hey guys, ive got an is250 sports lux w/ the premium mark levinson sound system and i dont know if my sub is totally screwed or if thats how its supposed to be.

On some songs it gives off good bass (or unless it from speakers on the doors) but some songs it sounds like the subby in the rear shelf is broken, or ripped and makes weird "non bass" sounds when bass hits. And this sounds is even louder when the volume is lower.

Just tonight i shined a torch in the speaker grille and got a little look of the sub and it appears to be in one piece so i dont think its physically ripped around the edges.

Anyone else have/had this problem? Know anything i can try to fix it? Is replacement my best option? or is this normal behaviour for the sub?

Thanks heaps

Is your car still under warranty? If so take it to the dealer, make them fix it

If it sounds like someone is "breaking the wind"... then, your sub is blown.

If it's under warranty, it needs to be replaced.

i wish it was still under warranty its an 06 and i bought it 2nd hand, so my best guess is its def out of warranty. Does anyone know an Australian OEM part number for the ML sub?

LEGEND! massive help! as i plan to install an aftermarket sub and amp. so the rear parcel shelf is held down by 3 clips? were they hard to pull up?

ydnandy

Cool, that thread will help you a lot with the install. I don't remember those clips being much trouble to pull up.

if your throwing some subs, just disconnect it. the subs are crappy regardless i threw new subs in the car right away. plus the ml comes with subs under the seats also.

No it doesn't.

3 drivers in each front door
2 drivers in each rear door
2 drivers on the rear parcel tray
1 rear sub
1 front center channel
