I was just looking at this radio and it has a feature called "Power IC Off" which is "When an external amplifier is connected and the built-in amplifier is not used, removing power from the built-in amplifier will improve the sound quality." Would that make the radio act if its the BOSE radio? what im tryin to say is the PAC or any hi/low level speaker converter is not need?

 

No. This will turn the internal amp off totally. Using the preouts to power the Bose amps would make the radio act like the Bose radio.

No adapters are needed anyway. Please read the stickies for more info. Car Audio FAQ, page 2, post by yours truly.

 

Thanks for the help and I only have a sub preout..

 

Umm, how so? Did Alpine make a special 9853 model just for you with only one preout? Because all the rest have three...

 

I wastalking about my current radio if i couldnt get the it to turn on i was going to buy the 9853
