well, it was one of my more simple installs on a lexus, but definetly enjoyable and challenging working around the storage bin

for those too lazy to click the link and back:

Front Stage: DLS ultimate UX26 high end coaxial
amps: 2x Elemental designs nine.2
sub: Elemental designs 13kv.2

well, i will pitch in but i will let brady say his side.

overall, for a stock headunit install, it sounds pretty good, the MTX Re-Q i used automatically adjusts the bass level to enhance it, and works well. the bass definetly retains their impact and extesion.

there are vibrations but not from the install portion itself. keep in mind the car has almost 100k miles, and a few plastic panels will vibrate, but as brady can attest to, its not bad and wouldnt be any different if it was a sub sitting in the trunk area

as i always say, bass finds a way to get through

with the new DLS front speakers installed i really notice the sound quality alot higher and gives a much better sound.
as for bass i havent really played around with it yet, but so far it is a really solid bass that doesnt rattle anything so far i believe. but im going to play with that today and see if anything rattles inside and outside.

and thanks again Bing!!!!!
