Do I have a factory amp in my 99 camry?

[maxima1274]

I just bought a new Kenwood stereo, installed and it works great except for one thing.

The bass isn't as loud as my factory stereo.

How do I find out if I have a factory amp or not? If I do, I can just buy a new harness with amp integration which will allow me to use my factory amp.

I already looked under my passenger seat and it's not there, can it be anywhere else?

Also, it's an LE.

after i installed a aftermarket stereo in my car and it wasnt as loud as before... changed to aftermarket stereo because oringinal cd player did not work anymore..

the factory amp was under my pass. seat

not sure on newer cam but would think toyota put it in the same place as the older gen's

Did your stock system have a cd player?

Do you have tweeters in the doors stock?

How did you install the stereo? Put up a photo of the back of your original stereo.

Yes I do, and I don't think those are working either.

No, it's an Excelon model.

You probably have an amp then. It is possible you dont though. DId your stock stereo have one rectangular plug that was in two pieces, or two more squarish ones?

The amp integration harness is only like 30$ and if you do have an amp itll sound ALOT better. Do you have subs btw? Make sure your headunit isnt in sub mode or you wont get bass sent to the door speakers.

It had 2 pieces, one was a rectangular kind, and one was square-ish

You most likely have an amp then. If you can post pics of the back of stock radio i can confirm for sure if you have one or not.


If the volume on the new radio isnt as loud then you need a integration box
