Question
Hellow Ernesto,

I have a 2005 Chrysler 300 limited.  The car came with a factory 6 cd disc changer radio.  I have a Rockford Fosgate BD1001 amp and two Rockford Fosgate 12'' HX2's (subs).  I do not want to change my factory stereo.  I want to integrate an Ipod to my system.  Will my subs hit as hard as they would if they were connected to an aftermarket stereo unit compared to being connected to the factory 6cd changer.  I have done some research and will the Kenwood KOS-A200 and the Kenwood IP500 IPOD interface allow me to do what I want? Integrate subs, amp, and an Ipod to my factory stereo with great sound?  Also, is there an equalizer that I can add to my setup that will allow me to change to volumes of the bass, etc.  Thank you very much Ernesto, I look foward to hearing from you.
