I've had the side panels out on an older LX450 I used to have, they are snap-in connectors (fairly easy to remove if you use the right tool). Do you have the Mark Levinson audio system, in my opinion I wouldn't do anything aftermarket if you do. I've been down this road. Its a stange ohm speaker but cant remember what it is....like 12? Normal speakers are 4 or 8 typicaly. We tried an 8 and it didnt work. Finally bought a factory sub used and worked fine. Long story short dont bother with aftermarket. Theres nothing available in the right ohms. The replacement itself is very easy. Remove plastic skid plate on floor near tailgate. Remove screws to pull out side panel and I believe you have to unbolt the left rear seatbelt but thats easy as well. Takes 15 minutes total start to finish. I also have this problem but i also want to replace the two mid-speakers in the front drive and passenger side and the mark levinson headunit since the cd and radio are continually skipping and the volume controls are no longer working properly. I was looking to get an aftermarket pioneer headunit with the works bluetooth, ipod connection, and dvd player any thoughts on this Thank you!

I am also looking to upgrade up Mark Levnison system. I have a 2001 lx470 and a mid speaker is blown and the bass has stopped working. Additionally, the radio antennae has stopped going up and down. Lastly, the head-unit itself is giving me problems cd's skip, the radio skips, and when you turn on the radio sometimes the volume goes out of control gets piercing loud. I am looking to upgrade my system to a double din navigation with bluetooth, ipod connection, dvd, etc...the whole works do you guys have any suggestions. Also, i would also like any suggestions regarding good speaker components. Thank you!
