Upgrading Speakers Is200

[Chrisr102]

Hi guys,

Just a quick one, Can the rear speakers on the IS 200 be upgraded? Mine has the Amp behind the Glovebox,

Even though the standard speakers do sound very good I was thinking of changing them as one of my speakers is crackling a little

I am planning on replacing my rear stock speakers next weekend. Will let you know how It goes...

How did you get on with changing them?

Hi Ryan,

Sorry, I forgot to update you in this thread. Instead, I added the pics to my existing thread. ( http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/87738-new-pics-of-my-is200/page-4 )

Anyway, I didnt take any pics during the install, but took a pic of the speaker I used. Perhaps you could get the same ones - they fitted perfectly in the stock locations and sound pretty decent too!

EDIT : Here's a walkthrough to assist you further. --> http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/30854-upgrading-oem-69s/

I have upgraded almost all the speakers and ditched the factory amp. Also have done bit sound damping :) Will post later some pictures. I have to say that upgrading sound for me seems like endless road, always looking to improve :D

and are the improvement a noticeable difference?

To me its huge difference, because music stays inside the car not screams outside :)

Some pics of my install so far:

In front I used Morel Tempo 6, sub is going to be Audio System HX 10 SQ and for now theres not going to be any speakers in the back. Amps are Audison srx1 and Spl DynamicsTC-704. Would like to change headunit also, but no money :D

Looking good, the sound damping looks like some sort of space ship or an illegal grow of some sort of plant ;)

Wow - thats some good work man. I love the work you have done with the front spacers and the Dynamat. Very meticulous work!

Thanks guys! I'm aiming towards SQ, but we'll see what comes out of this :D Trying to figure out how to hide amp's and not to lose much space. I need all the space I can get from that little trunk. :D
