Mine has the factory grill on the front door
There is no way these pioneers fit the front door of the lx450 without spacers. I ended up using the screws from the old speakers as spacers. You can use them to back out the speakers just the right amount to get it away from the window channel/slide. I used a business card as a feeler gauge to test gap between back of speaker and channel. I also tore of a piece of cardboard from speaker box and taped it to window channel to isolate it. I filled the gap between speaker and door panel with weather stripping, the gap created by using old screws as a spacer. I also lined front doors with second skin dynamite type product, really happy w that makes a huge difference. While I was at it, also replaced the rubber in ds door (should have just cleaned old one) ended up having to replace motor for ds window, $40 at NAPPA compared to $300 at local stealership !! Also had to replace the plastic sheet that covers door inside door panel. Bought some 4 mil painters drop cloth, cut to size and duct taped on, better than original !!
I also just bought a small Leoai amp, $25 on eBay and a pair of 3 1/2" pioneer speakers. This will be wired directly to battery for power. Mounting speakers on lower outer edges of rear tailgate with amp in rear as a seperate stand alone stereo for tailgating.
