Circuit City, not really sure,, 55 bucks for various parts.. then some stuff had no installation etc.. not sure

Got it fixed that day (Jan 5th), they replaced the headunit and all was well, sounds awesome

its back in shop now, hopefully they can get it fixed

*reposted from LS400 category* So I got a $2000+ sound system for my 1996 lexus LS400 I got Pioneer headunit, Kicker 4-channel amp, Kicker subwoofer amp, 2 12" Kicker subwoofers, Polk speakers got it installed, everything sounds great, but the installers are stumped to the engine noise.. there is a whine, squeek, high pitch sound that increases with RPMs on my car.. today was the 3rd day its been in since they started installing.. does anyone have any idea? The only idea the techs at circuit city are suggesting is using headunit to power speakers instead of 4-channel amp, but I would much rather keep current setup if only we could fix problem some how.. they have tried tons of things, grounding wires, rewiring and moving power and audio wires.. still get the noise.. any ideas?

Were there any headunit changes (for the CD/tape player) from the 1996 to the 1998 version I am getting a headunit (to power my subs and Sirius) and they had to special order a dash kit because the closest they had IN-STOCK was a 1998.. It looked fine to me and the audio guy, but my dad said special order just to be sure.. Were we right in waiting, rather than taking out the old and then seeing if it would truely fit

Anyone ever get a system in their car? I am thinking of getting one for christmas, not sure how hard it is to do in a Lexus.. I know my brothers SUV was pretty simple..

Where is a good site to find specs (hp,0-60speed (w/ PWR ETC on), etc) for a 1996 LS400?

My friend has a Mustang, so we go this place around us called Modular Powerhouse, they modify mustangs, they have 800+hp mustangs ON THE LOT, that sound cool. Tried to find a similiar place for Lexus's, but obviously Lexus does not have the "performance community" that Mustangs do. Here are my questions 1) Whereabouts can I find people that will modify my car that are reputable 2) What exactly can I do 3) How much will it empty my wallet I am driving a 1996 Lexus LS400 with ~140k miles on it Biggest performance enhancement right now, flipping the PWR/ETC Switch. Thanks in advance. ~ Also, what about sound systems, like subwoofers and stuff, easy to be done by like Circuit City?
