Default Jan/Feb 1994 Car Stereo Review, in-depth review of Lexus 93' GS300 audio system.

I almost forgot I had this issue but I've recently found it while I was going through some of my old mags. Thought some of you might be interested in how the first gen GS audio system faired in an in-depth review back in the days.

I managed to scan the pages from the magazine for you guys to read









Seems, it did quite well in the review. Even by todays standards I think the stock Nak when compared with what's available today, it still shines

the Nak system in mine used to rock really well. Too bad the 12 disc is long gone, and the amp has a blown channel. 256k miles, 50k on and off a race track.

Interesting in the last paragraph he talks about adding a center channel up front.. anyone notice the Aristo dash? It has a center channel.

Thanks for the post! I bought my 1GS from my father, who bought a GS400, and every time he gets in my car he STILL comments on the sound of the NAK system in mine being so much better than his. Thanks again.
