I installed mine yesterday. Took me an hour start to finish. I am still working bugs out. I am getting some reverb back that I think has to do with the ANC. Beat Sonic’s is trouble shooting for me. I will let you know how it goes. It does sound great though.

I had Lexus turn off the ANC the week after I got my GX.
I was told by Beatsonic that I could turn down the gain a bit and that would eliminate some of the noise if the ANC is on.
They also told me they are e working out the thump noise that he happens when you first start the car. The new ones eliminated that sound. It won't bother me.
Let me know how they eliminated the reverb.

Looking forward to your review as well. Beat Sonic says only two more units in stock. Who's grabbing them? LOL.
Try turning off the Auto Sound Levelizer feature - that was the problem in my car.
With that disabled, I can't really call the ML system hollow or tinny anymore, though I do still wish the frequency response & crossovers were tuned better.
They didn't charge me to turn off the ANC.
The noise before they turned it off was minimal but I am used to the quiet GX's I've had in the past.
I installed the Beat Sonic last Sunday. I opted to use the Velcro on the bottom the amp so I could easily remove it and adjust any settings. The Velcro really holds well onto the carpet. As a matter of fact when I tried to pull it off I had to hold down the carpet it was so strong.
Pretty easy install if you have small hands to get the factory plug out of the factory amp under the seat. I had to make a small tool to get it unlatched. You do have to remove the two front bolts on the seat and loosen the rear bolts to tip the seat back. I used a piece of wood to hold the seat tilted back. Then it's just a matter of plugging it in.
I left the amp pots turned up max as the guy in the video did. The sound is great. A really nice upgrade except I was getting a bass like sound sporadically while driving . I turned the gains on the post to the 2 O'clock position, that's the way it came, and that seemed to stop that sound. It's just not as loud with the pots turned down a bit but still I don't go above 20 because it's really loud at 15.
The amp does get warm on an hour trip but doesn't seem to be a problem. When I picked it up Eric told me that the 3 units he had in stock would produce a thump sound when you first start the car and they are addressing that with a software upgrade on the new ones. It doesn't happen every time and is so minor that it doesn't bother me at all. Most of the time I don't hear it.
The only issue is that after using it for the week It seems this morning I had to turn it up to 25 to get the sound I had when it was at 15. I haven't changed anything so I've emailed them to see if there is something reacting with the factory radio/amp/system. I have the fake engine noise turned off so that's not the problem. Other than that it's a nice upgrade.
I'll report back when they get back to me.

I also noticed this exact thing regarding the sound being much lower now
I emailed the manufacturer and they said to expect more units in two months.
Do you get a low base noise sporadically with the amp maxed out. I did. I thought it was my tires but when I turned off the he radio it quit. I changed the amps settings to the 2 O'clock position and the noise quit.
