I just had the VAIS SoundLinQ (Model SL2S) and SIRIUS SC-C1 Tuner and I'm loving it. Can't tell you how nice it is to not have to listen to radio station people go on and on DJ's incessant babbling.

Now that I have the satellite radio, I'm looking to upgrade the sound via the front and reardoor speakers. Any recommendations for some quality (but not too expensive) speakers for a 2007 RX350?

TIA

Check out Crutchfield.com You can even talk to a sales rep concerning your budget and objective. They sell quality speakers of all different types and no tax if out of state. Good luck!

cmichael, did you have the soundlink installed at a local shop? If so, and you are happy with their work, I would go back. As a return customer, you should be good for a goodwill discount on speakers, and they can recommend them. True, they will probably recommend what they carry, but if they sound good to you and are in your budget, should it matter they didn't offer every brand from A to Z?

If you're a DIY person, I would try to at least hear a few sets before buying, even if it means going to several shops and being honest with them that you want to do it yourself. They may be able to give you a break on them since there would be no labor involved, but that's not always the case. There really is no match for actually listening to speakers before you buy them, however. Can't tell you how many times I've had customers buy more gear to make crap speakers sound better vs. just doing it right and buying better stuff. If you spend $50 on a set of speakers and $400 on an EQ or processor to make them sound good, why not just buy the $300 speakers and save yourself the headache, right?

Idecided to have the SIRIUS installed at the Lexus dealership. Cost a little more but I knew that there would be no warranty issues and I could take it back if any problems developed.

Good point about checking out different speakers and I plan to do that. I might decide to go with a DIY as the door panels are much easier do deal with than working up under the dash (when you're 6' 3").

Thanks for the suggestions.
