Ls Rear Speaker

[swfcdan]

good day all, dont think ive poster in here before

anyways my dad has a LS430 (great car), its on a H plate and the rear speaker in the back (think its the big one in the centre of the parcel shelf) has started to crackle. i think it may have blown.

has anyone else had this problem and if so how much is he roughly looking to pay to fix it. if its going to be big bucks he wont bother as hes going to be buying the new LS when its out.

thanks in advance

This tutorial might help.

http://www.lexls.com is a pretty good resource.

I managed to blow my sub yesterday (I think) after I was perhaps a little too eager with some new toonz!

It crackles on every bass note and I fear I may have ripped it.

The tutorial is for an LS400. Is an LS430 pretty much the same?

What with the weatcher I have been holding back taking anything apart.

old post!

Yeh we fixed it, cant remember how much the speaker was, but it was a pretty straightforward job.

Hi!

Well when I eventually had a closer look it seems I DIDN"T blow it after all - just that the sealant had died, so I used some gunk a friend recommended and kinda sealed it back down.

Have to wait 24 hours before I test it out - but I think it should be OK.

I will reduce the bass a few notches though!

Thanks for your help and I will let you know how it goes...
