I just fixed my rear sub with a gluegun. Took about 40 mins.
I have a 2001 LX470 and am trying to replace all the speakers. Does anybody know if I need 8 Ohm or 2 Ohm 6.5s? It seems from this thread I need 8 Ohms, but the shop that I went into to ask about my options indicated that I needed 2 Ohm speakers. Having trouble getting a straight answer.
I have, whats up ?
Just looking to see what speakers and sub people used
My '05 has JBL GX608C 6.5" on all four corners with a Kicker 10" enclosed sub in the rear (all from Best Buy). The system sounds pretty good, but is ultimately limited by the head unit. The tweeter location in the rear doors really helps to increase the mids and lows even while sitting in the front seats.
You can see some pics of the install here...Michel M Mitias
Thanks for the link Michel, very impressive!
I ordered the foam replacement and am just going to go that route. I'm honestly thinking of just fixing a couple of the smaller quirks and selling this. I feel the LX is too engrained into old technology, and this one is too clean and original to become a trail rig.

I checked your pics but didn't see the sub install, can you use the sub you got with the factory amp on the ML system? My factory sub blew for the second time and I want an aftermarket setup, as close to plug and play as possible. Have a lead on an option from a helpful member but curious about your setup as well.
I have a 2003 LX with the Levinson System but ordered Infinity 6.5" speaker for the rears by listening to crutchfield.com.
I thought no big deal. Find a LC speaker pod and replace the ML pod. Nope. Shape of the speaker pod is different.
CARP!
To not let a stupid plan go to waste, I constructed these:
They sound great but I believe they are held back by the high crossover points the ML amp is sending to the rear.
These are not hard to construct with a modern jigsaw. They would be trivial to construct if you have a table router and router bit talked about here :
Anyone ever fit a Nakamichi speaker box in an ML rear door? I'm wondering if I can source one of these and use it as a speaker box for some aftermarket 6.5" speakers. These would repalce the 4" + tweeter boxes that came w/ my '06 ML system. Eyeballing the images the bolt holes and shapes seem to line up
