps etc it will sound like poo, as the signal the ICC gives off is too low and doesnt carry the sound as good (may not be the right terminology but meh)... I also have Premium sound, and have 2 12" subs, 2 amps and a cap running off the factory ICC using an AudioControl LC6i. Its a line level converter which is connected to the ICC and you plug your amps and subs etc into the LC6i. The LC6i just boosts the signal from the ICC...that's a rough explanation, just search LC6i and you'll get a more indepth explination im sure...Cheers Mike Edited 10/05/08 11:07 PM by MiKa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
