Thank you for finally pointing out the actual connectors rather than all the forums stating "Hook up to green and brown wires"... There are fifteen green wires lol! Hooked up Kicker Hs10 with speaker sense and works fine... IS350, Navi, Non ML.

Bless you for this video. Finding info on audio systems for this car is a pain in the ass.

Dude, running a remote wire and the LOC from the factory amp is genius! Saves so much time! Thanks man!

absolutely beautiful, man. I really appreciate seeing "entry level" equipment getting proper love and people install. Seems like every kid nowadays needs the hugest, most inefficient drivers, etc This is really cool and looks like it sounds great

Just installed my sub and couldn't have been any easier thanks to your video. Running a single 10 inch Skar DS2 with their 800 watt amp and custom box. It hits super hard!!! Probably spent around 300 or less! Super happy to be bumpin again. I come from the photobucket supported forum days and with most pictures removed from all the once helpful threads, your video was a huge help with my IS.

Bro that young jeezy album was meant to be heard with a nice car system installed in the whip. Good choice for the demo track lol

you need to do a video but about the regular speakers... how to change oem amp to aftermarket with same cable harness

Thank you for this video. This method works for the Non-Navi system is250s as well.

Excellent video young man. You know what you're doing. You remind me of what I was doing in the 80's car hifi wise. Excellent of you to actually do a sub install on the 2nd gen is250 and especially letting us know which wires do what. Good onya m8 👍👍👍

We miss your videos man you but you continue to help a lot of us bass heads out here thanks

This video is so simple, yet so in depth! Thank you so much!!

Amazing video, definitely the best audio install video i've ever seen, thank you for the tutorial!

I did my wife's truck with the same amp skar 800 and 2 DC level 1 10 inch subs. Sounds great. You did a good job . Looks really nice

Great video for learning . Sent to my son so he could understand his install better

i have the same exact car and i just wanted to get a better Audio sound for a Good budget ! Man i just stumbled on to your video this is exactly what i needed !! Much thankss

That monster system is amazing!

BRO!!!!! This video is everything I need and more. I have the same car and I have been itching to add some more bass. The way you looped the RCA's in was gravy!! Also, that other set up in the Hummer is fucken nuts man great stuff!! #BringBackBass

Thanks bro u got straight to the point and greatt!!! Detail

Thank you for the sub wire info! Saved me a ton of time!

Love that flush mount box ! I myself have the Rp1500.1 with 2 D4 12s in the skar encloser tuned at 32hz. I have the subs facing the back seat with them down it definitely gets windy! I also have an alpine for the highs fsx65s in the doors 4 VX35 tweeters , m69c massive audio in the back deck plus sound deadener in the trunk lid, quarter panel & doors great but cheap stuff! Sound quality isn't in the price!

This has got to be the best video I've seen yet you should work for lexis you could teach them something thanks

My 2007 was a pink wire for the remote off the factor amp

a very helpful video. Thanks! Wondering why you even need to connect the remote turn-on cable; the mono amp supposed to turn on when it detects a signal from the factory speaker wires and automatically turn off when there is no more signal (i.e. when the head unit is shut down)

I love my is250 I got 2 8w7's in a 4th order and hybrid audio and zapco amps with a 16 channel dsp

This helped me put a lot! Thank you got everything set (im pretty sure each model has a different amp cause i had the use the mythic orange wire lol)

Just wanted to come back and let you know. Aftermarket headunit installs on the Lexus was much more difficult than I would have liked. You got to gut the main board out of the stock head unit, build a case for it, plug it all back in and tuck it away. Install your new headunit where the old cd player was, I then ran 4 channels of RCA wires and 1 speaker level to the back where the stock amp was. Removed the stock amp completely, mad mounting brackets for a small 5 channel amp, wired up the door speakers in front and rear, Didn't use the center speaker(never liked it) or the stock sub. Installed 2 10 inch subwoofers in the trunk. So pretty much I am using none of the stock audio wires but had to gut the headunit so I could keep the hvac working otherwise without the factory headunit plugged in I didn't have mpg,fan, heat,ac. If I had to do it all over again I honestly don't think I would. I would likely just do it the way you did. I still need to 3d print some trim to make the install look finished. I would rather do aftermarket audio install in my infiniti 10 times over before doing it in the Lexus again

Can you make a quick list of all the parts you used?

Thank GOD for playing Thug Motivation 😭

Sounds hella good i do think you shoulda have removed the top deck factory sub so when the arm rest is closed it acts as a port from the trunk and gives a lil deeper bass

I came from a Alphard audio 5500 on 2 Dc xl 18s. Now i have a 2011 is350 running 2 sundown sa 10s in a 4th order on a skar sk1500

Inspiring me rn man

bouta put in work with my Stimulus Build on my isF too! You made me want to get a Zv5

Great video 👍🏼banging on a budget 😊 I love it,

I love this video thank you for sharing, I would like to buy the same subwoofer box you have for my 2005 is350 Lexus

Why pull the sun from the rear deck if your just unplugging it at the amp? No need even pulling the seat in that case or the rear deck.

Great video Bro! So was the factory sub not being used anymore from seeing your wiring? Is that not an option to keep it and still pull a signal from it? Also, I noticed the polarity was reversed when you verified your remote signal…that ended up being all good?

This is sick. Have you just tried to improve Mark Levinson ? Probably one of the best set-ups in car audio...

Nice build🔥🔥👌🏻👌🏻 but it would sound much better if you have the subs 2-3 inches away from the trunk . My friend has the same subs in a Honda Civic with a ported enclosure and his hits hard

my factory amp in my is250 Is bad. Can i bypass the amp?

Will the stock sub still work after doing this

I have an 09 is 250 and I have everything wired the way you showed in the video, cut wires to crimp on the high/low converter and connected all the right wires. Only difference is that I wired my remote through a switch and then to my cigarette lighter for power to have to option to shut off the aftermarket amp and sub. When the sub/amp is turned off, everything is normal with the sound system, but like 5-10 seconds after the amp powers on I lose audio from all speakers in the car. When I turn the amp back off I get sound from the other speakers again after Bluetooth reconnects from my FM transmitter. Was wondering if you had any idea as to what could be causing this. I did also tape off the wires going to the factory sub separately so nothing would short out. Everything checks out with multimeter except I don’t seem to be getting signal coming through the LOC to go to the amp. Not sure as to why. Thanks for reading

thx man, this video made it super easy!

Yo bro awesome video , but quick question do I have to remove the factory subwoofer? Or can I leave it since I’ll be splicing up in the trunk .

Nicely well done build up very impressive build up hits hard pound's great to

Hello Sir, I have a 2009 Lexus ES350, but I’m not sure which wire harness I need to use from the Factory Amplifier located in the trunk right side. I’m trying to connect a “Line Output Converter Adjustable Amplifier”. Thank you.

So do i have to remove the factory sub in order for it to work, or can i just tap into the factory amp and do it that way?

This is Mark Levinson sound system? I want to try this instruction, but in my IS220 mark levinson system...

Thank you very much for this video! I know I'm a year late, but I was thinking about running 2 sundown E 15s, a wavtech LOC, and a trauma audio 1000D. Do you think that is overkill for a lexus ls460 L ??? Thank you.

What information can you provide in replacing the head unit to something more modern since it controls HVAC? I’ve seen some custom installs that have a second unit underneath, replacing ONLY the CD player.

Thanks for helping me out

thank you so much for this video, you're going to save me a lot of time. i have 1 question tho PLEASE, do i have to do the steps in 2:40? cant i just do what you did in 4:38 and skip the whole removing seats?

My converter has a pair of left wires, a pair of right, but it also has a pair of grounds that I’m not sure what to do with. It’s a truconnex am I still able to use it?

This is awesome! Would the wiring be the same for a 2014 is250 fsprt? I’d love to do something like this

Do you have to unplug the factory sub? Or am I able to bypass having to do that and remove the back seats and all that?

I want to bypass my stock amp and connect my door speakers to a new amp, but have no idea where to start or how to do it ( on a budget ) lol Also in the amp in the rear do you know where i could find a color code diagram for the speakers ? Thanks and great video ! Very helpful 👌🏽

Great video! I just ran across this while looking to upgrade the sub in my own IS. Question, who made the box? It looks to be about 2 cubic ' internal? Thanks in advance!

I have a question bro i just saw this video😁 so i got my subs put in, i went to my audio shop and he didnt disconnect the factory subwoofer i guess he just tap into the factory amp, is there any way that i can disconnect that by not taking off the whole back seat? Like popped the panel/ cover of the stock sub? Thank you

So your only power wire going to 800rms amp is that tiny white wire?????? I have a 2014 es350 ML....i want to install my jls. I like the idea of using the white wire for the remote wire, and also tapping into the factory amp for the loc.

Are all the wires on the plugs the same on a non Mark levinston system without navigation?

Clean build bro.

i know this is 3 years ago but do you happen to have a link or remember where you got your box made?

Hey man where do I get the speakers and box. I have ah Lexus IS 250 2008. I want my system like your. Can you tell me everything to get. Please answer me. Thank u for your time

Just discovered your Chanel. Love your videos man. You don't mind putting the link for a the stuff used here on this video . So I can buy em

for some reason im not able to get any sound or base ..pls help

Hell yeah man I appreciate this video so much! I was wondering why you didn’t tap into the wires to keep the stock sub also plugged in? I’m trying it that way but it’s proving to be a pain in the ass

I have a question. Why didn’t you leave the factory sub connected as well? Does it not have enough signal after you tap into the wires?

Do I need to do the wiring to factory subwoofer?? I’m trying to avoid that part lol

So if I was going to use the same set up for the lexus would I need that big of power wire?

Awesome 🙂👍 thats a nice box too

Nice video super simple

Can you keep the factory sub installed? I really don’t wanna take my seats out and such haha

It’s probably mentioned, What year is your is250?

Tapped into the white wire as you said. didnt turn on the amp. any suggestions?

Once the wires are tapped in, do you reconnect them into the factory amplifier or are they left unplugged? Apologies if that is a dumb question. Thanks in advance!

Great video. Thoughts on adding dynamat to the trunk to help with rattle?

Nice budget setup

Hay man o just had a question so I’m hooking up a sub with a LC2i how would I wire that

Ty for this video

do you have to go behind the seat and undo that dvc sub? or can I skip that step and install my kickers?

? my amps stop working, can i install an aftermarket amps and would it work?

@nextlevelhummer, do you know which wires are the line level ins to the amp? I’d like to tap into the stereo out before it’s amplified.

How did you remove the little door behind the sub box that gives access to the middle seat, do I have to remove the seat to take that off or can I unbolt it from the trunk?

How do you run the wires for the power from the battery to the trunk

Any recommendations on replacing all 13 speakers on the 06 is250? Thinking about replacing all of them with something better, also what amp would you recommend for them?

Hi Lexus lovers, I'm having this issue "no sound from the stereo" I just replaced the nav and radio also check the amp and is good, but still no sound from the stereo. No fusse problems either. I just realized that the radio has no power what could it be the problem??

How much room is left behind the box for the amp? I was thinking of mounting my hifonics amp to the box so the logo would shine through the pass through when down.

i need that same box made where can i go ill do the same set up also

This is def what I needed too. I couldn’t find wires to connect for loc to work. But why did you cut wires off amp instead of just tapping into it?

So by using that output device and cutting the stock sub wires for the stock amp, are you cutting off the stock sub all together as well?

Nice looking to do something like this. Man my amp is out again. My vol knob not registering…u think any amp would work? Or what would u rec?

Tried to do this but it went the whole wrong way idk what I did but now my radio doesn’t work at all and says audio off when I turn my radio on I tried reconnecting my wires back and connecting the amp back to normal and still have nothing anyone know what could be going on..?

Dedonde agarraste tu tiera para el ampli

Hey man nice info. Is it the same procedure with the ISF Lexus?

Love it sound great… do you know where I can order enclosure for 2022 Lexus IS 350 f sport… thank you

So those connectors for the stock amp. You just plug it back into the stock amp? And how you install the bass switch

Yea I did all this the same way and my amp turns on but speakers aren’t working

When you connect the speaker wire to the amp can you still use the stock sub and run after market amp and run aftermarket sub

Wonder if the wiring would be the same on my 2015 gs350 mark levinson.

What year of Lexus IS is this?? I have a 2012 and I’m bout to do a install myself, have the LC2i converter and wanted to know if my stock amp set would be the same as yours, I’m also local and Washington based would love to pick your brain on the set up!!

Is that a zen enclosure? Looks like one and I've been looking at one for my car
