Hey y’all this is part 2 of my center subwoofer saga, in this episode I take the enclosure back apart in order to re-enforce the set up, I replaced the wood screws that held the speakers on with threaded inserts along with machine screws this will allow me to install speakers allot tighter to the enclosure therefore creating a better seal, also I incorporated a bracket that allows me to bolt th...

LX450 antena mast replacement
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 года назад
In this episode I explain the replacement of the antena mast, in this case the gear that drives the antena up and down is broken on my antena so it doesn’t work 100% but at least I don’t have a broken antena, for now I have bigger fish to fry so I will be focusing on the front hubs and drivetrain before I mess any further with the antena.

Very helpful.
wonderful, glad I could help.
Are you going to make any to sell
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.
What is the benefit of removing the egr? Thanks for documenting!
@@MJ-ex8dl well these engines are known for blowing the head-gasket right at cylinder 8, 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
Excellent video!! I’m hoping to tackle this install myself in the next few days.. did you have to bypass the factory amp to get a clear static free sound? P.s. your garage looks like mine.. I love my LX and 2GS
@@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.
Awesome!!
Nobody likes a flat tire! Good job fixing it
@@brendaalquiza1496 yeah they’re the worst😤
Wow! So cool. Is there anything you can’t do?!
Haha I figure most of it out 😅
I want to hear it 😄
@@edperez1206 I’m still working on how I will put together a good demo, stay tuned for that part🤟
I've got a Navigator which is pretty similar in size to your vehicle. Using an RTA and testing sub positions in relation to the drivers head position I found some interesting things. A sub in the rear of the vehicle extends very low, but rolls off above 45hz. (Due to a cancellation effect) My factory rear sub was an 8 inch in a sealed enclosure and this explains why it had a one note bass sound. It was all 40-45hz. A sub up front played well from 40 on up. It covered most of the musical spectrum. You just lacked the really low end. I ended up running a ported enclosure in the rear tuned to 27hz (although 30 is okay, too). It plays 50 and down. Then I ran a sealed enclosure with an 8" up front. It plays 50 to 80hz. Then my front door speakers cover 80hz and up. So a really large interior space vehicle is both a blessing and a curse. You can get really low, deep bass from a rear sub, but you'll miss out on the upper bass unless to go through all the trouble of adding a front sub/mid bass driver.
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 👍
To get a really good seal on those radiators and sub, you can find some adhesive back foam at the hardware store. Apply it to the back lip of the drivers and when you tighten it down, it's gonna be airtight. Because the adhesive is on one side only, it's easy to remove the drivers later on.
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
I'm really liking this setup. It should be great for a low to moderate volume sound system. Great up front bass capable of blending with the front stage. Are you running it on a seperate amp? You might be able to tap into the factory fusebox input and run an 8 gauge power cable off of it with a 40A fuse. That would give you potentially four hundred watts of power available. You can mount a little used Rockford Prime 500 under the seat. Have a flush mounted bass knob somewhere convenient. Yeah, that would be rocking!
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.
No demo?!?!!?!
@@BIGZOE there’s one in the previous video but I’m working on doing something, it’s hard because RUclips 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
put some sounddeadenig or dynomat for the inside of that box along with that padding will really make it bump
@@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.
impressive yet wonder about sound quality? any shorts video?
@@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.
You don’t get rattling from the subs on the plastic when you turn up the volume so high
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.
Cool idea. Curious how it sounds though in person. That’s not a lot of air space for 3 speakers to share.
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.
All those tow hooks don’t go on, it’s a weird design but we have this problem with a N52/54 aswell, what we do is shave the hook to thread it in more!
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!
So did the radio dim like you wanted it to at night time? I have a 97 LX450 im looking to buy another radio for, my last one crapped out.
@@bigben75ford yes it did, works great 👍
I have a question. Have those self tapping screws vibrated loose or are they still tight in the door
@@nexedarellano2964 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
@@nexedarellano2964 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
Great vid. Im going to work on my sons lx with him as a project and wanted to add a new sound system . These vids are very helpful
Perfect!! That’s a great father son project, happy father days btw. If you have any questions let me know, always glad to help.
Nice work! Love the attention to detail. And Love seeing more creativity on these aging 80 series!
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
Looks great! You utilized your space very well
thank you, it's still a work in progress for sure
A two car garage and no room for two cars. That tool box, WTF! What is all that stuff? You need to do some serious purging.
its a work in progress bud..
Great job!! I've always loved hidden audio. I also built a under console subwoofer{10" rockford P3 ported to the rear) for my old 96 Bronco years ago. There was only one problem. I couldn't keep loose change or anything that rattled in the custom made console. Not that big of a deal tho.
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.
LFG!
Thank you

I need help Hi I need help getting rid of static in my head unit . I have ran a ground wire from the engine area to the frame to the back of the head unit and I have connected a ground wire to every ground wire from the speakers at the head unit and the head unit itself . I don't know what else I can ground to get rid of the static . Will you help me figure out what I need to do ?
Hi I can try my best to help you, which connector harness are you using?
One of the shortest, yet most useful videos I've watched regarding engine removal and mounting. I appreciate you.
thank you for the kind comment!!
I'm updating the speakers in the car as well as a new touch stereo. The question is, do I need to by pass the amp as some indicate in forums or can I just rewire speakers and receiver?
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.

How do you get the OBD device? I am from Saudi Arabia, thank you 5:49
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.
why didnt you get the Scosche TA02BCB Stereo Wiring Harness? Wouldnt that have helped you save time soddering???
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.
put subs in it
I already did, I built a custom set up for it, working on that video right now 👍
thanks for posting this video this helped me a lot to replace my speakers that were totality dry rotted. i replaced the factory radio with a modern Atoto F7 and hoping will re-purpose the factory sub with a 8" in the future.
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
Thanks for sharing! I watched one recently where he placed the mic in the ac control area…underneath the “off” button there was a vented slot to hide it. I’m about to tackle my new stereo …I’ve never de-pined a harness. Might give it a try to have it dimmable.
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
Great video!!
Thank you so much!!
Did you end up dropping the engine through the bottom?
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.
Great video!!
thank you!!
been watching your videos i just purchased a Lexus exactly like yours, same year, but non triple locker.. did yours come with a triple locker?
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.
This applies to 2011 335i x-drive. I just needed your vid to help me just in case anyone else in the same bind. TY
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
What do you recommend for a charcoal canister since oem is no longer available?
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
The ladder going by....😩😩😩😩
Probably the best video on RUclips for this experiment 😂
Is there a nut on the other side of the 10mil holding the antenna motor assembly on?
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
What the speaker in the first shot passenger side under the airbag?
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
Right there with ya. Only the in dash pair and sub left to go.
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
Ty so much for makin this I need this video everytime I’m doin an engine rebuild
for sure!!!
I bet it sounds a lot better. If I'm not mistaken, your Lexus has a subwoofer in the center console, doesn't it?
yes it does, I don't need a ton of bass but I want a bit more, I'm still undecided on which route I'm going to take to upgrade that but for now replacing those speakers made a huge difference in the quality of sound, and the final fit and finish came out great just like OEM which is what I was going for.
Good job! A lot of people just put a shorty rubber antenna because this is a pain in the ass.
thank you, I personally like the OEM or OEM+ look for all upgrades, since I made this video I managed to tweak the gear inside the the antenna to help it grab allot better and not goes all the way up and down without any weird noises or binding, so far it works great!!
I have a 335is and similar situation somewhat the battery was taken fully out and whenever you fully take out the battery with both positive and negative terminals disconnected it does not matter if you have jumper cables to the car it will not work lmao I managed to reconnect the battery after sometime and my car started right up 😮💨😂
@@samiehayes8045 yeah sure thing I'll go ahead and send you the exact video that helped me but if you fully disconnect your BMW battery fully there is a high probability there is absolutely no chance you will put power to it unless you put that battery back together, what I did is I got in the back seat and a lower down the centerpiece cupholder in the back seat where it leads into the back, I lowered it down and there's a metal plate in the way you can pop that metal plate off and you can cut a hole in the seat and release the emergency trunk latch that's what I had to do, and I fully understand people don't want to damage the vehicle but after you cut that hole to get into your trunk you can put that panel back on an your can't tell at all that there's a hole in your seat cause the panel will cover it, it took me 15 minutes an a pair of tin snips to cut threw the back. But I promise you it is way cheaper and less time-consuming having someone break into your trunk and then you have to replace the locking mechanisms in your trunk....the 328i came out with the 335i an the 335is very similar to my car so I'm sure you can do the same. I'ma go an try an find that video for yourl real quick so you can have a better visual understanding👍
