Default OEM Radio Unit with aftermarket speakers?

Hello CL World, Was wondering if I can have my OEM radio unit, I am leaving the subwoofer stock, and Im replacing the stock speakers with aftermarket speakers. I already have all wires running to the center console. Can someone shed down some knowledge to this hungry learning fool? thank you!

do yourself a favor and swap out the HU and bypass the factory amp completely.

If you wanted new speakers it would have just been easier to use the existing wiring. Just get some wiring clips for the new speakers. But honestly you should get a new headunit too.

Look at this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...b-working.html

That thread is VERY useful. Did the 4 interior speakers about 5 years ago, and the head unit last year. The car is a puzzle alright. Do a new headunit while you are at it.
