your wasting your money on type x alpine are over rated they say they can take 110 rsm but they cant even take 70 at times

anyone confirm or deny if the FG Icc has Aux input on the base models? (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?

[PLAYRZ]

The aux input has nothing to do with how mine is setup. I used a line convertor, picked up the signal from the ICC and feed that into a processor. Like this...

So to clarify, mine goes from factory ICC speaker wire > line convertor (RCA out) > processor (RCA in/out) > amp (RCA in) > upgraded speaker wire > speakers = sound

Simple

noted. (thought you had the set up from the posted picture)

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 ?

[Upinder]

if u get the new alpine procsser u wont need level convters as the factroy speaker go right into them if that makes sence

I spent about half an hour today fiddling with my amps and input gains etc and managed to reduce the hiss a because the amps are quite powerful but it's still there. If the guys at the car audio place can't fix it without adding a processor then I'll just replace my converter for a cheaper one and live with what it is because I only notice it listening to the radio quietly, once the iphone's in and its pumping its crystal clear.
