The best way to hook up an ipod on AU3 premium sound is to use an fm modulator – these have rca inputs, other than that there is the cassette adaptor you mentioned. The only speaker running off the original amp is the subwoofer located behind the carpet on the right hand side of the boot. This can be upgraded with an aftermarket amplifier and sub to enhance the bass. If you want to amplify the front and rear channels you will require high to low level converters.


cheers
