This speaker fits nicely in the LX450 subwoofer location. I screwed mine to the metal panel under the subwoofer grill/cover. Sound is clear for both passenger and driver.
GMRS or HAM in your 80's ashtray? What fits?

Good idea.
If you just have a LC you can also wire communications to the 2 small speakers on the lower corners of the dash.

That's a great idea!

I was just investigating this very same setup last week! (Handheld isn't cutting it)

It's not VGA. It's a serial port for programming the V71A.Jonheld, I have the same speakers

Years ago I took a speaker like that, cut off the back, drilled a small hole in the worthless cup/whatever thingy for the speaker line. Just used a small bead of silicone making that cubby spot a speaker in some senses. Worked great.
It's really a great unit and extremely robust. I thought the lack of a front firing speaker would be a issue, but it's just not a problem unless I'm at highway speed with all the windows down. In that case, I don't want to talk to anyone anyway...VGA = 15pin; Serial/Com = 9pin
I like that radio @jonheld
Yes, I wired up the small lower dash speakers and connected them to a plug that I cut off a cheap external speaker that terminates in my center console where my radio(s) are mounted. I can plug in either CB (which has since been removed) GMRS, or 2M depending on what is needed for that trail ride.
Always use a remote speaker for best performance
