Default stereo system sub. is not deep enough
I just got an IS F 2011 Red Matador beautiful. The problem is the sub woofer is not loud enough to give you the necessary presence and thumb. In other words this stereo system was designed and tuned to listen to OPERA. Had anybody run into this problem and what you recommend.

This is a problem ? Listen to the car instead ... If you must have "presence and thumP" rip out your ML system if you have it and replace all the components with a custom set up.

I actually find the sub overbearing at times and have turned it down.

I find the bass to be more than sufficient for me. I leave my bass at around 50%. If it's lacking for you, just throw in an amp and sub. The stock system is tuned to play OPERA??? Give me a break.

You're not going to find any OEM system to meet your "thumb" requirements. As previously posted, you'll need to take out the OEM stuff and put in something more to your liking so opera will sound bad.

Search, LOC . You need to buy a line out converter in order to run and aftermarket amp/sub with the factory system.
I'm still deciding if I want more bass. I really don't wanna run more wires..

huh?? There are no free air subs that fit right in. Plus adding a new sub in the oem system wouldnt make it any louder, the amp is what controls that. Which is why you need a need amp to push a new sub
