Bypass cable and now lacking bass.
Bypass cable and now lacking bass.
I've never actually done this in a Lexus so that's about the most help I can be I think!
I wonder if the 8 speaker system is presenting the wrong resistance to the stereo. That's a lot of load to put on a head unit that's only designed to run 4 speakers, but I don't know how the bypass cable works with regard to summing the loads from the speakers. I'd expect each speaker to be 4ohm and depending how the bypass cable is wired it might be connecting 4 rear cones to 2 speaker outputs, which would make them 8ohm.
I've never actually done this in a Lexus so that's about the most help I can be I think!
I can confirm that all the speakers are working, including the tweeters.
Maybe the stock unit sounds better or maybe after 10 years I've forgotten what to expect.
Either way, I think I need to add a small sub/bass box. Nothing major, just a bit of punch.
Thanks for all your help toxo
Cheers,
John

Oh, I see. Can I use a voltmeter to check?
