[IS200] Recommend replacement 6x9's for the back shelf?
[IS200] Recommend replacement 6x9's for the back shelf?
I really CBA to go down the amp + sub route, and realise I won't get 6x9's sounding like a sub, but would like a pair that can handle and kick out some low end. Music is mainly rock, but my iPod varies widely in genre
Also, do I need any special spec's in regard to wiring in (I have no idea what terminals the stock speakers use) or ohm rating, in order to be fine with the stock on-board amp?
I know they need brackets - either made from MDF or buy in from eBay US - but what speakers would be recommended to replace the stock ones? Mine are rattling/buzzing with even the slightest of , and to be honest, the system overall is lacking some low end.

Clearly this introduces a problem as 99% of 6x9's only use 2 wires.
There was a set made by MB Quart that would have worked but I have no idea if they are still made?

16-07-2019, 07:39 AM #4MB Quart PVI 269 are the speakers I was thinking of - should be usable as a direct replacement for OEM rears.

Thanks. Only thing I can find for those are PVL 269's, but they seem to be a 6x9 and a separate tweeter?

If you only use a normal 6x9 then you will loose either the bass or the treble.

All you do is connect them up as you would any other speaker - bass oem wires to to the 6x9 and treble oem wires to the tweeter. You never join the OEM +'s and -'s together - that won't work possibly blow your amp..... This is why you loose the x over the Lexus amp has an inbuilt x-over thus the 4 wires.
