PLAYRZ Donating Members 333 Member For: 20y 23d Gender: Male Location: VIC Posted 31/01/13 07:59 AM Share Posted 31/01/13 07:59 AM playrz what was your idea behind using the line level converter to Rca have you got the processor in the boot and wanted to run shielded rcas instead of the speaker wires ?The reason I ran the LLC into the processor is because although the processor has a built in convertor, I was getting far too much noise in the signal using this on its own, it was just amplifying the bad signal from the ICC (sh*t in = sh*t out). The glossy brochure would have you believe that the processor can removal all this.... didnt work for me in the FG. When I put the LLC inline with it I was able to get a cleaner signal (not 100%) but better than it was using the processor only. The processor then cleaned it up a little more and added EQ, time alignment, etc for the final signal to the amp. Is it perfect? No... but its a marked improvement over the factory system.If your not chasing things like EQ & time alignment you could skip the processor all together, you get a reasonable signal just from the LLC. If your anal and want audiophile sound quality dont waste your time with this sort of thing, just bypass the factory ICC all together and get a quality source unit. Trying to get a noise free signal from the Ford ICC is a waste of time and money IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie, no premium sound, no colour touch screen, no ipod cable)appears that's how yours is hooked up PLAYRZ? (though wouldnt that bring in the ICC whine again?) could you breigly explain how yours is confirgured?^^ agree, wouldnt it bring the whine again? how do you configure a head unit without using the aux in, that seems pointless as it would still be running the sh*tty icc signal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install the source unit, connect it via RCA to your amp, connect your speakers... vuala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
