you will do well to get an aftermarket speaker with the same impedance's as the stock speakers as they are a very strange configuration.
did the existing one just fail or have you damaged it??

wound it up with a bit of dance music (bass on 0 treble on +1 mid on 0 fader on 0 and volume half way round) , you should hear it now it sounds terrible any bass in any song sounds like a very very cheap stereo and thats with the bass down to -2 and the fade +3 at the front . looks like its off to the dealers and pay the price of DANCE MUSIC ! (mind you when it was working it sounded *****)

no matey the one speaker you kindly gave me is fine its the other back one of mine thats buggerd got a quote and they wanted £130 + vat (for one) so i thought i might try your root (but without the sub) did they fit straight in (screw holes , etc ?) and how did you compensate for the quiter sound ? (not inc the sub) .as for leeds i have to much on this weekend (well the missus has) so have a good un` . cheers . jon .

Please, whatever you do, do not buy a speaker from lexus if its £130 for one. No offence but you could do alot better from a Shop that specialises in that stuff. Believe me, and getting a sub? Very good choice.
