Smile Introducing myself

what up every one!
Long time lurker, first time poster. I just want to introduce myself.

I recently purchased a 2011 Lexus LS460 and I love it. I’m coming from a 2001 is300 which I also loved but I felt I outgrew it. Lexus Just makes Great Cars.

My other cars are: 1971 Ford F250 with a 7.6L transplant, 2016 Acura MDX, 2004 VW GTI, 1972 Chevy Nova and a 1966 Volvo 122S.

My LS460 currently has 124k miles, but it was taken care of meticulously by the previous owner (it was an executive corporate car for a big corporation here in San Diego).

I do have a question for you all. I have some left over sound equipment I want to put in to this car. Namely 2 Audison Amps and a JLW7. My car did not come with the ML system but that is OK. as for right now all I want to do is hook up my audison amp and W7 so I can get some more Bass. at some point in the future, I will install the other amp for the high's and upgrade the speakers to focal as well. . I have been reading that all I need is a high low converter. (well the + and - cables and RCA's too) it seems like the LC-2 is the best bang for my buck. are there any other recommendations or preferences you guys have? I also liked the 3.sixty, but it’s over$500 and I’m not looking to spend that much if I don't have to. I also saw the RF 3.sixty balanced line driver. would that work on its own or is an add on to the 3.sixty itself?? any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome and gratz on the new ride. Of course around here, the car doesn't exist without photos!

Can't help you with your audio question, but others will certainly be by soon.

Enjoy!

Nice pick up. Did you get that at Lexus San Diego? I think I remember seeing it on their website recently. I'm in San Diego too. Congrats on your new ride. Beautiful.

Well someone got a nice Christmas present!

Can't help you with the audio. If no one answers, after the holidays just start a new thread with an appropriate audio title and someone will help. I know there are very knowledgeable audio guys on here.
