Subwoofer
Has anyone tried adding an aftermarket subwoofer? Was looking at Kicker Hideaway or Pioneer TS-WH500A underseat options. There's not enough punch from the rear factory sub and don't want to add a box.

I would like to replace the factory subwoofer. Anyone know the size of the sub?
At the very least I want to add some sound damping material to quiet down the rattling.
I've quieted down the license plate rattle but there's still some buzzing. Plus the added sound damping should make the bass a bit tighter.

matter of fact, I would say that the sound damping material that I put on the back of the license plate has helped quiet the lift gate all together. the bass seems slightly tighter with less extra vibration. I find I can crank the volume a little louder without the bass getting distorted.
It was only $25 at best buy to get the smallest speaker kit. Money well spent in IMO. And I have plenty of material left over if I want to go in line the rest of the inside of the lift gate. Looking forward to doing that and seeing the results.

I found what was rattling. I found a loose small screw driver. Now I hear nothing but the music. ;-)

It's hard to say. I set my bass to 3/4 and I usually go up to about 50. but my ears aren't the best at discerning distortion.

Hi Tresmith,
Read your post about the rattling that your are getting from your NX. I am also having the same problem, I have tried and fixed the license plate with some weather guards, it's definitely helped but I can still hear the rattle on occasion from the tailgate. Took your advice and went to bestbuy over the weekend to buy the Dynamat speaker kit, I am now just wondering how to install it. Did you have to unscrew your tail gate to apply the dynamat in the inside of the speaker or did you just apply directly onto the exterior? If you did have to remove the tailgate, which screws did you have to unscrew and was it an easy process? If possible could you also provide some pictures of your installation as I will be attempting to install the Dynamat this weekend. Thanks in advance for your help

I still have two options. one...on my next visit to ask the Lexus tech if they have instructions or know how to take the liftgate apart. Or two...when I go to the tint shop for my windows they should be able to do it and charge me something more reasonable than bestbuy.
I'll let you know.

Hey...I haven't gone in there yet to do the project. I am great diy'er so I looked for instructions on crutchfield but they haven't researched the NX yet. The bestbuy guy said that they can do it but they charge a ridiculous amount on labor.
