Bronze Member Username: Dcollister440Post Number: 20 Registered: Jun-11 | So I'm buying either a 1996 or 1995 toyota avalon XLS, they both come with stock premium stereo, which I would like to keep because they sound really good. But of course I am going to need some more bass. I have that RF 1500bd that I want to hook up to a pair of p3s in a ported box. How would I go about doing this? And how would I go about hooking up an ipod to this as well? I know there is the radio adapter thing that has the station on it, but it doesnt sound that good. Is there something that I can use like an aftermarket hook up that I could plug in the ipod too? |

There is another expensive method: have all your speakers amp powered, then it can be directly connected easy. Now I can guarantee that a decent aftermarket HU will outperform that stock HU, it will look better too. |

Bronze Member Username: Dcollister440Post Number: 21 Registered: Jun-11 | that brings me along to my next question. can I keep the system the way it is, because it sounds good, and install an aftermarket head unit, which would allow me to put an extra amp for subs in the trunk.....and the speakers/system thats in there currently are amp powered, at least i believe they are |

Works great. |

Bronze Member Username: Dcollister440Post Number: 23 Registered: Jun-11 | yeah I'm pretty sure it's bose, and really i'd rahter keep the factory HU just because it would be extremely simple, you know? but is there an adapter like the ones mentioned above for adding an amplifier that would also allow me to hook up an ipod? just curious |

Gold Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 1251 Registered: Jun-06 | If you do have a Bose system, and you do not want to swap the Speakers or Deck, then yes, you are going to need the PAC AOEM-TOY. Even if you replaced the Deck and still kept the Speakers, you would still need to purchase the PAC AOEM-TOY because factory Boss systems work at 1 Ohm, while aftermarket Decks work on 4 Ohms. The PAC AOEM-TOY will make sure to keep your system in the same phase to prevent any damage to the factory Bose Speakers. As far as the iPod goes, the only Factory Adaptors that I can find are for Fords and other GM vehicles. Nothing for Toyota that I can find anyway. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, South Carolina Post Number: 14452 Registered: Dec-03 | sorry I mised that Joe. I was being called away and wanted to finish up here so I just read the original post and responded. PAC has some great tools. I absolutely love their amplifier scroll fans. (part CF-1 if I recall?) |
