Default Simple Budget AUDIO Setup. Lexus GS430

This is a simple install I did for a friend. Nothing really out of the norm.
Alpine W200/h701 combo.
2.5 way setup. rear doors just for midbass
Older Alpine type x tweets, with Vifa bc mids (i think)
Ported Dayton HO 12"

Off topic, how do you like the srt intake. Would you say it's worth the money?

If/when the oem sub blows, you can easily fit a 12" in oem location. You'll just have to mount it from below.

$1300-1400 for all equip & materials. Most were bought 2nd hand to go with my excess wires and hardware.
