Line out converter
Hey everyone I have been researching for sometime to try and clear up my system issues on my 2009 Lexus IS250. I had a flyaudio unit, JLW3, JL 500/1 amp, and a bass **** installed. The problem is the sub sounds terrible. After some research I think I may need a line out converter? Most things on the site talk about tapping into the stock sub. My car didn't come with ML so I'm not sure if I have a subwoofer. Has anyone had experience with this? Any advice on how this is done or what I need and what I need to do would be much appreciated.

I installed one for the sub on my wife's SC. I tried using the sub outputs to the new amp but it sounded lousy. Went with line out converters from the L/R front speakers to the amp, bridged to a new sub and viola! super kicker bass.

Audio system
The site will give you all the details including full audio system details and diagrams, speaker sizes, connectors - you name it - you can find it.
Once you've full details, you'll know whether your system has subwoofer or not. It's very possible that your car already has a sub (although not too effective though) and when you're tapping into L&R speakers, it's not getting bass anyways so you're technically not feeding any bass to your JL either.
There may be another issue - your factory amp is not handling bass properly and in this case, the amp is the problem. As ZGone said, you'll then need to tap into L&R channels.
BTW : My car doesn't have ML system - it's a so called "Lexus Premium Audio" but it did come with good subwoofer (although crappy door speakers though - I changed all the 4 with JBL components).
