My question is I still wanna use the ICC and have it wired into the speakers as well, is this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna use the ICC I'd suggest a sound processor such as a Rockford 3sixty or alpine pha660 I think it is. They sound very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look it up on you tube to get an idea of what it is and does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe too much for a ute though, this is what I was looking into and was gonna just amp the speakers from the headunit and run new wire to the speakers from the amp but retain the factory wire to the speakers maybe splice them into the new wire?http://alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
