Default Mark Levinson - # Speakers

I count 12 speaker grills on the 2009 Levinson as follows : dash - 3, front doors - 2, rear doors - 4 and rear deck - 3. Where are the extra 2 speakers?

You have 5 in the dash, it's 2 tweeters, 2 midrange, and 1 center speaker. two front door 4 rear door, and 3 rear deck.

Hope that makes sense

Good call, that's most definitely a IS-series car.... You can tell by the curves on the outline!

Yes, It's suppose to be more, you have a midrange in the corner where the tweeters are in the front. So that's the 2 extra. (yes, it really does make a difference for a 3-4in speaker)....

On another note, is it okay if I ask one of you to take out that front and measure how big the midrange is? I've been in the market for some Hertz 3-ways and want to make sure it's a DIRECT fit. mids and highs are directional so it's very important I make sure there's enough spacing for them.

Thanks! (would definitely help save us some space taken up.

Rear speaker is a 6.5in. If you're doing a direct drop-in (Lexus OEM), it isn't hard. If you're wanting to use aftermarket speakers, you will have to buy speaker adaptors.

Default Speaker 1

Speaker 1 on dashboard is making crackling noise, like it is getting ready to blow out. Where is the best place to get it fixed and how much usually at dealer or from someone else?

Try e-bay as I have seen a few on there recently. I have three of the left and right dash mid/tweeter ML speakers sitting around, but none of the center channel speakers.
