Thank you Livewire for your answer. Problem is that if I connect the input to the output amplifiers, the bass and treble controls will be non-functional, this bugs me a bit as I prefer to turn up the treble in the noisy environment a car is.

I earlier called ICx3 a preamplifier, but in fact I am not sure if it is an amplifer or not. In any case it is where tone correction is done. Since it is a custom part I have not found any useful information about it.

Do you think it is ok to connect the input to this IC instead of the output amplifier? I did try it earlier but maybe it can have some ill effects?
