Default Possible to wire LOC, ML subwoofer and aftermarket subwoofer together

Just wondering if this is possible. My ML sub isn't blown, but want to add a little more bass. Has anyone wired the LOC in line with the ML sub still connected and an aftermaket sub

ML sub>LOC>aftermarket amp>aftermarket sub

thanks!

that's how mine is wired in. I didn't see a sense in removing or disconnecting the factory sub. mine has been like that for about 3 months and I haven't had any issues. I listen normally around 25 but will turn it up to 40-45 on a good song so it's been played loud for short times. never skipped a beat (no pun intended)

Thanks for the reply. Did you tap directly off the positive and negative terminals off of the ML sub or from the two positive and two negatives wires out of the ML amp to the ML sub

i tapped the 2 positives and 2 negatives at the amp basically as if it was a left and right for the LOC. then I ran the rcas over with the remote turn on from the ML amp.

I tapped into the wires just before they go into the subwoofer. Did it about 4 or 5 months ago. I installed an in line volume control too. Do a search on here. There are several threads regarding this subject.

I found the wiring layout for the sub output wire colors on the forum and did a multi-meter test for the remote just to be sure it was correct.

I’ll second that one! I just picked up my LS460L and wanted to add my subwoofer. Trying to locate schematic for wiring of LOC... remote wire and I can prob figure out the ML sub wires pretty easy from sub...

is the cig lighter always on in center console, I remember tapping the wire in prior Lexus’s I’ve owned....

It looks like the connector has 4 wires and that two wires go to each side of the sub, does that mean that it’s a single channel with dual voice coil? I’m going to wire in an amp and aftermarket sub and want to take this factory sub signal as my new amp input. I want to wire these into a set of rcas. Which is positive and negative? Thank you.
