Stock SE head - Fosgate amp?

[Sol-Toy]

Hey guy's, I'm a newb to the site and a newb to Toyota. Greetings aside, I'm wondering if I can get some info on installing my old amp and subs into my solara.

I swapped my Fosgate amp and twin 12in IMPP's out of my old civic and want to install it into my Solara. I originaly had a Kenwood receiver with a pre-amp out in my civic but now I'm wondering if it's possible to install this with my stock SE receiver. It's the CD/Tape deck w/out the changer. Is there a unit that I need that will adapt the amp to the stock receiver? If not, do I need to locate a Solora SLE deck that has a pre-amp out? Or is it not even worth it? I'm not going to purchase a new receiver and I could care less about the sound quality being perfect (just want to get some more bass out of the whole set up - worse case scenerio, I'll dial down the gains if the bass is overbearing).

Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance and I hope to frequent the site in the future!

Um, yeah if i were you i would get a new H/U.
It would be better than the stock one you have.

You could buy a line output converter like this http://www.cardomain.com/item/STISALOC#vehicles and just tap into your rear speaker wires and connect this to them, not real good sound quality and an aftermarket HU would be a much better idea but this would work.

Man I did an install using the factory headunit in a 2005 Tacoma.

We installed DLS Iridium components powered off a DLS A3 amp, a DLS A6 amp powering an Image Dynamics IDMAX.


One of the best systems I've heard(I've heard alot)

For your situation a good quality LOC will do the job perfectly.

I'd Rec. the N-85V from www.davidnavone.com

Dave Navone makes some of the best LOC's out there. His Autosound 2000 test discs are well worth the price too. He took the time to answer a ton of my questions. The only problem I had using my stock HU was the noise floor was a little high on my Solara's JBL system w/amp. I had to set the gains a little low to eliminate hiss. I even tried bypassing the amp with no success. Sound pretty good though.

Thanks guy's. I'll give it some thought and let you know how it turns out if I do this.

Yeah that was the only problem, when the volume was up, and there was a break in the music, there was very slight background noise, but with music going, it was awesome, I was very impressed.
