Im new to the toyota scene..I bought it for my wife...I know that caddy parts will crossover to chevy parts..e.g. factory amps headunits and other parts....will avalon factory amp or headunits fit in the camry..I have a 2001 camry...I know it would be better to jus install aftermarket...but like I said it is my wifes car..I jus want to improve the output and quility...and if I can jus upgrade the amp with one from the avalon than that would be great....I have a set of poineer 6.5's and tweets (component set) to put up front...so far..

aftermarket would destroy any factory amp. Do you want to amp just the fronts or the rears as well?

so you cannot upgrade any of the speakers with the factory amp...the amp cannot handle it...well that sux...I guess I will jus leave the stock speakers in...I really dont want to upgrade the whole system with aftermarket...I jus thought if I could find a wrecked avalon I could rob a few parts from it to upgrade my camry...are the systems in the XLE camry's the same as the LE's...sorry for so many questions....acting like a real Noobie...Im jus having trouble finding info on the net for Toyotas....I drive a new chevy truck...and there is a bunch of info on how to upgrade the systems in them...if you want to go factory or aftermarket...thanks for any information

no sorry my wording sucked i just relized
the stock amp can handle aftermarket speakers i have that setup now, temporarily. It just wont sound as great as it could. You would need to get some really efficent speakers. The Stock amp puts out about 22x4rms. Unfortunatly no the XLE has premium sound default, its a option on the LE's.(BTW i have my premium sound front speakers out if u want to buy em off me). The real question here is whats the budget. If you self install, you get the S type alpine fronts, and a decent amp for mabye 200-250 ebay prices. Im not terribly sure. Dont worry about the questions that what the board is for.

so the XLE's...some of them have the in dash 6 disk cd changer..will that radio be a direct swap for my single disk..nothing special to wire up or different harness...I know where I can get my hands on one...as far is installing amps and upgrading the whole system...I really dont want to do...jus trying to clarify the sound and quality if possible...if it can be done with stock set up...

ok you guys gotta search more.. i got my blaupunkt 4x80wrms amp for $250 aud, which makes it less then 200 USD

if you can get somethign liek that, youre all set!

thre is no need to searhc on how to instal speakers really, just get something in ya budget, and maake them fit. i have dls 5.25" font and dls 6x9 rears, running parallel into 2 o the amps 4 channels (2 ohm) leabving hte other 2 channels bridged (180wrms) for a sub.. still looking for a sub i like (ill probably end up with a focal 10" sub)

the best way to improve output is to get a better headunit. and just no factory amp. get something good, 4or 6 pre outs,built in xover etc... a good headunit will power 4 speakers or 2 speakers and a sub (you can bridge rear outputs to a sub on good units) to quite a reasonable sound level.
