Is there any danger in just disconnecting the blown subwoofer on my LX470?

Post up what you replace it with. I’m in the same boat...or LX. Sub needs to be replaced.

Does it need to be replaced or can you just have it refoamed? As @Das Shtig and I both found, it is pretty cost effective to go this route. Easy to pull and replace (Trust me, if I am saying this it is VERY easy!). Of course the other speakers are likely to be headed this way too so you may have to deal with them as well soon.

As the late great internet troll once said..."yer guna dye"...... but seriously, no, just disconnect it, you won't even notice it's gone.

I believe that the '03 - '07 LX and LC both have a single speaker Sub-woofer.

I can't comment on how many "Drivers" or "coils" they have, but the sub woofer only has two wires connected to the single speaker as I recall.

They're DVC 'subwoofers', so there are two stereo connections for the single sub driver - one for each voice coil.

FWIW, I bought a ridiculously cheap Pyle PLPW6D that required a little trimming of the opening to fit, but it sounds good in that little sealed enclosure.

In the end, it was a single-speaker sub.
I ended up re-foaming the cone.
Glad I went that route because it sounds great now. Very easy but time consuming project.
