All I did was remove the stock ML sub, hooked up a Toyota speaker harness I had (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120728...s.html?tp=3097) from an old install, dropped it through the sub opening and just attached the wiring to the sub. The ML amp actually had enough power to push the sub. It is very limited though. You still have no control over it and you still need to keep the bass level up on the settings. But for 60% or more of my music, it fills in some of that missing bass. On songs with deep bass, you really notice it. It will shake the mirror.
If you really want to only run this route,find a 2 ohm sub (or 2 ohm combination) and the most efficient one you can find. You want a sensitivity rating as close to 90 as you can get (higher is better)

Just don't expect this to be the magic bullet. You will still be better off with a signal processor and an amp (or powered sub.

Once I get the DSP installed, I will let you know the frequency range of that output.

Do you notice any more performance with the inlet tube re-routed to the passenger foglight vent (compared to the existing inlet area above the grill)? I like the idea of hiding the orange in the headlight, but a part of me thought the shape of the decal was a carbon fiber band-aid. lol

Gave her an ONR wash yesterday, and installed the smoky vinyl cover for the Lexus emblem from CL member Don Nguyen. This is a nice placeholder until I get the real black pearl emblem.

And appear to be real carbon fiber versus the carbon-look of the OEMs.

How much was it? I clicked the "Buy Now" button on a decal, it just took me to a PayPal page with the price blank.

Found a cheap f sport trunk badge and stuck it on yesterday. Not sure how I feel about it, might take it off or just wait for it to fall off on its own.
