I did this to my LX but I used resistors. My sound is ok, at best. It tends to distort with any bass. I may try to rewrire it tomorrow with the resistors

I just picked up a 99 and noticed throughout this thread that nobody was sub 2000 that did this mod. Do the 99 models have a sub as well? Do they have the weird dual 4 inch sub setup?
Dual 4" is standard issue for '98-'00. The process is similar, but the woofers aren't easy to track down. I replaced mine with Dayton Audio ND105-4s, but they aren't perfect replacements. I'm driving them with a Pioneer amp, so the factory amps impedance wasn't a concern, but I still had to make an adapter. They sound great to me, but I'm not an audiophile or a basshead.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week?
Dual 4" standard for LC and LX in '98-'00?
Quick question for the sound wizArds on this post! At what point does it start taking a toll on your alternator or battery?
Thank you for he info!! How much does a dual battery setup like that usually run?It has been a long time since I added major amps to a system not sure how far you will have to go to start pulling more than the alt and stock batt can handle but bet it's not to much. You'll know when your headlights start dimming I would say if you are going to take it very far spring for a dual battery system and you should be good to go and ready for overlanding electronics as well. A couple slee battery trays, a blue sea ml-acr, and odysseys and you will be set. Going to be doing that to mine soon but more for fridge, lights, radios, etc
Guys.. do not buy a new speaker.. the foam is blown out connecting the coe to the metal frame.. just remove and re-cone. IT is 10-30 bucks for the kit... foam and glue.
I did mine a year ago and it is perfect.... just do a web search.. or remove it measure it and order the size foam you need... I got mine off ebay for my 01 lexus..
Much easier than jamming something new in there...... Or just take the speaker to a repair shope.. 50 bucks and you are ready to go... Seriously do not understand why everyone replaces the entire speaker for rotted foam.
I just finished installing an Audiopipe 6" sub in the factory box yesterday. I replaced the head unit a while back and have Blaupunkt overdrive woofers up front and Bazooka 6.5" 2-way speakers in the rear doors. The weekend before I ran the RCA cables and the wiring for a small Kicker amp under the passenger side front seat for the new sub. I really don't want to run new speaker wires to the rear sub. What color wires are under the front seat that run from the factory amp to the rear sub box? I connected the yellow/red wires to the sub inside the box as the new sub is only a single voice coil.
My issue is that the red and yelloww wires under the front seat are smaller than those attached to the sub in the box.
The old sub was toasted a long time ago & hasn't been powered by anything since I replaced the head unit a few years ago.
This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, I just never got around to it.
