About the only information I have seems to be for the speakers themselves. I'm not 100% sure on the amp's output.

1 center channel on the dash.
25W 2.6in Speaker
3 speakers in each front door.
20W 1.0in Tweeter, 25W 2.6in Midrange, 25W 6.5in Woofer
2 speakers in each rear door.
20W 1.0in Tweeter, 25W 4.0in Midrange
2 surround rear speakers on the back deck.
25W 2.6in Speakers
1 sub-woofer in the trunk
40W 8.0in Sub-Woofer
Pioneer Head Unit, Mark Levinson Amplifier


2010-12 Mark Levinson has:

Which channel specifically do you need to know about?

Thanks, but wait a second here. Every other thread on this site says that the Subwoofer is a 12Ω driver. Are you sure you're not mistaken?

Subwoofer. I'm going to need to replace it and I'm exploring my options. Thanks

Instead of replacing it, SimplySpeakers.com repairs them. I sent mine off a few months ago, took two weeks, paid $45, and it's good as new!

It's what Lexus lists them as in several NCF publications, unless those publications are wrong.

HELL yes, all the local places I asked wont repair this driver! You rock.

Thanks, I would rather replace it if I could, just to save the down time but if not I will probably go your route. Did everything work fine without the subwoofer while it was out for repair?


Is that for US models? Why does everyone think it's 12-ohm?

That is for USA and Canada models. I'm not sure why people think it's 12Ω? Where did you hear/read that?

EDIT: I looked up other countries and they used the same subwoofer as we did, globally.

Who is everyone?

I've known the 06-09 speakers were 8 Ohm for years, and have posted exactly that any number of times in threads about em.

fng

Thanks. Well, if it's an 8-ohm then it will be cheap and easy to replace.


I cant seem to find the thread now but I'm certain that I read it in 2 different threads and no one contested the fact that it was a 12-ohm. Like I said, if it is an 8-ohm then that is great.

Jake

Thanks! Just follow the directions online, and send it to them. They will look over everything and tell you what needs to be replaced when they get it. It comes with a one year warranty too.

While on the subject of the ML sub. what specifically fails on these things for them to "blow"? Has anyone thought about replacing an ML sub with a non-ML sub?

vapid2323

People do all the time, some I believe even put a replacement where the stock one was. But most will just add in a sub box and amp of there own. I am just over that whole sub woofer phase, IMO its not really needed in this car, I am happy with a stock system.
