Thanks @latetotheparty and @zcostilla
This is exactly the issue I'm trying to reconcile!
Crutchfield, undoubtedly an audio specialist, claims it is ok to use a subwoofer with lower impedance (8ohms) with the ML system that originally has a ~12ohm subwoofer. It would appear that many have...
I've got a 02 LX470 with the Mark Levinson system.
After replacing the original subwoofer speaker with an 8ohm Visaton replacement, I still found myself unhappy with the results and wanted to install a sub that could offer a little more opmh.
I went with a 6in Bazooka tube SVC 8ohm unit...
I used the GROM TOYOA1 unit and connected its Aux hook up to an Alexa Auto.
Now I have very clear bluetooth audio in my rig for about $125

Finally got around to doing this.
Big thanks to both @LostAfrican for the relay wiring diagram and help and @aedgington for selling me his LX last year! Of course thanks to @Odyseuss for starting this thread.
I used @LostAfrican 's relay method and wired it up to a switch that I made using...
Thanks @87warrior

Very nice! Great looking rig.
What HIDs are these?
When you tried the LEDs, where they brighter than the OEM halogens? I imagine they may have not cast as far.
I'm wondering the same thing RE: cruiserparts - I ordered parts from them, paid for them, and haven't heard from them in a while. Historically they can be slow, but always come through - this time seems a little different. Anyone know anything? I hope everything is good - they are a great resource!
@KosPar may have had a different experience, but for me:
no hacking of the original speaker housing or the new speakers. With two small exceptions - for the front door speakers, I had to remove two small plastic “studs” that protrude from the original housing so that the speakers could sit...
@2001LC thank you for this post. If I'm reading this correctly, in order to program a new key there must be no DTCs to complete the programming? Thanks
@KosPar I changed my mind and decided to go your route - I shelved the refoaming kit and replaced all speakers with your recommended visaton options. i am VERY pleased with the results! Thank you for being the first to attempt the retrofit.
The sound is great. However, one small issue I've...
Great news! Thank you for the update. I think I'm going to do this at least with my sub. there is power getting to the woofer box but the driver isnt working. I already bought the simply speaker kit and its been sitting in the garage so I guess I'll try this route with the rest of them at least...
