What is equally important to this video tutorial is your narration especially your advice and tips. I commend you for it. Thank you, Chris. I'm saving this.👋👍 God bless!

Yo bro.. what is the positive and negative wires on the speaker? The green one or black one? Thx

They deliberately design it that way so that the user can't replace it and you'll have to rely on a dealer who will spend hours and set you back obscene money not just for the woofer and labor but various hardware and brackets. Where I live no mechanic or car audio place will touch it and a dealer may not want to either but if they do they charge $1500 to $2000 or more for an 8 hour job at $150/hour. That is what I was quoted.

The stock Mark levinson woofer is crap anyway especially for it's hideous cost. There's not much response below 60 hz... just mainly upper bass and it's underdamped and boomy. And the replacement cost is is beyond obscene. Mark Levinson car audio has zero to do with ML high end home audio. They simply hijacked the name and stamped it on a mediocre car product and charged a fortune for it. It's really a Harman International (Harman Kardon) product. Big whoop. Far better to replace it with a custom job like this Pyle that sounds much better and costs far less.

How could I find what wires are positive and negative

What’s the colors of the pos+ and Neg- from the OEM subwoofer ?

When bees come around you their honoring your Royalty . Real Talk.

Good video good quality good explanation 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

so you only need 1 sub woofer?

How long did that counterfeit denso knock sensor last?

Link to recommended knock sensors ?

Looks like a nightmare

I gotta do a 2002 lexus es thanks bro .

The hardest part - the back three nuts hodling the bracket - you did not show.. 1 14mm and 2 12 mm nuts. what the flex wrench you used and how you do it

Should i buy a new intake manifold gasket?

Absolutely correct on the A/F ratio sensor being a different component than O2 sensor! Bravo

Excellent demonstration and camera work!

Excellent, thanks

It’s many moon my friend since you made this video but your valuable (Lexus subwoofer installation mod) information is appreciated. Thanks for your theoretical and practical demonstration how to make a layman DIY simple and perfect. I just bought a Lexus 02 es300 and is going to change the subwoofer and you make project so easy. Nuff respect every time.

This must be a Lexus. My 2002 Camry has different size nuts and different styles than described here.

Great video. Are both knock sensors the same part number?

Great video but may I add on? I have an 04 Solara 3.3 and the knock sensor locations are the same as 03 and prior, but the sensors are made entirely different. The 03 and before Solara models have the same sensors as shown in the video, but 04-08 V6 Solaras use the ring type sensors that are mounted with bolts. I had to look it up by the year on RockAuto before making an order and surely enough, 03 and 04 have different sensors lol.

What size is the sub?

Thank Chris, good video and info.

Holy crap thats a lot of dismantling, definitely mark everything with different colour paint markers so you know where everything goes back.

I know this is an old video. But so is my Lexus😂. Thanks for posting this. I was trying to figure out how to get to that speaker. Who would’ve thought that I just had to take the whole rear of the interior apart to get to that. 🤷‍♂️😂

Nice car but not all that😅😅😅😢😊

I used to drive them back in the six

Everytime this guy says don't worry about it's not a big deal, you should worry about it. It starts off by disconnecting the incorrect battery cable. Then he calls many tools by the wrong name and doesn't even drain the coolant and says don't worry about it it's not a big deal. Oh yes it is.

Any issues with this set up after having it in for a while?

looks like the mark Levinson stock speaker is svc how did you wire the loc

Is the original speaker svc or dvc

the only reason the bees are trying to sting you is because you don't like them🤣.

Man I can’t leave rattles alone once I get into a setup. Butyl rubber and foam wrapping on every accessible surface

I would replace the spark plugs, the rocker cover gaskets if they're leaking, and anything else that would require the plenum/manifold to come off. You're in there balls deep anyways, may as well replace everything.

Your nails are longer than some females I know…great video!!!

That is the plan for my 07 Lexus es350 only running a separate Skar 350 amp & a 6.5" Scar sub leaving the armrest down for direct music.

Question for you,,, I have a 08 es350 and the diamond like plastic pieces have air bags behind it. Did you disconnect your battery before pulling those pieces out on both sides? I was worried id deploy the airbags pulling them out to get to the woofer. . Did you have to do all that?

How do you get your music to play via blue tooth

Which player is best for sound quality usb aux which should i play

The BEST VIDEO. Thank you sir!!! I am going to change out the spark plugs for my son's 2004 ES330 this weekend (He also help me). Your video is so helpful to us. Thanks again🙏

Great video and explanation but I was getting anxiety watching you work over an open intake! I like to put tape over it to prevent anything like nuts and bolts falling down into it

Just wanted to say thanks! Saved me a ton of money 🤙

Thank you, Chris!

Detailed and precise information

for those that wanna replace the subwoofer w/ nav and 14 speaker Mark levinson- The sub runs at 6 ohms and 30w but if you have the 8 speaker system the sub is gonna be at 25 ohms x2 30w/30w (max 60w/60w)

Pulling the top of the air box is a great time to examine your MAF sensor for buildup

Man you saved the day! Thanks for your patience taking time to share this video.

Anybody know the name of the rail at 6:10 with the orange and blue sensor?
