those RX wheels do flow great though, and 225/40s not bad. Maybe you could have gone 235/40?

I initially wanted the 235/40 but my tire guy told me that it was a "bit" too wide for a 7" rim. Since he's been installing my rims and tires for over 8 years now, i couldn't argue with the guy. He gives me alot of extra attention when i role in.
thanks ChuckB

JungleJoe,
I have the 01 GS300 w/o NAV. Would it work if I just get the DDX7015 and KNA-DV4100?
All I want is a NAV in the car. And what about our stock 6-disc changer. Will that still work with these equipments?

hope this help man. The power from the head unit is enough to power all the stock speakers without any problems at all.

With the ddx7015 you are able to play mp3, and so one dvd full of mp3s will give you more storage then a 6 disk changer.

I was hoping to get a DVD Nav system for under $1000.

Thats not toooo far from your budget and the difference in sound and convenience is well worth it.
hmmm.. thinking thinking.
Too bad our center console is so huge. Otherwise, we can get them units that can hideaway.

I agree with the tailight change, I recently did it and love it. Looks more classy.
One question - How do you like having a Freeair sub and an enclosed sub? Does the Freeair sub give you any distortion from the sealed sub's pressure?
I know the factory sub and a Solobaric in the trunk - it made the freeair sub distort like crazy... So much I had to remove it. I really like your idea though... Can you give me some feedback?

I can't be heard from 3 blocks away and that was never the intent. The sound quality however, would keep Bach and Mozart in their seats for hours.
