Has anyone experienced the subwoofer making crackling noise? I'm wondering if it's too much bass in certain songs so I turn down the bass. I'm hoping the subwoofer is not blown because I barely crack the volume and I hear it

 

well if it's blown hopefully you still have warranty right?

unless it's very very strong base, the ml system should be able to sustain it i think. it's a speaker cracking sound and not a rattle?

 

its a cracking sound, but you don't hear it all the time only on heavy bass notes, I'm still under warranty. I wanted to hear from members before I took it in an lexus tells me its normal

 

well i only got 2k miles on my car but i always put music pretty load (too nice), so far nothing

 

i blew mine. It was covered and replaced under warentee. They tried to fix it. I said replace it. So they did

 

I'm going to just make the dealer change it, thanks for the info

 

good luck, and keep us posted

 

I wanted to reply sooner but had trouble logging in...

Have you checked the seatbelt straps on the back seat? I thought that I had blown my subwoofer but realized that it was just one of the straps vibrating on the magnet.

 

No, I haven't but I'll check it this weekend, I'll definetely get back to you on that one.

 

dsimo, your info was on point, it was one of the straps. I played a cd with heavy bass and the baffling noise seems to have disappeared. Thanks for the advise

 

Glad to hear it's just the straps

 

wow that's good to know!!!!!! nothing beats an easy fix
