Default Blown speaker on rear deck 2008 GS460

I repaired the Subwoofer on the rear deck with a Foam Edge Repair Kit from Simply Speakers.. Decent size job taking the back seat out! Now the passenger side speaker on the rear deck is crackling!! Can it be repaired or do I need to buy a new speaker?? I have the Mark Levinson system but Simply Speakers says they don't sell speakers that fit the GS460??? Help!

Not sure the size but see no reason why you can't put in a replacement in that frame.

My rear sub was blown so I just dropped this one in. Sounds great for $50


New 10" subwoofer. Peeled the rubber ring from the old frame and put in on the bottom of the new sub. The wire connectors just screwed on.

Reused the old gasket and just dropped it in. I suppose you can also silicone it but i havent had any issues so far.

My old one was completely blown and was shorting out the entire sound system so yes, it sounds infinitely better better. But yeah, it sounds great plus was cheap and easy to swap. A few other guys on the facebook group did it as well

Do you know if there are any videos on how to remove the backseat?? Unfortunately the only way to get to the speakers!
