Hello,
I know there is topic about this. But i couldn't find it. just bought 04 SC430 and frond door speakers "I think they are blew". I went to Frys and they suggest Polk 6x9 4 ohm. Factory speakers are 8 ohms. I was wonder anyone has replaced them before with different ohms.
If so, what brand and model that works.. thanks much

I recently replaced the large speaker in the driver's side door. After searching for a decent replacement, I finally bit the bullet and went to the dealer. I have an 05 with Mark Levenson system and, once I had the new speaker, it was a snap to get it in! The difference was amazing! Moral of the story: Stay with OE.

It is very common for those speakers to stop working properly without getting blown. What happens is the circular outer rubber comes loose. There is a $20 method to repair it. For my SC ALL the speakers were "blown". There's tutorials on youtube on how to repair it but the guy shows for a lexus ls430. Youtube repair lexus speakers.

I had the same problem with my 2002 SC430. I got them repaired (re-foamed) here is Hollywood for $45 each. Google speaker repair in your area (re-foam, re-edge).

I re foamed mine and they sound better, but I came from having a car with a couple thousand dollar stereo in it, so they still aren't great for me. I may end up replacing them all.

This is one of the threads on speakers for the Mark Levinson system: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...n-success.html
Its been quite a while since I had the front speakers re-coned at a top-drawer car stereo shop. I'm still very happy with the result!![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Good luck to all on this issue and Cheers!
