You are welcome

Dont know if you guys cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend recently xD

Super informational video guys. Would you happen to know the Metra part# if I wanted to install 5.25" mids in the door instead of 6.5" mids? Thanks for posting.

[@octanetvchannel]

I wouldn't know the part number offhand but if you do get on metra electronics website it will probably tell you for that vehicle. If not I would definitely call metra electronics phone number and make sure you have the right part number. Thank you for the nice words and compliment as well

Nicely done well built build up

Thank you

Where are you guys located or where is a good spot in Chicago to get audio work. I had audio work don’t on my es300 but it’s a half ass job because my speakers sound muddy, video is supposed to play through my double din but nothing, Apple car play doesn’t work. Do not get your work done at the supermall if you’re in or near Chicago

How do I route a 4 gauge power wire to the trunk in this vehicle??

[@chrisd5922]

How much did y'all charge her to do the install of everything I have the exact same vehicle and would be providing most everything myself as well just don't feel like doing install price range?

[@octanetvchannel]

We just charged by the hour. Something like this typically takes us around 4 to 6 hours

Hey Mr installer, so between the boss audio and the stinger. The boss audio wire strand itself is like a reddish color wire strand and the stinger is like silverish is it possible that the reddish color wire is copper and the silverish color wire is aluminum. I mean I'm only an electrician and in our type of electric copper is always better conductor then aluminum but maybe in the car world it's different.

[@shoof1696]

Stinger is tinned copper and are a bit oversized. I used welding cable for my build and found out a 4awg from stinger or reputable car audio brands is equivalent to a 2awg welding cable

[@vrva3138]

Did you keep the old ML AMP in the trunk after tapping into the output? cuz I assume the HU signals cannot be processed without the original amp?

[@octanetvchannel]

We bypassed the amp

[@Hunter-pk7ym]

what rack did you use to mount the amplifier? i’m trying to install an amp the same way

[@KingxDavid23]

Thanks for the nice vid. Would you happen to know the wattage of the stock amp, and stock speakers?

[@octanetvchannel]

We don't but probably around 400 watt amp and 50 watt speakers a piece

[@pesoplumaaa]

Is the amp the same on 2002 es300 with mark levinson amp? Thanks

[@jcf7401]

Where did you run the power wire? I cannot find a good place to run it in my 330

[@aarumediagroup7432]

I would run it under the carpet and door panels. You would need to remove the lower back seat and should be able to squeeze the power wire in through the back.

[@tedtang1005]

Drill a hole behind the break pedal then take off the side panels on driver side and run it to the trunk you have to use a sharp razor blade to cut a hole from the pocket b4 drilling your hole

[@GrownManGames]

I need help with my lexus gs350 mark levinson. I blew the amp and want to bypass it.

[@LoudHouseJuice]

so what amp is running the sub if that amp is a 4 channel? or did you run the door speakers straight to the head unit and only put the amp on the sub? Im having the same issues she was having with my Lexus ES300. Basically the speakers and sub are factory, I switched from factory head unit to Pioneer Double Din but when i turn the volume all the way up it starts getting scratchy then turns off and if i restart it begins to work fine i just cant turn it all the way up. I was told to run the door speakers straight to the head unit and put a amp on the sub but it looks like its only 1 amp in her car.

[@octanetvchannel]

One channel is running all four door speakers since they are the same size and they don't care about fading for front or rear. Stuff is running on the other channels

[@LoudHouseJuice]

@@octanetvchannel so I could use a 4 channel amp for door speakers n sub?

[@Hunter-pk7ym]

@@LoudHouseJuice nope it has to be 5 channel, unless you wanna use two amps. But you could amplify the speakers with your head unit and use a mono amp for ur sub

Why do the other videos show the bypass under the glove box

[@octanetvchannel]

I'm not sure the factory amplifier is in the trunk like it shows in theVideo. They might be doing it a different way but this is the easiest way I have found to make it work correctly

[@roddypiper2810]

@@octanetvchannel thanks for the quick response...it really means alot when someone takes the time to answer a question or two

@@roddypiper2810 anytime and if you need anything else please let us know

[@vrva3138]

The amp under the glove box is for a different model. With ML System with double DIN HU's, there are 2 amps. One micro amp in the front right to handle navigation audio and one in the rear to handle speakers. On some models, the speaker amplifier is placed under the glove box like for a single din original HU. If you cut the factory amp and try to hook it up to HU, it won't work cuz the signal processing is different. only option is to leave the old Amp and tap into the amp output. It creates too much electrical load cuz of all the amplifiers though. so may be installing an additional battery and a high current alternator will work.

[@Haitianmonte]

Is there any reason you did not replace the factory amplifier? I need the trunk space so I do not want enclosure.

[@octanetvchannel]

Because it's terrible and typically they go out no matter what. So it's kind of pointless to replace something that's going to just go bad it eventually. You don't have to add a sub you can just use the amplifier to power the speakers

[@Haitianmonte]

I am sorry I meant the factory subwoofer. I do not see any videos where the 8in sub is replaced in same spot.

[@octanetvchannel]

@@Haitianmonte this vehicle did not have the factory subwoofer unless it was in the rear deck? Some of this vehicle had been modified before we touched it

[@Haitianmonte]

First I want to say thank you for replying to my comments. I used your video as a guide to do my install. However I replace the rear deck sub with 8” Kicker. I want to bypass the factory Mark Levinson but it seems a bit intimidating.
