Default 93 LS with Nak system, where to get O.E.M. speakers

Hey guys! I'm about to buy a 93 LS with low mileage and extremely well maintained. The only issue the car has is that all the speakers, except the driver's door, are blown. It does have the Nak system. Can anyone tell me where can i get some oem speakers for it? Thanks!

buy aftermarket speakers, better quality and far cheaper than the factory speakers.

Aftermarket speakers will give you a much better sound. and the OEM speakers are paper and very expensive. you can upgrade as well without any modifications.

I found these Boston Acoustics on sale off of crutchfield.com on 50% off for $40! From reading multiple forums on here i've only heard great things about them! http://www.crutchfield.com/p_065SE45...45.html?tp=105

These look like a great buy i would go ahead and jump on them if they fit. I have a 99 which had a Nak system in it an i took the whole thing out and went ahead and replaced it but it was a hassle to do so if just buying new speakers will fix your needs i would suggest doing that and Boston-Acoustics is a good brand. you can also check http://www.sonicelectronix.com i have gotten alot of my stuff from there and there cheaper most of the time.
I also have the 99 oem Nak speakers sitting around not sure if they fit but if they do and you want to go the oem route we could work something out.

Are you sure that all the speakers except that one are bad and that it is not an amp, head unit or wire harness problem? How could 6 of the 7 speakers go bad?

I believe it might me a head unit problem since only the speakers on the driver side and sub work and if I turn the fader to the left there is barely some sound. The speakers that work though still sound in pretty bad shape.

When the passenger side door speakers started to fade away and then stopped working completely four or five years ago, I sent my 2000 LS400 Nakamichi head unit (I had verified that my amp was OK) to http://www.carstereohelp.com/ in Florida. They fixed it by resoldering the balance control.

Not that the cause of your problem is the same.

Unfortunately, they no long repair our head units. I'm going check all the wiring from the amp to see if it is sending a signal to all of the speakers which would then leave me to believe it is a definite head unit problem. I think a double din head unit would be the better way to go since i plan to put my old system in.

BigRon,
If the speakers make sound but it it distorted then the foam surrounds may be rotted out. This is a very easy fix that you can do yourself. Just FYI......

I highly doubt that's what it is since the passenger side tweeter, and door speakers have no sound going to them, I believe Kansas is right on the money with the problem i'm having.

Do you guys think this harness from crutch field will work with the stock amp?

I seriously doubt it will. Have you looked behind the stock radio and seen all the wires plugged into it?

Thats probably for some model lexus or mainly toyotas.
