Sub may be blown. You could get a repair kit.

 

 

 

I don't think there are any Multi-level tier for the ML package. You may want to ask the folks in the ISF section.

 

I agree. Especially after I got in my wife's 2016 Ram Longhorn Ecodiesel with the Alpine unit. My goodness, This Alpine system rocks in the Ram.

I do think the 2007 Camry XLE V6 my wife has that I DD is a little better... So disappointed in my 2012 ISF stereo.

 

Yeah I took a girl for a ride in the F, she complained about the stereo being weaker than her NEW civic. I said cool, turned it off, put it in sport, manual mode and let her hear the engine instead.

Needless to say, she was grinning ear to ear.

 

I dont know what everyone is whining about. the audio system in my 11 is head and shoulders better than anything I have tested. the frequency response on our system is fantastic and ranges from about 60Hz all the way up to just about 15khz if I remember right. human hearing tops out at 16khz. Mine did need a bit of toying with the settings to get it calibrated just right but it sounds on point once I got it dialed in.nthe audio system in our cars is meant for audio quality, not blasting bass out the windows to **** off your neighbors.

 

My current '08 ISF's ML stereo is pretty bumping. So much so that I assume the sub was blown and replaced with aftermarket. I have yet to peal anything back and check because there's no need to. This is my 3rd Lexus and 3rd Lexus with a ML stereo.

My second Lexus was also a '08 ISF and when I bought it, the sub was blown. The system was definitely missing a lot of sound without the sub doing its part.

To the OP, if you have a ML, you have a sub.

 

I think mine may be blown, after I start playing music w heavy bass for about 5 mins, I get this crackling and sizzling noise in the rear. Sounds like someone is cooking up eggs. Anyone else have this issue?

 

Stick you head under the parcel shelf in the boot . you have to pull back the felt panel and crank it up observe the speaker cone if it's rooted you will know cheers.🔊🔉🔈🔇

 

the 16khz number is a bit funny ... in the right environment ... you can hear the difference with a cut at 16khz vs no frequency cut ... it kind sounds like air on top of a recording.

it makes it brighter but not in the just turn the treble up way. im not sure im describing this correctly ... fidelity is a more accurate term i think.

 

I've always wondered if my sub is blown as well. For those coming from another 2IS, my '09 IS-350 w/standard system had a WAY more solid low end... should that be my impression when the ML sub is working? Did you fix your last car's sub, and if so, was it difficult? And on your current ride, what'd you go with aftermarket? Thanks!
