This is a sound quality set up. There are a set of hand made in Denmark Dynaudio components and zapco amplifiers. As far as the balanced goes that balances happens through a tranmitter after the OEM gateway. The 4080 box is designed by Ainsley I trained under his brother mark a number of years ago.

Default confused, need a little clearification

Now I'm a little here. After you running one channel (Front Left Woofer) and the other channel (subwoofer) through the NE-774V, how do you connect the two reduced voltage RCA's to the aftermarket amplifier to get a summed signal? Will the amp be doing the summing? Or does the NE-774V do the summing? Or is there any summing at all or is it just reducing the voltage to be 0v-9.5v? I have a Rockford Fosgate P550.2 Amp, which doesn't accept high level inputs. I have a two channel LOC and I'm currently using the subwoofer's (+) and (-) and connect it parallel going into the LOC's Left and Right inputs. At the RCA end, I just connect it like normal to the amp's RCA Right and Left Channel inputs. This means I have the same signal going into both channels. Currently, it feels like it's missing some of the bass I used to have when I had my system in my '95 Prelude. I know I would have to sum the signals up somehow to get that missing bass, but don't want to spend over $100.

Btw, here is what I have:
-(2) JL 12W3V3 single voice coil 2-ohms each. I have them in series mounted inside a sealed box and using the bridged outputs of the amp.
-Rockford Fosgate P550.2 Amp
-NAV
-ML
-Stock Head Unit

The next thing to do is add 2 mid-bass drivers somewhere in the front of the car to give it a little better low-end imaging. Overall, the sound is pretty good for a stock system. Thanks again!
Can you tell me exactly where you tapped into to get your signals for the woofer? Did you tear the door apart to get the wires, or did you get them from the output of the factory amp? Will this combination of summing get you a single signal around (30hz to 400hz) to supply to the amp? Or is it just some settings on the amp that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the helpful ideas everyone has provided on this thread.

My set up is pressurized and I'm too scared to open it up and tear the material, here are my stealth pics, I wanted trunk space
Alpine Type X 12” subwoofer and V12 1000 watt Class D amplifier



If I take it off ever I will take a pic

I am running 2 Memphis 15-M1104D their power source is a Memphis 16-MCD1000D, in the doors I have Eclipse SC8365 run off a Memphis 16-MCA5004.
Did you make these your self? How many cuft are they? I want to put JL 10w3v3 in my trunk and they need about .625cuft each.

If you didnt make them yourself, where can you buy them at?

this set up is awesome, i am seriously considering adding a head unit like that to my IS, however i have questions as to how it would work.

is it somehow tied into the stock lexus sound system? or does it replace the system entirely? in canada the nav screen isnt an option on the IS250 so i want to add an aftermarket touchscreen/nav/deck.
