3IS Turbo Audio Build (SQ/SPL)
A little background...
Nov 2016, purchased a CPO 2014 IS250 with 38k miles on it. I didn't do any upgrades other than wheels and coils. Eventually, removed them as I was driving way too much and the wheels were 19x10 +22. It destroyed the liners on all 4 and went back to stock.
Moving forward, my birthday is Oct 21st. I decided I wanted a gift for myself and upgrade the car. Oct 22nd, 2020, I went to Lexus on impulse, traded the IS250 in for a 2017 IS200t.
I've been purchasing audio gear over the years but never installed it in the IS250. I finally got the bug to install it in the 200t.
I'm a pretty big audiophile so I take my time to research and order amplifiers, speakers, subwoofers ETC.
So far, installed, Zapco 1650XM powering a 12" Fi BTL-3. For those who don't know the brand of the sub, the manufacturer is based out of Vegas. You will not find them at your local audio shop as they do not have any resellers. Each sub is custom built on order.
With that installed, I am also running the Alpine HX-800 processor with the RUX controller. Super rough install at the moment but the trunk will be fully customized to house the amplifiers, processor ETC.
I will post pictures within the next few days.
I would love some input and ideas once the pictures are posted on clean looks, style and all for the install. The community counts.

btw, i'm sure you know this already coming from your prior car ... if your car is lowered, LCA's are a godsend
i have 200t as well ... just put them on + RSR-downs ... its a gawdmn revelation with handling and feel.
