Rx350 Speakers

Monte Carlo · September 7, 2006

Hello everyone.

I am not satisfied with the quality of the speakers in my new 2007 RX350. Does anyone have any suggestions for upgrades?

Furthermore, I live in the Fresno, CA area. Can anyone recommend a decent installer? I am willing to travel.

Thanks!

I'm a little to far from you, but I'm a great installer! B)

But I don't know anyone in the Fresno area

I am in Orange County on occasion. Do you have a recommendation for new tweeters?

Pioneer and Alpine have always been a favorite of mine as far as clarity and performance. Your RX 350 has 6½" component speakers, and I would recommend replacing them with the same type of speaker. Component speakers give a much more dynamic sound, as well as sound staging.

Here are a few suggestions for 6½" Component speaker replacements.

Option 1:

Pioneer has a new line of speakers out called their PRS line. It is their highest line speakers which sound very good.

I recommend replacing with Pioneers PRS Series 6¾" Component Speakers. The model number is TS-C720PRS.

Here is a link to Pioneer's product page.

I would recommend amplifying these speakers with Pioneer's 4 channel amplifier - Model Number GM-6200F. Here is a link to Pioneer's product page.

Option 2:

Alpine has a set of similar 6½" Component Speakers which also sound phenomenal. The model number is SPR-17LS. They are Alpine's Type-R speaker (top of 3 lines - with the exception of their Type-X line - which is for custom staged vehicles and show cars at $3,500 per pair

I would suggest amplifying these speakers with this Alpine amp. Model number MRP-F450. Here is a linke to Alpine's product page.

If you want to follow this setup with a subwoofer to complete the system, I can recommend a few options. You probably don't want to be setting off car alarms with your stereo :D , but I can recommend something nice to give that extra emphasis with your music (nothing that will overwhelm your speakers).

I will PM you with pricing information, or you can PM me or e-mail me at MobileVideoSpecialists@cox.net.
