Lexus, Mark Levinson 6 Inch x 9 Inch Foam Auto Speaker Repair Kit FSK-6x9TOY (Pair)

Very good replacement item. The glue is strong

My 2004 GX470 was bought used with 215k miles on it. When I went to turn the radio on and the bass started to hit, so did the speaker against its housing. It sounded just like one of those people who have a $500 car and no windows blasting their music down the street!Originally, I was looking to replace the speaker but found out just how much the Mark Levinson speakers cost in addition to the fact that they're good speakers. With some further digging, I also found out, it's not the speaker that's gone bad but the foam! That's where this kit comes in.I pulled the door panel off after popping off three parts to access three phillips screws. I pryed the bottom of the panel up and out. As soon as I heard it pop, I pulled straight up on the panel and off it came; be sure to unplug any wiring. The speaker adapter/housing is held in by 4 screws. (10mm or phillips). The speaker also has a wire you'll have to disconnect.The adapter has 4 phillips screws attaching it to the speaker assembly itself. In my case I had to peel back the foam just a few millimeters to access the screws to take them out. Now comes the messy part!Take a plastic scraper and scrape both the outer surrounding housing as well as the speaker itself! Yes, it's a little spooky but take your time. I found that Goo-Gone was very helpful in getting the old adhesive and foam off.Afterwards, I just followed the instructions. First glueing the inner circle of the foam to the actual speaker part which moves. Then followed by the outer ring to the frame/housing.Wait an hour before you turn it on and test if it works (and of course it does, you glorious human being, you did great)! Night and day difference. $26 versus $260. Would do this all day everyday.

This was a great buy for the money I was about to spend at the Lexus dealership approximately $700. I watched the video and then watched another video on YouTube on how to properly removed the door panel on Lexus sc430 and did the job myself! The glue is still holding and the speaker sounds great! No more obnoxious rattling noises!

Repaired the infamous Mark Levinson 6 x 9 door woofers in a Lexus SC430. The old surround foam wasn't torn yet, but at the verge of crumbling along the outer edges after 13 years.(Of course the subwoofer surround was torn)Toughest part of surround replacement was thoroughly removing all old foam and glue. Alcohol wetting and scraping of the frames and cone took about an hour each speaker. A brush to apply the alcohol is a must. Wood chisel worked well for removing glue residue once the alcohol softened the original glue to gummy/gel consistency. I scraped the frame down to bright bare metal. The cone was cleaned down to the actual cone fabric. You can scrape the cone with your wood chisel while supporting the cone edge with your fingers from below.Provided adhesive was easy to dispense, tacked up in a reasonable number of minutes. Just enough time to get things positioned, but not so slow that you had to hold things together forever. Centering the new surround was easy. I didn't really need to do much manual repositioning, a power supply set to low output let me raise the cone for glue application or push up agains the new surround.Once secured to the cone, it really was only an hour before I could glue down the surround edges to the speaker from. Again used current to raise the cone for glue application. Then reversed polarity to drop the cone and surround down against the frame for five minutes. This let the speaker's own coil provide even pressure and centering.Nice repair - even for a novice. Just be patient and carefully, gently remove all the old glue and foam.

saved myself a couple hundred bucks repairing old speaker rather than buying new ones!. Take your time and make sure you clean the surfaces well and you too will be successful.

The rx 330 from speakers have a cover over the foam that is super duper glued and cannot be removed without breaking it to pieces. I couldn’t use it ok my rx330 and just wanted to let people know about that. Looked online for hours and literally not a single method that goes over removing that pain of a cover. Returning for lack of instructions there. Giving it 3 stars because it didn’t work for me and they should’ve mentioned that about rx 330 speakers or gave instructions.

2007 Lexus RX-350 plan Jane no nav, no ML. Was not the perfect correct kit because I don't have the Mark Levinson speakers. But I looked at the one review which said it would work fine and it did. This is foam not plastic like the current speakers (when you open the doors you will see). My speakers were a hard plastic like material and I mounded the foam under the cone (it said to do that on the tips and tricks sheet in the box). I'm pretty sure the speakers are JBLs. Number 4 JBL tip put foam under the cone like the speakers currently have. Was easy because of the stiff cone and the ridge built into the foam. Put the foam under the cone filled the ridge and let it set. I touched it up after setting and waited another hour. Then glued the outer edge and glued the plastic rim back on top. Looked like new, sounds like new. I should say it sounds great. About $25 total. And I was going to scrap the whole thing and spend about $2,800...lol

The lip on the foam is too small I have been trying for two days to install it thinking I was doing something wrong but I have seen their youtube video and I still can't get it to work. The foam just doesn't stretch enough to connect my speaker.. I Wasent even going to give them a bad review but no only do they sell you a really cheap foamt that doesn't fit your speakers for half the price of some decent 6x9, but they also refuse to return their product.. sad
