How can I identify the sound system?
How can I identify the sound system that came with my wife's RX350 2009? It has navigation system with rear camera, 18" chrome wheels, wiper blades starts on its own when it rains and heated seats.
What I want to do is replace the woofer(if it has) with more powerful because our sons are now teenagers and are complaining that the vehicle needs more base in it.
I am not even sure if replacing the woofer with more power will do the trick.
Please advise.

Welcome to Club Lexus, LoLoM.
Unfortunately for your situation there is not a separate subwoofer in your RX. Like many topics here at CL, yours has been discussed on numerous occasions. Here is one thread for you to check out, amongst many:

As for identifying the system in your RX350, the base system is from Pioneer. If you have the upgraded Mark Levinson system it would be noted just above the CD slot and by the additional speaker on the front dash just above the NAV display.

Using the links you gave me, I can conclude that I have the pioneer sound system.
As I mentioned above, I just want more base in the sound system but I don't want to replace everything in it.
How can I add a subwoofer to the system without replacing everything in it? I just want the simplest way of doing it. I don't know if this is possible, say, replace or add amplifier that has connection for a sub?
If the above is possible, where is the amplifier for 2009 rx350 located? How about the place for the sub? Is there other hiding place other than the spare tire compartment?
By the way, how about removing one of the speakers and directly replace it a subwoofer? This sounds very stupid but I don't have the slightest idea on how sound system works. Is this going to damage the sound system????
Please share some ideas...
EDIT: Last week I noticed that extra sub in my garage. It's an 8" or 10" sub, 180 watts. Then I remembered that I have two of those, unless I forgot that I already gave one away to a friend hehehe... I am thinking of using this unless it is too big for the available hiding places of an RX350.

I have (had?) the same problem. The base RX350 system is really bad and the little bass there is sounds muddy. I have added (as you will see at the thread above) a Kenwood KSC SW11C. Inexpensive - fits under the driver's seat - easy installation. I set it at 100Hz and mid-level volume, and it helps a lot. Good luck!
