i am looking to replace the stock stereo deck with an aftermarket one.. something that will have an ipod hookup but i still want to keep all 6 speakers working and ive heard this is not possible. any way i can keep them with an aftermarket deck? if not is there a way to hook up my ipod to the stock deck directly? i also am wanting to get a new sub/amp but ive heard i cant do this off of the stock deck because of the stock amp thats in there? if anybody has any advice/ suggestions/ or ideas, i would love to hear them as i am not exactly a pro when it comes to car audio and i could use all of the help i can get.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

im in the same situation as u with the es300. whats the deal with the factory amp in the es300?

hey im new here and i have a 99 es300 and the system is stock right now. i have either a alpine 9815 or 9835 i forget which 1 thats not hooked up. i need 2 get the factory amp bypassed cuz im gettin a kicker L5 12" to put in the trunk and a new amp for that. so my question is A. will the stock speakers sound better hooked up to the alpine and B. how much is a shop gonna charge to bypass the factory amp and install all that because it sounds like its hard to install systems on lex's. any help would be appreciated thanks!
