The dealer can also turn off the fake engine sound.

Stock speakers are fairly impressive, by the way. Haven’t pushed them to the limit yet, but plenty of volume and very clear at 35. Have had some cars with fairly high end systems (e.g.,B&W) and this system is very comparable IMO with just the amp upgrade. Would still like a little more punch on the low end, by this thing really helps there too. Definitely going to put off getting a subwoofer for a bit while I play with the settings.

100% No complaints

UPDATE:

I ordered the Carista dongle and turned off the noise canceling and fake engine noise and the humming noise vanished. I am fairly certain the issue was with noise cancelation, but will toggle on/off that and fake engine noise to figure it out, just for dorks sake.

Now I can finally enjoy the increase output of the amp. Sounds great! I'm super happy with the amp!

Now it's time to add a JL Audio sub box I have and see how that works out...

Did you have to readjust your bass, mid and tremble after installing the amp? How do you have yours set - mind posting a pic of your setting? I am awful at getting those set correctly, too many years flying helo's LOL.

Mine is ordered and supposed to ship out next week.

It's arrived....will try to get this installed tonight.

Did the amp come with the foam padding w/adhesive for underneath?

 

[munkeeboi]

No. I added that in myself. You don’t need it, though

No, it came with velcro, which you don't need. I zip tied mine under the seat, I bought some 24" zip ties, Really any size would work just daisy chaining them together to get the length needed.

That's what I did too. I think the velcro option wouldn't hold up to rear seat passengers moving their feet and hitting it.

I also pulled the stock fabric over the amp to further protect it and the wiring from feet...

Beatsonic magic box arrived yesterday - will try to install tomorrow!

 

[CFENSTY]

I think mine gets here Tuesday. Looking forward to juicing up the system a bit. The stock system sounds so muffled.

I haven’t played with the settings too much. Have the gain on the Beatsonic amp turned up to about 90% across the board. Turned the high end and low up just a little bit higher than the mid in the equalizer. Have the balance set all the way to the front since I rarely have people in the back seat (and I just find it weird to have music coming at you from behind). I would normally turn the base up more than the treble, but worried that the stock speakers can’t handle it (the stock Pioneer highs and mids seem fairly capable). Planning a cross-country road trip and suspect I’ll play around with the settings a bit more on the road.

Wow, the little Beatsonic magic box makes a HUGE difference!

I’m glad this is the consensus

 

[dcar]

I installed mine today. Big improvement

Yeah, huge improvement right!

Everything you didn't know you wanted to know about installing the Beatsonic magic box in the Lexus GX550, or There and Back Again by Bilbo Baggins

Does anyone know why the price is significantly higher than their other very similar offerings for other vehicles? I'm currently putting some stuff together to add a JL 10TW3 somewhere in the back and it looks like this would make it so a line output converter isn't needed? In that $350-$400 range I'd definitely be in, but $800 is definitely up there. Does this have increased power over the stock amp in case you wanted to upgrade other speakers?

 

[munkeeboi]

It has double the number of channels at 8 channels and it is upgrading a Class D stock amp.

I think this was developed to enhance the stock speakers and not intended to power all aftermarket speakers. It will probably power new speakers, but not as well as it would if you were trying to upgrade the entire system with a new amp.
