Adding the ML system is the only reason I had to special order our RX.
I had an IS without it and a GS with it and you could tell the difference.
No too sure why Lexus does not put the ML system in more of the IS, RX, ES line.
80 2010 RX 350's were in transit to one of our local Houston dealers last month and not ONE had ML in it.
Crazy..

ML should be the standard and they should come up with something higher-end like Jaguar is doing with B&W for their "premium" audio package.
The stock 11 speaker Nav Pioneer is a total piece of garbage.

Does anyone know the sizes of all the speakers in the 11-speaker "premium" Pioneer system (NAV)?
I'm not sure about you guys, but I find the speakers to be beyond horrible. They are extremely muddy and have zero clarity. I just moved from an IS350 with Mark Levinson, so maybe I'm just jaded. However, the plan is to swap all the speakers with aftermarket equivalents to get the sound quality I expect.

Has anyone with a 450h upgraded their sound system yet? Based on this thread I am considering replacing the speakers and then some. I don't even have the car yet! The speakers are horrible for a "luxury" vehicle. I was hoping I didn't have to go down this road again.

I was just trying to see what I might be getting myself into again. I'll start with the speakers. Not sure how much further I'll go.

low frequency sounds just ok if you set bass to higher

I tried my iPod when I test drove the 450h. Compared to what I have now, I can't say I'm impressed. But I'll definitely work with my installer to see if we can overcome some of the issues.

Do you guys noticed RX sound balance setup is actually miss leading. If you set cross point in front the center sound actually is on the back seat. you have to set cross point on the backseat right side little to make the sound center on driver seat. so more surrounder
