I am hoping to install a decent quality aftermarket subwoofer in my 1999 Lexus LS 400. I was just wondering if anybody might be able to tell me what parts I will need to do this and how? I'm a surgeon and, prior to medical school, I was a computer technician... so I am somewhat technically inclined, but I admittedly have very little experience with auto-related work... I'm really interested in getting into it, though, and if anybody could please help me out, it'd mean so much to me.
Thank you so much!!!

surgeon sturgeon, with the supposedly big pay checks come big hours, big paperwork, big commitment to a population thinking docs have all the answers and big regulation these days. Doctors are just like you and me wanting a fulfilling day, a homelife and weekends to putz with stuff to have time to themselves! I too am in healthcare know all about it.
Does the 400 need a 12 ohm subwoofer like the 430? Is it overpriced and mediocre like the 430's? The 430's folks seem to go with Kicker 8 ohm's I am sure there are some DYI threads on the 400.

JEEZ, It's a joke! ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I know VERY well how they live as my extended family owns a medical facility. Further, I have spent MANY hours working there in many capacities and seeing how these doctors transition from professional to wanting to build a cabinet for their tools at home.
But still, they make a butt ton more money than the average.
---back to our regularly scheduled thread.
majahops, you may consider removing the carpeting from trunk area to expose possible wire routing locations so that you can CLEANLY run lines from trunk, behind seat, under carpet, through firewall to battery. Maybe add a capacitor depending on how much power you want.

First off haha glad I sparked that discussion. There's nothing like the satisfaction you get from doing something yourself... And I've always felt like a little bit of a wuss for not knowing my way around a car. To be honest it's not about the increased bass as much as it is an excuse to actually do something myself on my car... There's no way ill get to use that bass when my wife's in the car anyway haha.
Thanks so much for the info guys, it really means a lot!!! Hope you all have great weekends.

does anyone know the exact brand and model number of our amp & sub, so I could research a replacement that would be a perfect match electrically (impedance, power, etc.) for a plug & play install? (no wiring except the connectors)
