Default Krell Sound System

A couple years ago I rode in a friend's Acura RLX and it had the Krell sound package. Man that was incredible. I always dreamed of putting that system in my car. How difficult would it be to change out the ML in an LS 430 and put in Krell?

Probably difficult as many car manufacturers tend to integrate everything purposely for a certain model car. Even if you could get the main parts, the tuning would be completely off for the LS430. Different interior, different materials, lots of variables. You're better off going aftermarket and tuning it yourself - probably get much better quality results that way.

Okay I'll try that. Maybe Car Toys or some other electronics place can set me up with a nice sound system. The ML is nice but I was really blown away by the Krell so getting something similar to that would be amazing. Thank you for the help.

Assuming the ML system is still working properly, its one of the best systems you can get in a car. Systems like the Krell in that Acura or Bose as an example are loud which makes them sound good on the surface, but the ML is one of the clearest systems ever put in a car. I would give yourself some time with it before replacing it, likely anything you would put in from a shop is going to be lesser quality.

Thats assuming all the speakers are still good and the amp is still good, which is a question given its age.
