2)all speakers are rated 4ohm and made in vietnam
but
front speakers are
-4" HI-mid pioneer speaker (very close to old TS m5 )
-6" low band woofer speaker (very close to the woofer of the pioneer TSC 1653 kit , for sure , it is very similar :same woofer or a copy?
rear speakers are
-0.75 tweeter inverted dome in paper (no brand )
-6" woofer (no brand)
all rated for 4ohm but realy poor construction and quality
First step :13/08/15
-still with the stock HU (until the next hollydays i will repalce it with the DEXP pioneer)

The amps are not mounted yet, they will be in a few days in the trunk at the place of the tire spare . The tire spare will be replaced by an emergency puncture repair kit
The axm and all the 3 amplifiers + another battery (optima)+intelligent coopler...+DEQ processor will be together in the trunk
In fact , i am late , there was a lot of rain in my island and i couldn' do anything

Hi Ramses974,
Thank you for your post on the upgrade. You made my day by knowing it can be upgraded with a little (Lots Really) effort.. Trouble with the dealership here in the Philippines is they dont offer any upgrades with any of the Lexus NX models except bumpers and grilles. Smh.
I am planning for a minor upgrade of the front speakers. Im toying with the idea of just upgrading to a higher end component speakers. I would like to ask why you put it a custom filter on the front tweeters? is it because the TS-E1076 being 2 way to take out the midrange from the equation?
Another thing, is the Rear Back Up Camera also your aftermarket upgrade? was it just a rear camera installed on the plate lights? if so, how did you connect it to the system?
Your thoughts are highly appreciated

About the TS-E1076 it is because it is a 2 way ,to get a better midrange in tehe equation . In fact the OEM dash speaker is a Twee/mid combinaison , an open air tweeter (it was like the old pioneer TS M5, a 3.5" speaker than can go to 500hertz to 20khz).
If you can measure the audio system , mine (oem) has a litle drop in the range of (300hertz -800hertz).
The 4" 2way speaker is a cheap option to get a decent sound and a solid high range.
The rear back camera is an aftermarket upgrade , i bought a multimedia interface to car-solutions.com to add the rear camera . And the Rear camera was bought from ebay ...
Next i will add the front camera .
I have to show some pics for the next upgrade , due to the fact ,that the TSE1076 will be changed for a TS-101 PRS with a TS-T3 tweeter . I am waiting to be on hollyday to go to the shop to make the upgrade

You really know your thing mate, your choice of speakers are very specific and Of high quality. I will try to source a tse1076 if i can, if not ill just get the best pioneer 4" coaxials i can get my hands on.
Do i have to install a filter for this? Also, i noticed 4 wires coming from the socket. How do i install 4 wires into the 2 terminal speaker? Is it still necessary for me to buy a filter like the one you installed?

you will improve your staging
With the 4 wires, there are 2 wires for the 6" in the door and the other for the 3.5" but they are on the same cable

Yes you have to install a filter for this ,i chose 6db/oct due to the fact it is more easy to play with, you have to filter the midrange with a condenser in the range of 100uf until 33uf ,it will depend of your choice and your preference,mine is 100uf, to get some low frequency in the dash...
