The large rear speaker your referring to in the rear is the "SUBWOOFER"! I think its an 8 inch. You can use any sub as long as its the correct ohms. Try any auto stereo store and mount it yourself.

Actually you can't use "ANY" sub. It has to be an infinite baffle sub to work properly in that opening. Subs rely on an air chamber to function properly. If that air chamber is too large you'll see hardly any bass from the sub.

You can get a pioneer infinite baffle from Crutchfield, even though their prices are kinda high. You'll probably have to order the sub since most stores don't stock this kind of subwoofer. I believe JL also makes a INF BAF sub that's 8" Alot of people have said it improves bass response over stock. Might wanna check that if you're replacing the old one.

"JL AUDIO" free air sub requires no box. Just make sure your using the correct size to the area to get the bass response.

Thanks everyone for the advice.I checked The speaker sites,went to circut city.And a local custom sound shop.the best I could do was 115.00,For a dffrent make speaker that would have had to have other holes drilled.My local Lexus dealer wanted 218.00 for the speaker.I ordered it from the steel frog for 158.00
