Wondering what size should I buy for the front and rear tweeters and speakers? And any recommendation for the IS? Thanks a lot guy!

If you are still on the factory amp, with good functioning tweeters, there's no need for getting any others. In fact, if you get another set that isn't the exact factory spec (ohms/watt/size/etc) could downgrade the sound quality.

Just my $.02

can a subwoofer be hooked up to the factory amp? or would I still have to get another amp?

Thanks for the input, I'm definitely gonna run aftermarket amp for the the speakers or tweeters, just don't know what size or what brand would fit perfect on the IS.

You need another amp to drive another subwoofer
And to the op I would replace what's still working cause Lexus speakers are on par to most 300 buck component sets. If they happen to blow then explore swapping them out for some Polk audio/mb quart/ or alpine speakers in the doors but you wasting time and money swapping tweeters

you should have heard mine today at BOS. I had factory speakers (non ML) before with a JL Audio 12W6 and I waned more do I upgraded the front mids and highs. Rears are mostly just fill.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...with-pics.html

What if i want to stay OEM, where could i get the speakers and tweeters from... Just replace the damaged ones and put new ones in...

Thanks.

So how would I go about hooking up an amp and sub without replacing the head unit. I want to keep the dash looking stock.

I've heard other members using a JL Audio Cleansweep, but I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives to accomplish your goal.

As other members mentioned, the mids and highs in Lexus system are on par if not better than the good after market ones. This is also one reason I chose Lexus IS over other similar cars.

I highly recommend you upgrading the sub-woofer set up instead. Specifically, I'm running this JL Audio 500/1 and 10W3v3 subwoofer together with the factory Lexus mids and highs and extremely happy with the result. It blends so well with the system and if you get a remote bass leveler (not bass boost control), you can control and fine tune the bass of each specific song. The bass is so damn tight, accurate, responsive and clean.

If you happen to live in Southern California, talk to Tommy@MusicBox because he is a audio pro! He recommended that upgrade and installed it for me.

hey Mark, I really dont need that much bass, all I need is for the high pitch,cuz I always listen to Chinese songs

Seriously, the highs in Lexus system is more than enough. Adjust the treble boost to highest, turn the volume higher, those high can kill your ears in seconds.

Also, I listen to Chinese, Korean pop... too and the quality of Lexus factory mids and highs are adequate to handle those songs. Make sure your MP3 have high quality in the first place.

Kim, just listen to CD's cause those sound crisper and cleaner.
