Default Speaker Audio System
I'm waiting on my new RX to be delivered this weekend. In this mean time, was just curious to know who is the manufacturer of the premium audio 12 speaker system?

Getting info on this system is like pulling teeth....I think it is pioneer but if you ask for details like amps or power drivers they look at you........

I have the standard 9 speaker system and it's nowhere near a pioneer quality, it's brandless and cheaply made, I'll get pics whenever I have the chance.

Thank you for the reply. It would be great if Lexus puts the manufacturer of the audio system. I find little apprehensive as to why Lexus would not tell the manufacturer whereas other peers clearly mention
