@Robles84. Have you finished your install yet? Also if i may suggest...you should do 6.5 in front and stick to 4 in rear. This would be better for a fuller Soundstage.

Im about to do this this coming weekend. I'll see if I have some clearance issues with the factory bracket/box modified to fit a larger woofer (The comp set ill be using will be these Hybrid Audio Unity). In case I do, and I have done this with my previous GS430, I just cut away the back portion of the factory bracket since most mid bass drivers are perfectly fine free-air. I'll see if I can post pics of the install and any issues/snags I will encounter.

used an MDF bracket and ditched the OEM Speaker housings. Worked out pretty well i think.

Facebook link wasnt working for me...so i wasnt able to see your pics.
Also, good deal on the adapters you posted. Im sure it was just a *typo when you said MDF bracket..because the linked units seems to be machined pvc. (superior to mdf likely anyhow)

i am pretty sure they are MDF, and not pvc. either way they have been in the car for 3 years now and I have no complaints. My install pictures are also here (fronts) -> http://www.speaker-installation-photos.com/Lexus/GS/GS-12/
and here (rears) -> http://www.speaker-installation-phot...exus/GS/GS-13/
