Wow! finally decided to install JL Audio W6V2 Prowedge subwoofer in the trunk. After adding Sub, the quality of overall sound in the cabin in awesome. This installation satisfied my needs for bass in this car. No modifications were made to the car, just ran 4awg power wire, remote turn on wire and 4 awg ground wired to chasis in the trunk.
Fixed JL Audio slash 500/1 mono amp to the back of subwoofer box, tapped stock subwoofer for speaker level amp input, perfectly tuned to match factory audio (non-ML premium audio with Nav). This subwoofer is no boom box, bass is solid and adequate.
With this addition Lexus ES350 Premium Sound is full.

I'm not Jeeva613 but I'll bet he doesn't know. But it also doesn't matter. As long as you use the appropriate sized wire then it shouldn't be a problem. I'm installing a 1,000w Powerbass into my car and will use random 4ga wire. Nothing from an installation kit.

A cap is just a band-aid for a bigger problem. None of the real car audio competitors use them.
The big-3 is overkill for most systems installed in an ES-350. Heck, I even used 6ga wire for my install. Not optimum but more than adequate for the amp I'm using.

Stock subwoofer connections
Hi, I'm a "new" 2008 ES 350 owner for a week now! Awesome car!
Very nice system you have & great writeup. I was curious about the 4 wires going to the stock subwoofer... it appears you tapped the red & black, what are the other 2 wires going to the stock sub? The aftermarket sub I am installing has 4 speaker level inputs (2 for left and 2 for right) - are the other two wires going to the stock sub just the left (or right) channel?
Thanks! Bob

I know this is about a year old thread, nonetheless, wanted to thank the OP for the post! I had recently used this write up to install MTX amp & 12" sub 
This brought life to the audio system and made it fun to drive!

Hoping not to lose too much trunk space while I am at it.
