The car is a 06 Nissan Murano S. Everything is all together(radio,heat,etc..) So i dont want to start messing around with it. What i want is to be able to hook up two amps(front,subs) an a ipod if possible to my factory radio. Does anyone know of something i can buy that will support what im looking for? Ive looked at several ipod adapters,but all require sat radio an the car isnt equipped with it. Does anyone know of someother way this can be done? Ive looked at jl cleansweep,audiosource an pac,but im a little confused,not really sure what to buy. Any help would be great guys, Thanks

AudioControl LC7 or JL Audio CleanSweep.

either of these items are designed to adapt a factory head unit to an aftermarket stereo system with amplifiers.
One of these is what you want. Then you'll need to pick out front (and rear if desired) speakers, a 4 channel amp for them, and a subwoofer (or two) and an amp for the sub(s)

Thanks GW, Im going with something from Audiocontrol. Just seems like they have a little more options. Question though, it says it can handle 400watt signals per channel? Does that mean 400w from the radio? Also the lc7 doesnt have a crossover or eq. Does that really matter? Or will i be ok without them? Thanks again man

that's 400 watts from the factory stereo if you use high level inputs.
the amplifier(s) themselves will have crossovers you can use.
As for EQs, you can always add an AudioControl EQ that offers the number of input channels you plan to run (4? 6?) to smooth things out if need be. The EQ would go between the LC7 and the amplifiers.
