I am in the process of upgrading my audio system. I have been to many shops and the guys frankly told me thay have not worked on a car like mine before but they were will to give it a shot. Some shops just told me they did not have the know how to tackle my job.

I finally found a guy who i think can do the job after checking out some of the work he has done on other cars (non lexus).

If you are wondering i live 60miles north of Atlanta, Ga.

What i am doing now is gathering info and printing them out.
- I have printed out directions on how to remove the front/rear door panels
and replace the speakers.
- how the remove the back seat and the rear amp.

These printouts will only used as reference points for the pro installer.

Now i need info on the following:

1. Can somebody tell me the best and safest method to replace tweeter in '01 I am looking for a step by step method on how to get to them and remove
them without destroying my cars trim.

2. What will be the best method to run the power wire from the battery to
the amp without destroying the firewall.

I found the link below and i was wondering if its applicable to an '01 LS430.

Thanks

 

I would think most GOOD audio shops could accomplish this on ANY Lexus (or any luxury car for that matter) easily. If a shop is telling you they haven't done a job like this or is uncomfortable, RUN AWAY!

Richmond is a much smaller town than Atlanta and we have several great shops....Atlanta and the 'burbs should have a DOZEN.

Good Luck with your project!

FWIW, I would also post this in the Audion Section. You'll probably get a better response.
