I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR IPOD CONNECTIONS!!!!


I would like to see what people have done to add woofers in there trunk or extra speakers in the doors....im getting tired of the stock system and am thinking about build cystom pods for 2 speakers in each doors and 2 tens on either side of my trunk.

could very easily be done. 4080 enclosures already makes a box for the drivers side for a 12. id recommend running a nice 12 in there with a big amp and run a nice set of door speakers. with just one side, you can still fit a set of clubs in the trunk.

With the 4080 enclosure, you won't get the most boom of ur woofer though.

Here's my dilema, I wanted to install an aftermarket stereo SYSTEM into my 06 GS3 but the A/C is tied into the the stock radio... Anyone know how to bypass this?
And I'm not looking to leave the stock stereo on because I want to be able to connect my hdd to the stereo and play my music there. And I know there's aftermarket units that you can interface with the stock radio to play USB drives but they aren't as convienent as an after market stereo that I know will work for sure. Thanks in advance!

I think we've got the wrong car for replacing the stereo system on. It's just too integrated into so many things (climate, bluetooth, park assist, etc.).

Where there's a will there's a way!! I saw this other 3GS member on here who got an aftermarket flip out screen stereo in his car. I PM him recently and hopefully he replies with good news of how he did it.
For now I'm thinking of cutting the one connector needed for the A/C to work (on the stock radio) and running it to the trunk area where I can store the stock radio and still have my aftermarket one installed up front.

you need to use a processor such as the jl cleansweep or fosgate 3sixty

Wow! So you plan on pulling over to adjust your a/c when it gets hot?

jaguar_83

Oh no, what I'm saying is the wire that needs to be plugged in to the stock radio in order for the A/C to work will be ran to the back of the car along with the stock radio, the A/C controls up front will still work. The monitor and stock radio are two seperate units, they can be taken apart once the monitor & radio are pulled out.
How hard would it have been for Lexus to leave all the A/C components behind the monitor and not have to integrate it to the radio :S

Hey 3m
Do you have better pic of your setup in the trunk

For those of you adding subwoofers, a couple questions:
1. How did you get signal into the amplifier for the new sub:
----A. Did you convert the existing sub's (speaker-level) signal using a line-level converter?
----B. Did you somehow get access to a line-level output from the Lexus head unit?
----C. Did you use some other technique?

2. In either case, does having a ML vs. "premium" system make a difference?

Thanks!
