I've got the exact same issue right now with my 01 GS300 with the ML system. I need a new sub because the guy I bought my car off of blew the speaker I think.

I'm having the same problem but only with high volumes, is it a subwoofer issue or just the grill and other stuff in the back rattling? Should i check to see if the speaker surround is broken or anything?

I used to own an old Q45 Infiniti. It had the same issue until I opened up the speaker housing and found a broken tab that would rattle around when the volumes got up there. It was already severed so I just took it out and the problem was solved!

Guys I just finished removing my rear deck and inspecting the ML 8" speaker. It turns out that the rubber lip that is attached to the cone seperated from the housing causing it to flap depending on the bass level. I reattached the lip and sealed the entire housing with Goop clear sealant (I used this because although it is dry it can still flex to allow the cone to move up and down.......I'm giving it a chance to dry now and will post the results later...

Man I wish it was that easy!!! Unfortunately you have to remove the rear seat, the two pillars and then slide the rear deck out (The damn rear grill is a part of the deck ) ...With
the right tools its nothing....Check out Banana GS DIY page..(make a donation) http://lexusmodz.netfirms.com/
Oh yeah...The Goop worked great no more rattles
