    • Lexus LS 430 subwoofer replaced

UPDATE [Four Year's later 7/2020]: Still going strong, still using almost every day, OEM amp doing just fine; nothing has changed! UPDATE [Two Year's later 7/2018]: I have had this Dayton subwoofer installed for nearly two full years, and its been smooth sailing. Very happy with the purchase, as well as its performance. Still sounds as great as the day I installed iy, and the old Mark Levinson amplifier seems to still kick butt when playing at any volume. Keep it low for general background music when going grocery shopping with your mother, or crank it up loud enough you have to almost yell to talk to your buddies riding in the back. It'll do its job aplomb with no sweat. Yes, if you jack up the "Bass" EQ on the stereo too much it will distort by reaching its maximum excursion. Otherwise if you're mildly sane about your listening habits it should be perfectly adequate. Heck the dummy writing this review in his twenties who listens to generic bass-y EDM all the time finds it perfectly suitable. Doesn't even matter if its Buffalo Springfield, Eurythmics, Lil Jon, or Avicii, it will perform as well as the original speaker will. You will not go wrong installing this if your previous subwoofer is acting up in your LS 430. I have attached a rudimentary dBa / Frequency Response graph of the performance of the SD215AA-88 in the LS 430. Take this with a grain of salt since it wasn't using any scientific equipment ( Sound Meter, COLEMETER Decibel Meter Digital Noise Meter Tester Range 30-130dB(A) with LCD Display(Batteries included) ). But it should give a very rough estimate to its capability. UPDATE [8 months+ later]: It's been almost eight months since i replaced the old subwoofer in my vehicle with this Dayton model. That and i've put about 15,000 miles in my LS 430 (i drive lots). Again, it has been flawless in sound reproduction and more importantly (to me at this point) the stock decade-plus old Mark Levinson amplifier in my vehicle has never cracked under the pressure of me turning it up loudly. And i do listen to my stuff at above average volumes. Seriously, if you have a broken LS 430 subwoofer you could either a- spend about 10 bux to fix it with glue (which honestly will probably go bad again since it's still beating beat down by the sun when you drive) or b- spend the $30 to get this and replace it with one as good as the one that came with the vehicle and not worry about it. Or heaven forbid c- pay the ridiculous prices for a new Mark Levinson subwoofer on eBay. [ORIGINAL REVIEW]: Purchased to replace a blown subwoofer in my vehicles rear deck. I purchased this specifically over the recommended Polk db840DVC because the Dayton had the capability to wire for 16 ohm impedance, of which the OEM was rated for as well. Versus the Polk which could only manage 8 ohms with it's dual 4 ohm coils. For about thirty bucks or so it's so far met and exceeded my expectations. It's not quite as musical as an HSU subwoofer for example and exhibits a one-note-wonder type of sound, but I'm willing to forgive that as it's installed in a less-then-ideal place (under the rear window in a small metal cavity completely undampened) than for what it's originally intended for (a properly made and designed subwoofer enclosure). All in all im satisfied with its performance. It gets QUITE loud even for my tastes, and thankfully the stock amplifier (of over 13 years) seems to be able to power it without breaking much of a sweat. Enough to rattle my center mirror at least. PS: while not a 100% drop in replacement for the LS 430 subwoofer, you can install this without cutting, drilling, or otherwise modifying anything to the car beyond the stock two-piece plastic frame that houses the OEM subwoofer. The difference being that the two plastic frame assemblies that are used to hold the OEM sub is configured differently. I didn't take note of how it was originally oriented, but right now both frames are above the subwoofer opening, pushing down on the Dayton subwoofer frame. This also means that the screw mounts are higher above than original. But they are still long enough to screw down the plastic frame and hold the Dayton sub in place without much issue. No gluing, no cutting or anything (i didnt have any silicone or material to do so, but i might have done so if i did just to be safe). Also basic soldering skills are required to connect fresh new wires to the OEM power connector as well as to wire the sub correctly. ... show more

    • Ample output for a front door mounted setup in a large SUV.
Has some extended range for a sub and the DVC 8 Ohm/coil is what I was looking for in my application. It has just been installed and is still not broken in yet but is providing some solid low end, and moving some air. I have this in a 3 way set up in custom door pods, using door as extended enclosure about 2L with a 2" x 6" port, powering the system with 175 wpc. Have not turned it up past mid level so cannot rate how it takes full power but it is plenty loud for me at that level in front doors of SUV and hasn't bottomed out with a high pass off 40 Hz. Crossed this over about 150 Hz but I think it would successfully do well at 300 Hz easily. Preliminary sound is tight and punchy not boomy as expected from a speaker with these characteristics. It really helps balance out the highs in my system (I have a custom center dash pod I made with some 4" coaxials, and an additional 2 tweeters on the A pillars which would be way too much without this sub I think) and the stage is high and the music is sounding good and balanced so far without much fine tuning. It is also nice to know Parts Express has my back with a guarantee if I need it as well. If I blow it up I will replace it with the same speaker and attenuate it a bit, I think I have the SPL freedom to do that if I need to and still be happy with the low end it produces. Very happy with this "bargain" speaker. ... show more

    • Great Replacement for small Sub
I needed to replace a blown MTX sub and Figured I would give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance especially at the price point. If i need another replacement home theater sub I will buy this brand again.

    • Cheap sub
Cheap subwoofer. It’s an 8ohm DVC. Does not perform as good as oem factory which are 2 ohm base. Bass is primarily mid boom with absolutely zero bottom / low sound. I kept my 12 yr old toyota oem sub and am happy with my return

    • 2001 Suburban stock subwoofer upgrade - NOT a drop in replacement sub!
I purchased this to go into my 2001 Chevy Suburban SLT that had a stock 8" sub location. Well, it does not fit a 2001 Suburban SLT stock sub location without a handful of mods. Some reviews here stated it does, however, that is not the case but also not the speaker's fault. It takes a custom mount ring and parts of the stock sub to fabricate a mounting system. Have some rope seal available to use between the mounting system parts to stop air leaks and isolate the parts from one another. The stock sub box is too shallow by almost a 1/2" so the magnet hits the back wall, plus it needs 3/4lb of polyfil inside and MLV on the surfaces to stop the ringing. You will also need longer screws since you must space the sub further out. Once I fabricated the baffles and gaskets, plus a mounting ring made from part of the stock sub's basket that I jig sawed apart, it sealed well and there were no air leaks around the mounting points. The fabricated mounting ring basically "sandwiches" the sub and baffles down to the stock sub mounting surface. I wired the dual voice coils for a 4 ohm load so that the sub has up to 75-80 watts of power available from my amp. Crossed about 80hz it is doing a very nice job of adding enough low end to the system and blending well with the 6.5" components in the front doors. The speaker surround does not hit any part of the stock grill while playing hard, nice. Cabin gain picks up the lowest octaves nicely in these big Suburbans. If this had been a drop in replacement it would be perfect. As it is now, it is doing a satisfactory job! Plus I gained back some space since we haul 4-6 people around to weekend long soccer tournaments and games, and I need that back cargo area available. ... show more

    • Ls430 perfect fit
Worked perfect on my LS430 with the ML system, make sure u wire it up correctly for 16 ohm and then mount it directly to the deck with a little padding maybe and some self tapping screws, no need to reuse the casing of the original sub. Works fantastic and is very loud! So worth it
