Just replaced the 2 front dash speakers with some 3.5" pyles sounds nice.
What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Pyles? Is that the brand you used? How easy was it to pop the grill covers off??
Yeah pyle driver the grille covers popped right off and the speakers dropped right in with no issues.
Word...thx kid. I'm gonna do this now 2...mine sound like shit.
Make sure you get speakers with a wiring kit so you can plug in the new speakers you'll have to cut off the oem plug for the bose speakers.

so maybe this is a "newb" question, but I suspect that my speakers are "done", so is there a sure way to confirm it?

If there's no sound coming out of the speaker or if the sound is crackly or distorted they are toast. You can test them by using your fader and balance

Make sure you get speakers that are shallow. Some 3.5" speakers are too deep. The hvac ducts run under there so you don't have unlimited room. And you may also want a right angle screwdriver. It's a tight fit between windshield and front speaker screws.

Thx, only temporarily to see if i like it enough to powder coat
Thanks, I forgot to mention that. You will need an offset screw driver the speakers cant be to deep and if too high the covers wont go back on. The ones I went with fit in with no modifications needed.

Installed Akebono calipers on the front. Still need to bleed them. Here's before and after. My 20" Forgestars barely cleared the caliper.
