In this LS400 video, I will be installing an 8" pioneer sub in place of the factory subwoofer. I found a Pioneer TSA2000LD2 8" Free-air subwoofer. I paired it with a Kicker 43DXA1252 amplifier, rated at 250 watts RMS. Both the sub and amp are rated at about 250 watts RMS, and it is a free-air application.
This replacement was simply meant to get a working subwoofer in the place of the Stock one, that would ideally outperform the original equipment. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Thanks for tuning into part 1!

Watching for real this time. Dude crammed so much info in the first 3 minutes. That's amazing.

@ClaytonBridges Год назад

Hopefully it was useful!

@oudomkosaketh40 Год назад

@ClaytonBridges oh. I didn't expect a reply. Since your here, I have an ls400 as well and plan on replacing the radio, Amp and sub as the aftermarket radio I got with the car doesn't allow the stock sub yo be used. So I'm gonna buy new everything. Hopefully it goes as smooth as yours did.

Thank you!

Nice! Just found your channel when looking for a guide to remove my radio from my '95 LS400. I was thinking of doing new speakers and putting a sub in the stock location too!

@ClaytonBridges 3 года назад

Nice! Hopefully ill be finishing up these videos soon. I'm pretty happy with it so far, but I wont lie, Its taking alot of tweaking to get where I want it. Also the 8" subs that are free air subwoofers probably won't ever be as loud as a sub in a ported box. Esp since you can easily have like, a 12" subwoofer in the trunk

@papalacqua1651 3 года назад

Yo love the videos you should do a video on replacing your antenna, mines broken as well and I can’t seem to find any videos on them

@ClaytonBridges 3 года назад

Id like to do a video on that, but to be honest I would end up completely deleting mine probably. I'm not sure. I could still make a video

@Mich-jk2ze 2 года назад

How much better did this actually boost your bass though, like compared. I have a 98 ls400 and I feel the sub doesn’t have much punch.

@jennieleighloomis7870 10 месяцев назад

I don't have a Ls, but am looking for vid's on the pioneer 8" free air. I own a ford c-max with a kick-ass sound system. Just want my bass a little more isolated, so I can enjoy full sound.

@ClaytonBridges 9 месяцев назад

It's still going and bumping pretty hard! I think it sounds pretty good and is about all the bass I really need, sounds like it would work for you too! It does need an aftermarket amp, and idk what the cmax has for mounting it

@boazsnider9981 Год назад

The housing over the subwoofer shakes with high vibration. Did it do that for you

@ClaytonBridges Год назад

Yes it did.. I ended up having to completely get rid of it ans just run it open.. its uglier but kind of shows off the speaker and ofc no 3rd brake light. But, you could possibly make it work with foam or double sided tape, I didnt have the patience

@robertgardner4508 Год назад

I plan to one day get a DSP, and a good aftermarket amp because I want to run the stock radio on my car, and keep the stock pioneer system which still sounds great! But my cars sub sounds like the voice coil could by dying because there is very little bass coming from the sub, and my radio refuses to play cassettes, and the CD function, only plays sound from the left speakers on max voluime and it's very faint. So I think before seeing if my sub is dying, or if my amp is just old and bad. My radio needs to be repaired first and I will run a cassette aux coverter to a bluetooth receiver (as I like my stock radio and I don't want a AEM headunit because I want the car to remain as stock as possible, with a stock feel.) But my FM radio is loud and clear. So who knows it'll be an adventure to seek out on my 93 LS. I ahve a single 12 in my focus and I hate it xD It's too much bass, and yeah its cool lol but it overpowers the audio and there's not good balance of bass, and treble/vocals.

@ClaytonBridges Год назад

yeah thats a huge reason I went with this sub, its powerful, but doesnt really overwhelm the rest of the system. I like Bass, but I need to hear the rest of the song lol Sounds like you have your work cut out for you! its good to have a project to keep you busy sometimes

@phillipdeeznuts3903 Год назад

So i'm no expert on electronics, i actually know almost nothing, but say i wanted to replace the sub on my LS400. (I have the stereo setup with the nakamichi stereo and cd player, the nice one) would it be possible to replace the sub and the sub only? I like how everything else works and i wouldnt want to buy a new amp and sub and wire all that up to only get a slightly better sound, could i just get a sub with the same or slightly better specs and essentially plug and play it? Big fan of the channel, you've helped me with my LS a lot!

@ClaytonBridges Год назад

Well, the nakamichi stereo is a bit different. I think the wiring harness it uses is different altogether and I think it all interplays a bit differently. Im not 100% sure on that system, but if you were to replace a bad sub with a working one, like a junkyard replacement it would should be fine. But if you wanted an aftermarket subwoofer, I think the big problem is how the subwoofer plugs into the system, so you would probably need to hard wire yourself, which probably wouldnt be a big deal. Plus if the sub is rated for a different RMS it could damage it if its putting too much or too little power. Frankly I think an aftermarket subwoofer and amp would be easier than trying to make something work with the nakimichi. Again, you could probably just replace it if yours isnt working if you happened to find one at a JY or used for cheap

@@ClaytonBridges Ah i see, yeah you're right, thank you so much!

@TheCinderDude Год назад

howw did you cut the sub bracket? dremel?

@ClaytonBridges Год назад

I used a dremel for the plastic. In my newer fender videos I show that I eventually made a sub bracket out of MDF wood. I think this is a way better solution. This is the material most people make alot of subwoofer stuff out of.

@TheCinderDude Год назад

@@ClaytonBridges figured, I’ve actually been following your journey for a while but I’m finally properly upgrading because previously I just drilled holes directly in the sheet metal LMAO. Thank u!

@rawbagel4881 Год назад

Should work for an ls430 aswell yeah?

@ClaytonBridges Год назад

well I really have no idea. The LS430 is a completely different car, so Im going to assume no. If the LS430 has a 8" area to mount a subwoofer and you can figure out a mounting situation, that can work if you have an aftermarket radio Most of this can be done on anything, but the specific mounting points, and the harness for the radio wont be the same. Like theres no reason you couldnt use this subwoofer and amplifier, IF the LS430 has an 8" sub area

@ClaytonBridges Год назад

Id say if it just has a 8" place to mount a sub you can do this set up. You could even make a mount for it and trunk mount it 🤷‍♂️

@jeremryalmquist7890 2 года назад

Did you use a wiring harness adapter for the radio?

@ClaytonBridges 2 года назад

I used one of the sort yes. Theres a special one that includes the factory sub amp, but its very expensive. It also depends on if you had the pioneer or nakimichi system as well. I have a video where I installed the radio, I used the typical radio install style that you can buy anywhere just about

@jeremryalmquist7890 2 года назад

@@ClaytonBridges yeah it’s very hard too find motivation these days lol. Hope your having fun in school as work!!! I think it might be bad capacitors In the amp. I get 12v to it from receiver just no sound. So I want to try and putting a aftermarket amp in.

@MrFuchew Год назад

Just put one in my ls430 sounds like shit

@ClaytonBridges Год назад

Sorry to hear it didnt work out for you what dont you like about it? does it rattle? not powerful enough? your only ohter options are creating a custom mount in that area or just doing a sub in the trunk. Im sure a full sub in the trunk would sound better
