How is this the low level output connection upgrade differ from the Factory fitted premium sound setup?

Secondly you mentioned that once this upgrade was done, thier will be no sound emanating unless I provided the amplifer and speakers why is this? I am a bit confused?. I realise I have to provide the amplifer speaker etc but don't the front speakers run directly from the headunit (ICC)? or do they also have to go via the amplifer. Sorry for the multitude of questions I am totaly new to incar audio and setups.

Thirdly their is some conflicting statements on how many speakers the Factory fitted premium sound is supplied with- Just wondering if you know how many speakers Ford actually provide and thier locations?

Thanks

The main amplifier in the BA-BF and Territory's is connected via one plug. No RCA's just connections from the main harness to the AMP and this supplies a Subwoofer only. Our system differs by tapping a pure low-level signal from either 2, 4 or 5 including the Subwoofer into RCA's that can be connected to any amplifier. Not just the supplied factory one. We also tap a 12v trigger wire to power your amp so you don't have to connect your amps to the Acc line.

Once the upgrade has been done to isolate the low-level output we disconnect the output to the power IC's. If we don't do this you are basically halving the output to the amps. We can supply it connected inline but we don't recommend it. If you wish to keep the existing speakers the way they are we can tap a subwoofer output only.

Lastly, from the outputs on the ICC units there are 4 speaker outputs on the base setup and 5 including subwoofer on the premium.

Cheers
