Mile_High_Flyer Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 I have just bought a right hand drive 2006 LS460. A fairly basic model. The rear radio speakers. There are the small ones in the rear doors, presumably they are basically tweeters. Are there other speakers in the rear? There are a couple of areas in the roof above the passenger heads that might be speakers, or might be something to do with the HVAC system, plus a couple more areas on the rear parcel shelf, each side of the sub. Are any of these speakers, or are they all part of the HVAC? My rear door speakers work, but of course they aren't giving high quality sound, or volume. It's not a Mark Levinson! Cheers.
TrevC Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Hi Keith Have you got any pictures of the areas in question? Cheers Trevor
Mile_High_Flyer Posted August 6, 2016 Author Posted August 6, 2016 Hi Trevor. The attached photo shows the "Speaker Grille" above rear passenger's head, if that's what it is. The ones on the parcel shelf are definitely part of the HVAC system because you can feel air going both ways, depending on settings, but there is no indication of air through these grilles. They do look like speakers, but there is very little depth in which to fit speakers. Cheers , Keith.
pj8708 Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 High Kieth, I'm confused. From one angel it' looks like the rear passenger area or the cargo area of the RX. The passenger pic shows the grill for a sub-woofer. Then this is really puzzling. The pic also shows another ac vent which is on the ceiling placed near the ceiling Trevor, do you know any more about this!
Mile_High_Flyer Posted August 7, 2016 Author Posted August 7, 2016 Hi Paul. It is the left side of the LS 460, looking towards the rear. The dark area on the right is the rear door, the dark area at the bottom is the rear window, both areas have the blinds up. The square area partly out of the photo at the top, is the drop down, lighted, vanity mirror, and the rectangle with grille above the grab handle, is the rear passenger ceiling aircon vent, and of course, the light on the left. That just leaves the "speaker cover" between the grab handle and the light. The sub is not in the pic, but would be below the pic, on the parcel shelf, with the air con/air filter vents each side of it, again not in the photo. The other side of the car is exactly the same in reverse. Does that all make sense?
Mile_High_Flyer Posted August 7, 2016 Author Posted August 7, 2016 According to a video on "The other site" it appears they are vents for filtered air above the passengers. So that brings back the original question. Are there more speakers in the back, apart from the small ones in the leading edges of the rear doors, and the sub on the parcel shelf?
