haha yeah I sold mine a while back, however I do miss it lol kinda like that crazy ex girlfriend

thank you for the remark!! also at first I kept the factory amp, however it had a buzzing sound which drove me nuts, so I ended up replacing the factory amp with a 5 channel Clarion unit and I made a custom center subwoofer with 2 passive radiators, I recommend you watch that video so you can see the bypass harness I built using two more harness connectors, now my system sounds lovely and I'm super happy with it, you don't have to go ham like I did but if you need to bypass your factory amp that video will help you.

@@fleuriejeanpierre thanks man, that little sub is super impressive for sure, given the enclosure size, everyone that hears it has a pretty epic expression because you wouldn’t expect that much output out of it lol, I might mess around and do a similar set up but one size bigger in the back, we’ll see

wonderful, glad I could help.

so I thought about doing something like that however I'm not sure I could make them cheap enough to make it worth the time, I do think it's worth building and I'm glad I went this route because the sound is actually better then I expected, I'm not super tech savvy but I do want to post some plans with dimensions on how to build your own.

@@MJ-ex8dl well these engines are known for blowing the head-gasket right at cylinder 6, which is the cylinder that feeds exhaust gasses into the EGR system, that along with the fact that it’s the last cylinder to get coolant creates excessive heat in that cylinder causing issues, so if you delete EGR it helps make the engine more reliable and less prone to blowing a head-gasket

@@harrisonwilkes560 thank you and yes I ended up bypassing the factory Amp, i actually also upgraded the center console subwoofer with a custom set up, I have all the audio related videos in my playlist if you’re interested in watching them, long story short pulled the factory amp and replaced it with a Class D, 5Chanel Clarion Amp, but you can just bypass the factory amp with the factory outputs from the head unit although you will loose the factory center subwoofer unless you somehow wire it back in hence why I chose to upgrade that as well.

@@brendaalquiza1496 yeah they’re the worst😤

Haha I figure most of it out 😅

@@edperez1206 I’m still working on how I will put together a good demo, stay tuned for that part🤟

You had enough room up front for a bass reflex enclosure and are getting more lower end. I wish I had enough room to do that, but my center console is just not shaped for that.

@@JasonWW2000 that’s really interesting, my goal originally was just to utilize the factory subwoofer location and get more bass then factory, it’s funny you mention the rear, so turns out the Landcruiser model has subwoofer in the back, Lexus LX450 has it in the front, however both models have the provisions for both front and rear subs mounting points since it’s basically the same vehicle, I’ve seriously been considering mounting a 8” in the rear and just sourcing out the factory trim panels from a Landcruiser model, there is plenty of space back there for a box and amplifier, I think that would give me the best of both worlds, I’m super satisfied with the current set up and I love the way it sounds, unfortunately there’s a certain addiction to sound systems lol and it just never seems to be enough will see…

@carsnstuff6022 If you do go with an 8 inch in the rear, make sure it's a ported enclosure. It should sound more musical. I see you've got some extra subs. Play around and experiment with those to see what sounds best. Tune it low. 👍

@@JasonWW2000 yeah I probably will, there’s also the next size up of the same subwoofer and passive radiators I used in this video available and I think that would a cool set up, 5.5” up front and 8” in the rear 👍

Yessir so these speaker and radiators came with foam, after i installed the threaded inserts I was able to really crank them down for a perfect seal

So I’m running what I think is a really cool stealth set up lol, in the previous video I went over that basically it’s a Clarion Class D 5 Channel Amp and runs my entire sound system, the amp is mounted above the glove box and it’s wired into a separate fuse box I installed in the kick panel, the fuse box is designed not only to run the amp but also any other future accessories I decide to add such as lights radio etc, check it out if you’d like the best part the whole system is concealed so you’d never know it’s there 👍

​@carsnstuff6022 Yeah, I watched that. It was a while ago and I forgot all about it! Lol. The lack of information on that model of amp is giving me sketchy vibes. I hope it's working for you. Do you have a bass knob? You can get a universal model that plugs inline with the rca cable. You can turn the channel five gain up and then use the base knob two attenuate the signal to whatever you feel like based on the song that playing.

@@BIGZOE there’s one in the previous video but I’m working on doing something, it’s hard because UA-cam kills sound quality and there’s the whole copyright thing, I’m sure there is a way tho, if you know something I don’t let me know i would like to do a nice Demo because it sounds really nice

@@str8304 I put some but not enough and it has been on my mind

Huh? That seems a waste. Dynamat, or CLD in general, is best used on thin, flexible materials like sheetmetal or plastic. This is a small mdf box. That sub is not going to be flexing the walls of that box.

@@RajinderSinghBajwa-p8i the sound quality is amazing, and I get this question allot, I don’t think allot of people realize these 3 work as a set and it’s meant to work in small enclosures, I’ll have to add the factory specs and recommendations in the description, I will also make a separate video showing the system in action although it’s difficult to capture sound quality and demonstrate it on YT plus they don’t like copyright stuff and I don’t want to get hit with violations, but yes the setup sounds amazing, the overall sound quality is better then I expected and I used WinISD to tune this set up down to 30Hz 👍

​@carsnstuff6022 Theoretical software tuning usually gets you in the ballpark, but if you actually want to know the tuning of the enclosure, you should get a device like the DATS. The Dayton Audio Test System. This is the only way to know for sure what the actual tuning is.

Originally this was probably my main concern, since the enclosure is bolted to the floor now, I've gotten 0 rattles coming from the center console, I didn't show this in the videos much but I did trim allot of plastic inside the console to fit everything properly so the interior pieces of the console don't touch the actual enclosure.

so that's the beauty of the set up, feel free to check out my other videos I explain the set up in more detail, that's only 1 subwoofer or "main driver" that driver powers 2 passive radiators (the side ones) it's the most ideal set up for a small enclosure, it works similar to one of those Bluetooth JBL speakers but in a larger scale, long story short the total output is amazing with lots of bass in a very compact set up, it's tunned to 30Hz btw.

It's basically one speaker in a ported enclosure. The radiators function similar to a port, but don't take up any of the interior airspace.

@@JasonWW2000bingo!!! I was originally going to make a ported box until I realized how big the port needed to be in order to get the proper tuning also I risked creating unwanted resonance the radiators worked out way better 👍

You obviously didn't watch the video

​@@stevofla239That kind of comment is not helpful.

I actually ended up doing that when I installed the engine back in the car, I ground it down with my bench grinder and got it to go down a few more threads, worked out in the end.

@@carsnstuff6022 usually everyone realizes this when doing the oilpan , almost all the support bars are not tall enough and hits the hook! My E46 tow hook fits in the e9xs perfectly weird how they did that!

@@bigben75ford yes it did, works great 👍

@@Nexed.A87 yeah they’re still holding up great!! Not sure if that would still be the case on a much more powerful speaker

@carsnstuff6022 so you only used the screws? Any fasteners? I'm currently changing my son's and just wanted to know

@@Nexed.A87 yes only the screws and the spacer, you can also line the spacer or the speaker flange in double sided 3M foam tape if you’re worried, it’ll hold plus seal so it will improve sound as well

Perfect!! That’s a great father son project, happy father days btw. If you have any questions let me know, always glad to help.

thank you so much!! I'm editing the second video as we speak on this system so you can check out the final outcome really soon

thank you, it's still a work in progress for sure

its a work in progress bud..

thanks and yes I thought about stuff rattling in the center council but I figures I could put some type of fabric in it worst case scenario.

@@carsnstuff6022 Black felt

@@edjackson4389 yeah something like that, I will make an update on that if I have to do something like that.

Thank you

Hi I can try my best to help you, which connector harness are you using?

thank you for the kind comment!!

so there are 3 choices, you can use the factory AMP, I don't recommend that option because you might get a humming sound, you can bypass the amp and wire the speakers directly to your new head unit or you can replace the factory amp with a aftermarket amp which will also delete your center subwoofer, easiest option is wire your speakers directly to the head unit and you won't get that humming sound.

Hi, thank you for commenting, are you referring to a OBDII scanner? or the actual resistor I installed? either way you can get both on eBay, I do have a few resistors left over I'm not sure how I could get one to you but let me know.

I don't think that one would work with my Lexus radio, that harness has two connectors the one I needed only used 1, however I would have soldered them anyhow, I'm not a fan of using butt connectors, I did use a similar harness for the amp bypass harness I constructed, that's not shown in this video but that one is coming soon.

I already did, I built a custom set up for it, working on that video right now 👍

Yes for sure, I’m glad it helped you, it’s alway nice to see that people get value from the videos I post, i just posted one for a aftermarket JVC head unit however my next video will be of a really cool subwoofer install and factory amp replacement I did on my truck, I should have it out in the next week or two, I’m working on producing better videos but it’s a learning curve and takes a while lol

No problem thanks for watching, the mic on that area actually sounds like a nice place, after having it on the A pillar for a while I’ve realized it’s not the best area because it interferes with the visor so I might re locate it the next time I get the radio bezel off and try that

Thank you so much!!

I pulled it from the top in this case it wasn't difficult at all but I have heard if you have a lift dropping it thru the bottom is the way to go.

thank you!!

thank you for watching, so mine is not 3X locked but honestly I'm not concerned with that since I don't do heavy off-roading at least at the moment anyway, I'm working on a subwoofer upgrade right now and I have to post a video on that because it's really cool.

I'm glad it's helped people I no longer own this vehicle but I do miss it and low key wish I added a few things to the video so it bring more value to the folks that see it.

There sure is a lot that can be said about these cars! If I were to start again on this car I might do things a hell of a lot different. @@carsnstuff6022

so I re-built mine with Activated Carbon media, you can buy it at a pet store, they use that stuff for aquarium filters, I took the canister apart, cleaned all the valves with solvent, made sure they work properly, replaced the media inside the canister with the activated carbon and then re assembled the canister using epoxy to re seal it, it worked great for me, no fuel smell and the system works as it should, some guys do retro fit a GM canister but I like OEM look so I went the re build route.

Was it hard to open the canister?

@@xzerbaluyot9994 no it wasn’t unused a grinding wheel to grind down the weld around the of the canister until the top of the canister and the canister it self separated then pulled it all apart re built it put it all back together and then epoxied it shut, others will weld bead around the top but I don’t have a welder, I then painted the canister with black spray paint

no following your question entirely, the only holding the assembly to the vehicle were I believe 3 10 mil bolts that hold it to the inside of the fender as well as the big chrome nut on the top of the grommet that holds the top of the antenna to the fender

so the first set of speakers are the front door speakers and the second smaller speakers are the rear door speakers

Right but the one under the glove box?

@@theos6457 yeah so the LX450 has some speaker on the dashboard one on each side, o haven’t messed with them yet but I believe they are 2.5” I don’t believe the Landcruiser has them although some models have some in the headliner in the back

I’m working on a replacing the center council subwoofer right now, I’m actually replacing the whole enclosure with a 5.5inch subwoofer with two passive radiators, working on that video but it’s taking me for ever to complete because I have brand new twins lol

Twins AND a 450. You have your hands full sir!@@carsnstuff6022

for sure!!!
