I bought the car not knowing the stock headunit can't be remove so what ideas do I take if I wanted to wire amps for sub, mid, high? Also hook up a crossover and EQ? I looked at audiocontrol EQL but don't know exactly how to start this setup.

what do you mean it cannot be removed??or is it that you do not want to due to be still making monthly payments??all hus are removable..99.8%..and more than likely will need be to bypass the stock amp with a loc for after market amplifiers

you are close with the EQL but you need to look at spending a bit more money. you're going to need to use something more like an Audiocontrol DQL-8, especially if you want to have EQ and X-over controls. I personally would go with Audiocontrol but there are other units on the market that are just as good.

a lot of the new vehicles do not have a dash kit made b/c car manufactures are starting to make the stock headunit cosmetically blend into the car. this is especially true on higher end brands like Acura, Lexus, etc... also a regular LOC will not work b/c of a stock amp that has built in crossover points.

thank you so much for the info. this is a great help.

How do i know if my vechicle is equipped with a stock amplifier or not? The car seems to not have it because it just powers stock speakers and no built in subwoofer if i am correct. please correct me if i'm wrong

okay, i did some research and saw that my car does have a stock amplifier in the center console, but it has two blue plugs but no rca or outputs. how do i wire it to the DQL if it doesn't have outputs from what i see in pictures.
