Hello everyone,

I have discovered in my 1998 Acura 2.5TL that the stereo stinks. After I bought it, I had the laser replaced and it still doesn't play lots of CD's (even store-bought ones!) I'm giving up on the factory system. I want a new one.

I do know through the research I have done that it can take a double DIN receiver. That would be ideal, since it would fill up all or most of the hole. And I like that. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else. First of all, I'm not sure if the TL's amp is separate from the receiver or integrated. What kind of power do I need for the factory speakers?

Also, I do want iPod connectivity. Otherwise, I don't need much. Enough power, double DIN, iPod, and CD player. That's it. Any advice?
