Hey guys,

Just a random idea I thought of doing. But I have almost no idea about audio systems.

Is it possible to add an extra Subwoofer(with an extra amp) to the ML system while keeping the stock speakers and subwoofers in place. I'm not planning to spend way crazy for this and I'm not into too much Bass.

The posts I found after searching was to completely change the whole system or changing the ML subwoofer to Polk Audio.

Thank you!

Yes, you need a line output converter. Although I wouldn't have the new sub clash with the ML sub, just unhook the ML sub and tune your aftermarket sub to fill in for it. I am planning on doing this, and I will completely removed the ML sub and the aftermarket sub will be in the trunk using the hole where the ML sub was as a sort of passthrough. I will add deadening material in the area too to eliminate any rattles. I hear the sun shade is a problem spot

Not sure how to tune the aftermarket sub?? I bought a powered 10" subwoofer, Rockford Fosgate. It has a built in line output converter. I just ran speaker wire to the wires on the lexus sub woofer, I wasn't able to disconnect the wires so I just wrapped and soldered it to the exposed copper braid wire on the existing sub. I know that isn't the proper way to do it, but as mentioned, no idea how to disconnect the old speaker readily. I ran a heavy power cable to the battery up front under the door sills and a ground cable in the trunk. It sounds great, not too much. Hope you find this helpful.

Yes, that is how I would have it done it too. I am repenting selling my 12" JBL sub just few months ago.
I used it in my previous SUV and that had a terrific boom. This one... https://www.crutchfield.com/S-5CVmuy...BassPro12.html

That 12" JBL would be great in an RX or bigger!
