Hahahaha get a ported sub box with a 10" sub and you will be more than satisfied. My box beats so hard that I had to turn down the base level way down. Oh yeah my stock sub is still working in conjunction with the aftermarket sub too. Totally worth it

going from the LS460 to the ISF the stereo is easily the weakest art of the car ( and maybe interior leather quality ). The stereo in the LS460 blew my mind even after having the car 4 years. The ISf system is always at high volume and max bass because it has no *****. I feel for the dudes who have the base system . It would be like listening to a walk man lol

agreed the ISF stereo sucks!

The interior really kinda sucks in general compared to the newer gens that is for sure.

My GTR and truck have way better sounding stock stereos than the F

Agreed on the GTR vs ISF stock stereos.. the bass hits is a lot better

The high freq. in general blow!
I know this topic has been touched on several times so I dont want to rehash old ****.

But I wanted to laugh at my blown sub and my lil hybrid Lexus im driving around.
My gf's daughter had the "NERVE" to say she liked the CT better than the ISF.

I almost sent her to her room FOREVER!
what the Hell do kids know anyway.

HAHAHA

I totally agree! I can bare with the ML system but the leather seats drive me insane!!! Too delicate along with the interior panels. My previous base sound systems in the IS250 & 350 blows the ML out of the water. It was no 5.1 DD but the actual stereo 2.1 channel had a lot more rawness. Even my wife complimented that sound. Now she laughs when we're in "THE IS F"...so she saids. I just let her have the engine soundtrack instead and put her on her toes...lol

When I'm on a road trip with the wife and she's watching a movie the dolby is awesome. It's like a different stereo.
