does the ML amp go into "protection mode" or cuts off if a more powerful sub is installed?

I just took out the ML Subwoofer and there was on 2 wires attached to it. There was a Red and a Yellow wire.

Does anyone know which wire is the Positive wire and Negative wire? Thanks

I connected the wires to a 9 volt battery and it appears that the Red wire in my car is the Positive speaker wire.

Would someone be able to give me a list of speakers I can use to replace the ML sub.. PLEASE...

trying to follow the thread and find out, but I'm not able to find the subs mentioned so far.

Thank you in advance.

I need a replacement sub for a 2001 GS430.

I'm interested in this as well, my sub has been blown for 1 yr and it's getting on my nerves. Will any 8" infinite baffle sub fit? most of the models listed in this topic are either no longer in production or way expensive. Looking for a cheap replacement that is on par w/ stock sound and will work w/ the ML stock wiring.

With the kicker free air is it better for the 4ohm or 8ohm on a 1998 gs300

My ML sub is also acting up. My uncle had his replaced with this JL 10wxv2 and mentioned he had great results for $90 installed.

Upon looking at the specs though, it doesn't mention if it's a free air sub though. Thoughts on using a non free air sub?

did you end up getting this sub and installing it using the stock ML amp?
