Default 1992 LS400 Pioneer Subwoofer 86160-50010

Hello. Noticed that my subwoofer doing crazy noises. Went to lexus dealer and ordered 86160-50010 for $270. After 3 weeks of waiting I was informed that the part is no longer available and discontinued! Went to Carson lexus parts and after another 2 weeks the same results, part is discontinued. Junk yard parts were all in bad shape.

So my last chance was to follow lexls.com advice and was very happy with the results (see photos) bought a kicker subwoofer from Amazon for $39.99 plus $14 shipping.

Just a note that you have to use the isolation ring from your old subwoofer with some 3m foam to isolate it from the metal base.

Thanks for looking.

Removed the 2 wires from the old subwoofer and connected them to the new kicker to the red and black points.
