GUIDE: Sub Removal

A bit of a weakpoint in the LS430 sound system is the 8 inch sub at the back, a bit of googling will reveal that people often try to stick these back together with various methods which are generally silicone based. Alternatively you can remove/replace/repair professionally the foam that deteriorates. If you do decide to take the sub out then this will show you how<br /><br />I found a fair bit of misinformation about how to do this so this is what I did

Thanks for this - a great guide which just helped me change my subwoofer (alas a tale of woe in itself for another time).

Just one observation - I found there is no need to remove either of the seat backs completely or disconnect their wiring or the seatbelts. Just remove the bolts and they can be folded forwards out of the way (move the front seats forward to make room). You then have to work from the doorways but it was straightforward to get the parcel shelf out and unbolt the subwoofer.

I've read a load comments on the net about this being a swine of a job but it really isn't. Once you've done it once it's a 15 minute job tops each way.

Well done that's a first class tutorial.  It's also great info for anyone replacing rear shocks as the seat has to come out.  Excellent stuff!
