Default My Lexus and it's sound system.

I have a pic on another thread showing my deck and was asked about how it was installed and what not. I figured I would show you guys what is in my trunk!

They don't fold in the 00-01's. You have the center armrest that folds down to pop skis in there and that's about it!

Maybe someone else can confirm if their 97-99 ones dont as well?

Nope not in 99. Pretty much the same set up as 00-01 have to fold down the rear center armrest to fit anything long in there(Thats what she said... I know). My trunk is not functional since my system's box is a BEAST!

I had a friend from work help me install it, he did most of the work I just watched mostly... I paid him so I didn't feel bad. Also thanks for the comment about my spoiler! I don't see too many es300s around with them!

Very clean! I have a sub in my trunk too, but the install isn't nearly as clean as yours. I have wires coming from the stock sub to a line-out converter, then to the amp... but I hid most of the stuff behind my sub box since it's pretty big.

Anyways, specs! And how does it sound?

Very clean man!

The seats don't fold down in the 4th gen ES's either!

Sorry guys for not replying sooner, I haven't been back to the site in a while, I have been busy. Rockford Fosgate Prime R300-4 is the bigger AMP that I have my speaker system connected to. Rockford Fosgate Prime R150-2 is what I have my Rockford Fosgate P1L-1X10 sub connected to. It sounds really crisp and it punches pretty hard, it rattles my spoiler and rear deck third brake like housing pretty badly though. I am thinking about using some sound proof stripping inside of the third brake like housing and I am looking into seeing what I can do about filling my spoiler with some kind of foam or something to reduce rattle vibrations...
