Additional Notes

  • The 2014 Lexus LS460 utilizes a distributed speaker layout with multiple 4-inch midrange positions throughout the cabin, including the A-pillar, dashboard, and rear door panel locations, which may indicate a factory audio system designed for spatial sound staging.
  • Front door panels accommodate 6x9-inch full-range speakers rather than the more common 6.5-inch or component configurations, suggesting these positions likely handle the primary frequency reproduction for front passengers.
  • The rear deck lid houses an 8-inch woofer that would primarily reinforce low-frequency output, though replacing this driver with an aftermarket alternative could potentially alter bass response characteristics depending on the enclosure volume behind the mounting surface.
  • Given the number of midrange positions in the 2014 Lexus LS460, owners seeking audio upgrades might prioritize the front door full-range speakers first, as these typically contribute more significantly to overall sound quality compared to smaller midrange drivers in supplementary locations.
  • The presence of dedicated woofer and multiple midrange positions suggests the factory system may route specific frequency ranges to different speakers, which could require additional consideration when selecting aftermarket replacements to maintain tonal balance across the frequency spectrum.
