Supplying more power to my factory stereo

[FL DAN]

Thinking of installing an I Pod kit into my factory stereo. While i've got the stereo out, is it possible to supply a cheap, easy little boost to my factory stereo? Thanks in advance.

Do you have the JBL system or just the entry level system? there are no really cheap and easy ways to upgrade the power output of either of them. the factory amplifier can be bypassed with an aftermarket unit, but that depends on what amount of cash your willing to spend. I went that route and it cost me about $1200.00 for a really nice sounding 700 watt system that retained the factory headunit and steering wheel controls.

It's all factory.

The ipod connection can be made fairly easily and for not much dinero. I would recommend that you plan your future upgrades carefully, figure out what you really want and then search the internet for products that will work for you. I personally wanted to retain the factory head and steering wheel controls on my truck and have the ability to connect an mp3 player along with far more output power. I used an alpine oem stereo interfacing product called the PXE-h650 along with 2 alpine amps,2 10" sony subs, infinity kappa separates front and rear. it's all installed stealthly so as to not draw thieves attention. No further upgrades needed. Good luck on your upgrades.
