80 series Landcruiser/Lexus LX450 speaker upgrade

In this video I show the steps I took to upgrade the old and tired factory speakers from my 1997 Lexus LX450, in the front I used a set of 6.5” Pioneer TS-G145R and for the rears I used a set of 4” Pioneer TS-F1034R, overall this was a great inexpensive way to upgrade the speakers in my truck an although it was a tight fit the outcome was great and I would highly recommend this upgrade!!

Right there with ya. Only the in dash pair and sub left to go.

I’m working on a replacing the center council subwoofer right now, I’m actually replacing the whole enclosure with a 5.5inch subwoofer with two passive radiators, working on that video but it’s taking me for ever to complete because I have brand new twins lol

Twins AND a 450. You have your hands full sir!@@carsnstuff6022

thanks for posting this video this helped me a lot to replace my speakers that were totality dry rotted. i replaced the factory radio with a modern Atoto F7 and hoping will re-purpose the factory sub with a 8" in the future.

[@carsnstuff6022]

Yes for sure, I’m glad it helped you, it’s alway nice to see that people get value from the videos I post, i just posted one for a aftermarket JVC head unit however my next video will be of a really cool subwoofer install and factory amp replacement I did on my truck, I should have it out in the next week or two, I’m working on producing better videos but it’s a learning curve and takes a while lol

I'm updating the speakers in the car as well as a new touch stereo. The question is, do I need to by pass the amp as some indicate in forums or can I just rewire speakers and receiver?

[@carsnstuff6022]

so there are 3 choices, you can use the factory AMP, I don't recommend that option because you might get a humming sound, you can bypass the amp and wire the speakers directly to your new head unit or you can replace the factory amp with a aftermarket amp which will also delete your center subwoofer, easiest option is wire your speakers directly to the head unit and you won't get that humming sound.

[@NigelNaughton]

I bet it sounds a lot better. If I'm not mistaken, your Lexus has a subwoofer in the center console, doesn't it?

[@carsnstuff6022]

yes it does, I don't need a ton of bass but I want a bit more, I'm still undecided on which route I'm going to take to upgrade that but for now replacing those speakers made a huge difference in the quality of sound, and the final fit and finish came out great just like OEM which is what I was going for.

[@theos6457]

What the speaker in the first shot passenger side under the airbag?

[@carsnstuff6022]

so the first set of speakers are the front door speakers and the second smaller speakers are the rear door speakers

[@theos6457]

Right but the one under the glove box?

[@carsnstuff6022]

@@theos6457 yeah so the LX450 has some speaker on the dashboard one on each side, o haven’t messed with them yet but I believe they are 2.5” I don’t believe the Landcruiser has them although some models have some in the headliner in the back
