A search will show more answers than i can give you. But the LX has no amp. I think the popular opinion is that you are better off getting an aftermarket HU, unless you already have a stock EX in hand.

I'm not even sure if the LX is pre-wired for the amp, but if it is, you will need the headunit, amp, sub, and tweeters to get an EX-style system which is only decent at best. I recommend you go aftermarket instead.

The OP swapped an EX HU into his LX and didn't have any sound coming out. I would appear that the EX head unit without the amp is pretty only usefull as a paper weight.

Yes, this really isn't going to be worth the effort or the cost. You can buy an aftermarket radio equipped with an iPod cable and more eq/crossover features than the stock HU with a mounting kit and wiring harness for less than $200 and install it yourself.
