Pentux 1st Gear July 1, 2010 Share July 1, 2010 hi all, i am driving kia sorento and wonder whether the original amp they provided us able to install with aftermarket HU. i do not wish to spend money on additional amp n woofer. is it true some cars have their own connectors that will not fit aftermarket brands n thus need to bypass the amp n connect the speakers to HU? talked to 1 of the staff and told me if different then need to bypass. i do not wish to be smoked as i cant even see how my amp looks like. it will be a waste if my original small woofer in the car also cannot use if i chg the HU ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha78 6th Gear July 1, 2010 Share July 1, 2010 If it's factory installed I think the connectors are proprietory, not RCA cables. I drive an EX with the "Rockford Fosgate" system, all connectors are proprietory, had a headache re-wiring the head unit to a new amp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha78 6th Gear July 1, 2010 Share July 1, 2010 After I changed new amp and speakers, powered by factory head unit, I can hear this slight buzzing sound that seems to correspond to the CD spinning, not present in the factory setup. But of course the sound quality improved leaps and bounds. Now I'm just resisting the itch to change my head unit. ICE is a slippery slope, you keep throwing money into the black hole to improve the experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonqcm Neutral Newbie September 24, 2010 Share September 24, 2010 I think you can add a gadget to suppress this noise, can check with any ICE installer., they should be able to help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with the installer. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
