Upgrading the front door speakers with Kicker CS series component speakers.
The speakers are 4 ohm and come with crossovers and tweeters but I leave those out for this install. Only utilizing the 6x9 mid bass driver. I used speaker adaptor plates found on amazon.
Speaker Kicker CSS69 4ohm
Some people say not to use 4ohm speakers but it’s fine. The amps have built in overload and if the get too hot they will shut off. Which will happen off you play you stereo on full blast with bass turned all the way up. But most people never do that. I play the shit out of it on high volume 90% of the time and don’t have any issues. I have been doing this to Lexus LS and GX’s for the last 15 years withou issue. That being said I only keep a car for a year or two tops.
But I buy GX’s often enough this will be my go to fix for the fron speakers
Check my other video for the sub replacement upgrade
My current stereo is all factory amps with kicker front door drivers and a kicker 6 3/4” sub in the back. All 4 ohm. And factory 8 ohm for the rest and it sounds fantastic.
