No offense taken whatsoever. I was just curious as to what bells and whistles you were referring to. The ISF does a lot well and is a very well appointed sport sedan, ample power, good handling ,sport luxury and most important Lexus reliability.
I have a 2012 Lexus ISF 17K miles and I am not sure what horrible ding dong bell notifications and alerts you are talking about??? the only notification I am aware while driving is a beep just before redline to inform you to pull another gear. Is this what you are referring to?
Perhaps a Sanders ESL or Magtech amp will give you the power you desire. Not sure of the sonic signature on the CLX that would be a matter of personal taste .
FrantzM , I can certainly appreciate the Live at The Sands album after hearing it in a late night listening session with the Scaena setup at Axpona / Atlanta 2011.
I was listening to Frank in the room what an experience!
TheNerds.net has these on their site for $806.00 if anyone is interested in getting one. The site says they have 50 in stock its the best price I have seen on these.
I thought that was a good deal so I ordered one although I have yet to hear one. I figured its at least good enough for an office...
