[QUOTE="MrsWatts, post: 8710386, member: 680304"] Hi all, well after alot of headaches and conflicting information from several different car audio installers I think I have decided on my equipment. My 2004 Lexus GS 300 comes stock with front and rear 4 inch door speakers and a 10 in bass speaker in the rear deck. It originally came with a nackamichi deck w/ 6 disc CD player in the glove compartment and an amp behind the passenger kick panel. Well some idiot replaced the stock head unit with a cheap walmart HU that has a back up camera and a 6"8 touchscreen. When they did this they rendered the amp useless or just bypassed it for some reason so now it sounds like it is being run off of half a watt or close. Anyway I set off to upgrade the whole thing and what a frustrating journey it has been every audio installer I have consulted (4 of them) has given me different and conflicting information about what would work and sound good in my car. I believe that since I am a female they are trying to take advantage of me and rip me off and try to sell me things that I find out later won't work.
