Default RS3 Audio Upgrade Question

I want to leave the speakers and HU stock. I want to add a 5 channel Infinity Amp to power a 10 in sub and amplify the stock speakers.

How/where would you run/connect to the front speakers to amplify them, since there is a set in the bottom of the doors and a set in the dash.

I guess I would need an extension Video/Left/Right so that I can hook up a playstation to the HU. Would like to also add another monitor in the driver's side dash. Do I need a splitter Video/Left/Right cable also or a splitter box of some type?

Does anyone make a set RCA/line level converter for the RS3 HU? I would love to have 3 sets of RCA out, but would probably settle for 2 sets. My Infinity Amp has 3 RCA inputs Front/Rear/Subs.

Would love to see someone that did a similar install. Any advice, hints, helps are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try http://www.norcalscion.com/

Then click the "NCS Products" tab and check out their harnesses.

So will the NCS subplug 4 work with the Alpine HU in the RS3? I see it says for the Pioneer HU, but doesn't mention the RS3 Alpine HU. I've been to their website b4 but they didn't mention the RS3 HU.

Yes, it will work with the RS3 head unit according to NorCal Scions.

Has anyone amplified the stock front speakers? Where did you connect to the speakers at? Since there is a set in the lower doors and a set on the dash. Where do you connect the speaker power wires to amplify both?

i would go with the audio control eqs that is the highest quality sound you can get on the market. some info and link:

http://www.mobileaudiocontrol.com/de...d=5248&l1=5248

Great sound for six channels, all in one unit. Separate inputs and equalization for front, rear, and subwoofer speakers. The EQS has seven bands of full and half octave equalization control for the front and rear plus six, one-third octave equalization bands for maximum bass control. Add to that the Programmable Frequency Match (PFM) filter and a low output impedance line driver and you get maximum output and sonic clarity everywhere in the car. And to easily use a factory head unit, the EQS has built-in speaker level inputs. Truly a product for those who consider perfection possible.

Key Features
-Six Channel Operation Works With Newer Head units
-Dual-bandwidth Equalization
-Auto-mode Configuration Simplifies Installation
-Programmable Frequency Match (PFM) Subsonic Filter
-Line and Speaker Level Inputs
-Balanced Inputs For Superior Noise Rejection
-Input and Output Level Matching Controls


here is a link with a good price-http://www.caraudioimage.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=593
