Post Number: 1728 Registered: Feb-06 | get a LOC (line output coverter) if u plan on keepin ur stock system in. u can get sum cheap ones off ebay, but if ur wantn to get good sound Id suggest gettn an audiocontrol. It'll covert ur speaker (hi level) outputs from teh stock cd player, to RCA(low level) outputs to hook up to the amp. |

I got a 99 GC and I've used a EQL as a LOC jus to power the subs, and left the factory pushing the door speakers and it sounded good. the Only thing you'll b missin from usin a factory HU is the EQ options that come with a good aftermarket. but if you do like me and get a EQL then u hav the EQ, and LOC, so you should be alright to keep ur navi installed. If you plan on upgradin the door speakers and adding an amp to the new ones, then AC has all that on their site.....check it out. http://www.mobileaudiocontrol.com/product.asp?Product_Id=226059 |

The only thing is that you won't be able to adjust the bass on your regular speakers independently from the subs. |

Post Number: 1735 Registered: Feb-06 | if he went the audiocontrol route and upgraded his doors, then he could adjust w/the EQL...basically tho u'd b investing as much money into it that way as you would just gettn a good HU, unless u bought the stuff used.. |
