I'm not an audiophile, I was always more concerned about going fast and looking good than sound. The factory stereos in all of my previous vehicles have been more than adequate, until now. The (assuming original) speakers in my 2007 LC are blown, I can't even listen to NPR at an audible volume without awful distortion. The wife says it needs to be sorted, I don't trust car audio shops so here I am.
I know there are threads pertaining to speaker replacement (and I will refer to them for installation) but what I'm looking for is a recommendation on which speakers and other needed components to choose. My LC came with a JL amp, same one that Crutchfield has here. It is originally a no nav model but had an aftermarket touch screen head unit installed (all I know is that it's Android based). It probably will eventually get upgraded to something with Apple Car Play but that's way down the road.
So, I think I want/need new speakers everywhere. I'd like to make use of my amp and get speakers that make the most out of it. My only requirement is that the speakers are only heard, not seen, and will be behind the factory covers. Sorry, no 12's in a custom box here I am considering one of @BenCC 's sub panels but the fact that the sub has no protection makes me a bit nervous.
Any suggestions? I really appreciate the advice!
