There is zero need for heavy duty speaker wires to the sub (or any of the speakers) in the LS430 as long as you are using the stock ML amp. The ML amp is relatively anemic putting out pretty modest real RMS watts/power.

Just incase you want to avoid removing the backbeats, this thread will help. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...t-removal.html
what big boomer put, the wiring diagram, on this thread is exactly how I bridged it. Super easy. Don’t let that stop you.

Someone wanted Long Term feedback. Well, I am now 5+ years in on my Dayton Audio SD215A-88 8" DVC install.
It's still working well, still sounds great, and the suspension looks new (I popped the cover off at the weekend when vacuuming the interior).
It does have a rubber surround/suspension so not likely to degrade like the ML OEM Sub with it's foam suspension.
