One of my friends took his car (not a Lexus) to the Good Guys around here. He had a CD-deck, EQ, active crossover, two amps, and two subs. They didn't hook up the crossover and didn't bolt down the amps. When he took it back, they said they didn't see the crossover and thought that he didn't want the amp bolted down. After they hooked up the rest of the equipment and bolted it all down, they scratched his window tint. Can I say quality service???

my 2c

No speaker adapter is needed. The inputs to the circut board are RCA from the head unit wire direct to a rca male plug.

The power cable is not that difficult to run, you do not need to run a remote or inputs since you can tap these from the sub amp or the NAK amp depending on which you have.

i dont recommend keeping the stock 10, you should take it out and leave the whole empty and open as a port hole, trust me it makes the car alot louder, i just put in 2 12" eclipse, the port hole made the noise much cleaner and the bass cleaner.
