ML sub on 2002 LX question (1 Viewer)

[2002TLCyes]

Previous owner replaced my sub with a kicker brand or something. Housing is still there but when I bought the car, the connector to the sub was disconnected. I connected it and now when playing music, the sound goes dead for a second and comes back often. I have to think the ohms are mismatched? Any ideas? Can anybody tell me definitively which speaker I need to buy to stick in my sub housing to make it work? I’m no audiophile, I just want to have some bass and not lose sound constantly.

Thank you.

It should work, regardless. Check the pos and neg connections. The kicker sub may have been blown as well.

Diagram in this thread shows how someone did it with with a dvc 4 ohm driver and two 8 ohm resistors wired in parallel to match the ohms output of the factory amp.

LX470 Speaker Replacement

I know there are about 1000x threads on how to fix the ML speakers, but I rolled the dice and replace the front 6.5" speakers with some Alpine SPS-610C from eBay. The sound is significantly better that the totally destroyed stock ML speakers. I am aware they are 4ohm speakers, vs the ML 8ohm...

Challenge may be finding a dvc 6.5 sub that fits the depth reqs is the factory enclosure.
Is it 2.75 like the Landcruiser’s?
