For those of you adding subwoofers, a couple questions:
1. How did you get signal into the amplifier for the new sub:
----A. Did you convert the existing sub's (speaker-level) signal using a line-level converter?
----B. Did you somehow get access to a line-level output from the Lexus head unit?
----C. Did you use some other technique?
2. In either case, does having a ML vs. "premium" system make a difference?
Thanks!

Is it still controlled thur your nav screen and oem headunit? cause i saw on Lextronics thread he had a second headunit and if u look at the picture. the name screen is now useless (from what i can tell) hope some1 post it up so every1 can see.

I also have a cover the goes over the plexi so the trunk is still functional.
Stock headunit is still operational and controls everything. We tied it all into the factory audio so nav, audio, AC, etc are still functional.

Now if you're trying to have a concert for the people outside of the car, then that's another story; you will probably want to gut your system and start from scratch.

I have for the headunit interface, the Rockford Fosgate 360.2.
I have two Alpine V12 amplifiers, one 400 watts, the other 560 watts.
The interior speakers are Rockford Fosgate power series components front / rear.
The subwoofers are JL Audio 10W1's,...in a custom enclosure, complete vinyled trunk, led lighting ( lexus emblem in floating glass arangement - skull & bones on the arm rest center fold-down ).
I have the same setup in my RX300, except with two 8W3's, and Rockford Fosgate T500 and T600 amps. Both have 5 farad caps.
I'll post pics a lil later,..they are not on this PC....
