Nice work! Came across this video trying to upgrade my 06 GS300 speakers. I’m still on with my 16 RX speakers for now. Hope the Lexus is still pushing clean
I'm surprised the door contains such a enclosure like cavity. The doors of vessels I'd upgraded before were so wack. Thus, I've embraced things like JBL GO2 pair in wiring harness stereo. They legit sound like normal sized bookshelf speakers on a desk, in the small cockpit environment. Windscreen is like an acoustic lens. I just wedge them in to the dash/windshield in a triangular configuration relative to my head (drivers pointed at face) and play pink noise while I adjust the L/R balance until the imaging is centered. 1'st test flight I cried, and didn't even yearn for a sub. Plz steal muh tech car makers.
@@Kpaceguy lexus has great audio systems, I was shocked by the audio system when I first heard them in the lexus, my mom had a 4runner and a rav4 and the audio system in was pretty good, the rav4 tho its trash, I can't stand it tbh
No it really is trash. 8 speakers and a sub and it doesn't sound much better than a Kia factory system. So yes, upgrade. I've upgraded heavily on this car and disconnected the sub in the back hatch
Ok so… I wanna replace my front door speakers in my 2014 is350 ( mark levinson premium) but there’s no aftermarket replacement that will fit, crutchfield has brackets for that? Also, do you recommend a sound processor being that little by little I’m gonna eventually replace all of my speakers? I was thinking audio control’s.. which one do you recommend? Your video was really informative, thank you!
There are aftermarket speakers that will fit you just need to get brackets that change the shape to fit the factory opening. Crutchfield has some as well as speakers. I checked for you as well. I love my audio control but I didn't have the mark Levinson so I'd wait until you get all your new speakers and if you don't like the sound then get the audio Control and make your own changes
I’m having the same issue. When I put my is350 w ml system in crutchfield they tell me they don’t have anything that fits….I ordered some I read on a forum and they didn’t work either. About to have to go the custom route and cut some myself.
How did the 3 dash speaker upgrade go? Which focal model worked? I heard that 4 inch infinity speakers don't fit and need to cut plastic for fit (club lexus post)
The focals I used in this series worked perfectly. It's a 4in midrange from factory but the screw holes are weirdly positioned BUT the focals happened to fit the exact same way so everything was basically plug n play
@@Kpaceguy Thank you for the reply! Did those speakers require an amp? I am trying to replace the speakers only and use stock (premium nav fsport power).
@Martin Wood they don't require one but to get the most of it you'll want one. The factory radio still has its limitations regardless of the speakers you connect to it. So even if you buy more capable speakers, they still are held back by the head unit which is why I bought a processor
@@Kpaceguy yeah that’s baller! I’m Going to try and swap for a sensitive pair and Get some highs in the mix. I have treble maxed out on stock premium deck lol
Where did you get the wire adapter harness for dash corner speakers? I have the same car but i cant find the adapter harness to replace dash corner speakers. Thanks !
@@DesmondKarani there's not enough low bass to come through that I would ever notice. The only reason for repair would be to prevent it from splitting larger. A replacement is under warranty

Your new SUV Is a real looker. The finish on the paint job looks brand new.
Oh yes and I'll do everything to keep it that way! Just put a protective coating on every inch today
Damn I see u ripped the foam ring on the speaker during the install.
Keep the install clean. Take your time and do it right... I know the build will be awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product...
I appreciate it my friend
@@Kpaceguy You're welcome 💯

wow you upgraded, nice 4 channel and dsp. you can ditch those component crossovers since your dsp will have better control
not necessarily. i may need more channels than what the DSP will give which i'll need the crossovers to achieve that
@@Kpaceguy i see, you need a 12 channel dsp which is not cheap
@@rowboyto156 correct
Do the sound deadening mate on ur doors, trust me its worth, lexus already have great one, but music will sound much better with extra.
I put some in there
Just send me the stock speakers to the lexus so I can put them in my friends 2020 rav4😂😂
Stock speakers truly aren't bad. The EQ is lol

Lol I appreciate it man
The sound system on the nx200t is trash. 3 out of 10 in my opinion. Give me the excuse for a upgrade lol

@@Kpaceguy yeah I paid for premium too and it’s definitely mid

Yo! Is there a speaker where the rear window is located? I have no sound in the back
Open your trunk and look
Where did you get the wire adapter harness for dash corner speakers? I have the same car but i cant find the adapter harness to replace dash corner speakers. Thanks !
Crutchfield should have them.
@@Kpaceguy I tried finding the wire adapter harness on Crutchfield and I cannot. Are you able to provide a link?
@Alan Nguyen put the speaker you desire in the cart and it'll automatically ask if you want the harness and such
What size are the door speakers?
6.5
Is the first speaker's rubber surround burst..? 🤔
No there's a tear in it. It was human error
@@Kpaceguy won't that be a source of unwanted resonances, albeit subtle..?
