Default How to make my audio better in 2008 IS

Greetings

I'm looking for some ideas on how to make my non Mark Levinson radio sound better. I do have navigation in my car. I find that the sound quality is really average and my rear speakers sound much lower in volume than front speakers.

Would I change out the radio? The speakers? A new amp? I'm wondering what other people have done to improve the sound. Would it be a problem replacing the radio if I have navigation? If radio was replaced would the dash still look good?

Thanks for your help

Cheers

I think you should consult with a mobile stereo shop. Theres so much options out there and depends what you are looking for. I added a subwoofer for a little more bass.

here is what others have done. Remember that the rears are usually for fill but can be changed and amplified.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...our-setup.html

Get a processor.. Or a loc if you just want to add a sub.

I'm still debating on installing my system. If you want I have a Bnib bit.one processor I may let go.
