hi all

im thinking of changing the speakers etc in my is200 se but i want it to look standard so i was wondering what my options would be and how would i go about it?

You can go aftermarket headunit and a doible din one would look nice. I would only upgrade the front speakers and put a sub in the back

cheers mate iv already got an aftermarket headunit in it coz of the err3 error but it was only an old one i had lying around.As for front speakers and subs how easy are they to fit and what would you recommend?

it will look standard because the speaker covers are moulded ino the door cards. take the door cards off drill out the rivets of the old speakers replace with new speakers and screw them in, door cards back on job done apart from wiring which is easy enough.

i think all you would have to do is cut the block connector off and split the wires and fit the female spad connectors to it

BUT THIS IS ONLY A GUESS CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG

Ok so there is two ways of doing it :

1) Cut the connector off the old speaker with enough wire attached to connect it to the new speaker wiring then connect to the exsisting connector on the loom.

2) Cut the connector off the loom that go in to the car so you can connect the wires that way.

What ever you do DONT USE SCOTCH LOCKS

Right behind the Battery, you should have a hole in the wall where there is some wires going trough. Of course there is a rubber thingy there to seal of. I just made a small hole in it so that i managed to pull the power cable through, and then used sillicone around it to be sure that nothing leaks through. Then I layed the power cable under the covers in the doorstep all the way back and removed the rear seats, there are holes there where you can pull the cable trough.

Do is200s have tweeters as standard and if so how do you connect then to aftermarket speakers or do they run off a separt feed??

Also what make are standard speakers?
