hey fellas,
i'm buying a 2002 black sportcross in a couple of weeks, and i'm planning on upgrading from the factory system. i like the stock head unit and wanted to know if it were possible to keep it and add a multichannel amp( i'm pretty much set on getting an a/d/s amp) to run new speakers ( i'm thinking diamond audio or boston). also, anyone know what size that small subwoofer is? i'm cross-posting this in the lexus electronics forum, hopefully i'll get more replies.thanks in advance for any help.
cheers!

well to keep your stock HU use the line converters that connect onto your speaker wire to convert into RCA signal... and as far as the SUB goes I am not sure... I will try to find out

LA Auto Show

We're using a couple of amps to power upgraded speakers and a larger sub in our IS, all while interfacing through the factory head unit. The guys at Automotive Entertainment (www.automotiveentertainment.cc) put the system together, and they would know much more about it than I do.

What can I use as the remote turn on in the trunk?

yes you can but it doesn't sound too good unless you go digging for the cleanest signal (you need some hi-tech equipment for this)

Just a simple speaker replacement will improve the sound quality. Thorw in any set of NICE speakers and you'll be much happier. Having an incredible amp is worthless without great speakers. Having incredible speakers with an average amp is pretty good ( but not great). I've been doing it with my cars and Home Audio system for awhile now. Having the combination of an increible amp AND incredible speakers is great though (assuming you have a good crossover, wires, and a good signal).

ah guys tha is 300 has a separate amp from tha radio. so u can tap with a line converter on to tha speaker wires. but u have two choice where to tap in to:1. between tha amp and tha speaker or 2. between radio and amp. if u go wit choice 1 u'll get a noise everytime u turn ur engine off. so if i was u guys i would go wit choice 2


now wit tha remote u would have to tap in ur remote of tha radio. u find tha sheet that has all tha color wires from a audio shop, if they are nice. mabe u can find it at tha dealer


so thats ur homework guys peace!!!
