Just bought a pair of them Alpine SPS-171As! £53.99 Delivered on ebay. Brand new and never fitted to his car. He had good feedback so will see what they are like when they arrive! Next question, who would like to help me install them at the meet? And don't be shy people! :winky:

I may have an analogue in car Tv aerial. I never got round to installing my Tv tuner and sold the motorised housing.

Im guessing you connect the existing cables to the new stuff. I don't wanna do anything I can't undo should I sell the car in the near future. I could be wrong though. Sure Dj Wozza will be able to answer all soon...

Well its two weeks away so fingers crossed everyone can make it! :)

My thoughts exactly. Would almost certainly look different to others. Think they both look good though.

Excellent, cheers dude. Will be hunting for these at a bargain price! Just out of interest.....how long did it take you to do? Im thinking if I sort something out before the meet I can appeal to everyones better nature in hope for a hand! ;)

Some good pics on Lexus.com

thanx 4 reply but kinda hoping sum1 cud fix it 4me has not very gud wiv soldering and electrics Or the use of the english language... Would imagine someone who has had this problem will be along shortly to offer some slightly more constructive advice :P

If you're a regular mate then go for it, see if they will do the same for us on the 1st. Can't remember why I put in on the floor, I think I was helping Mr Morse do something with the led brake lamps... My Clumsy comes round and boots my pint glass over! lol. Im still mentally scarred! :shutit:

This cold weather can kill batteries. Im in the opinion its more likely to be your battery than alternator, however I don't have the knowledge on cars like Tyger does.

Sweet head unit! Bet that looks sweet installed. I have a pioneer retro fit iPod module for some Pioneer stereos. Not sure which ones it works with as I was given it to sell. Will dig the part number out and see if its of any use.

Im with you, so does the stock setup not have these? Or they do but its best to use the new ones? The stereo is about the only thing i've not played with...as you can probably tell! Does the look of the tweet look any different to the OEM one? Or can you not tell its been changed?

I have these Alpine SPS-171A Components in mine I know of at least 2 other LOC members have them (both of those with the standard set-up, mine are amped) Here is a pic of the Alpine tweeter inside the Lexus Tweeter grill With Co-Axials the tweeter will be in the bottom of the door, it won't sound anywhere near as good as similar components. BTW you should be able to get these now for about £70-£80 (more when I bought them So, what are them black boxes Wozza? Where do they go/connect to? Thinking about it, it makes perfect sense to have the tweeter exactly where the existing one is, im not sure why I thought otherwise :duh:

Excellent! You've been added as a possible! :D

You trying to steal my thunder Rob?! Honestly, you werent happy with kicking my pint over last time! lol. Neah, you can do dude, meant to do it the other night and forgot!

Little more than I wanted to spend, I plan on getting my clutch done soon. Know I said Im not sure on how long im keeping the car but i'll be doing a road trip to France and surrounding so don't want that to go! Shame that Halfords site has just stopped working on me so can't show what I had in mind!

Could I install 3-way speakers in? Or would they not work with the existing setup? Sorry to be so dumb! What about these? click me

Why not just organise another in about a month? :winky:

Not a hug amount, Im throwing money on a car I may not have in 12 months time, although I know their is nothing stopping me taking the speakers out. Is it difficult to replace the speakers or just a case of clipping off the bezel, unscrew several screws and out she comes? more like-door panel off,drill rivets out off speaker mounts ,put new speakers in,put door panel back on,job done more or less Even thats making me think twice! Im guessing the door card is fixed at the handle and clips to the rest of the door? or is their plenty of other screws?

They look nice! Reckon I just want something plug and play...im getting lazy and can't be bothered with the tweeters. If the rear ones didn't take even more effort and didn't require adapters for the speakers to fix to, id do them as well.

Not a huge amount, Im throwing money on a car I may not have in 12 months time, although I know their is nothing stopping me taking the speakers out. Is it difficult to replace the speakers or just a case of clipping off the bezel, unscrew several screws and out she comes?

Yeah, i'll be keeping the standard HU and existing setup. Just wanna get a clearer/less distorted sound under medium to heavy power output, if that makes sense. With a component set do you need to replace the tweeters?

Whats the difference with components? What advantage does this have? Or is it mainly for install to match up easier to my existing OEM connections?

Been thinking of replacing the speakers in the 200. The front ones more so as I think I can hear a rattle or distortion every now and then. Had a quick peek online and most sites don't have a cross reference for a IS200. Some list the IS300 and some of those that list the 300 have no recommendations! So whats your suggestions? What am I looking out for? Don't really wanna spend a huge amount but something thats a little clearer than the existing ones is what im after.... Also, what are they like to fit? Cheers in advance! :D Seen these, will they fit? Infinity Reference 6022si 6-1/2"

Another member did mine so not sure what to do. Im sure we could figure it out by looking at mine. We'll have a go!
