first off, you can't just buy any regular 6x9 speakers for the rear. Our factory 6x9's are 2ohm speakers. I suggest you buy some used factory speakers to avoid any problems unless you want to do a full system upgrade.
also, you cannot access the speakers through the trunk. the rear seat must be removed (both top and bottom cushions)... from there you remove the back lid and eventually see the bolts holding the 6x9's in.

if you dont want to remove the rear seats and work this out then just leave it alone and learn to live with it. or just disconnect the rear speakers and listen only to the front speakers.
removing the rear seats is actually easier than you think.

SO many things are wrong with this IS300 (with less than 40,000 miles on it), I cant fathom that it is a Lexus. Nav wont read the map disk (Lexus never did own up to a systemic problem), leather hood on the parking brake keeps engaging it just enough to put the brake light on, rear speaker blown (I do not listen to loud music), gear shift **** glue dried out and the top came off (that was funny; how 'cheap' that solid-looking **** actually is). My favorite was when water got into a headlight ... $2200 because you can't change a headlight; you have to change the assembly.I suspect Carmax is going to have a field day with it at some point
water in the headlight will burn out the ballast. the headlight assembly is fairly cheap, its the ballast that are expensive. but still no where near 2200. check ebay for replacements.
