2klx470 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Guys, Has anyone here ever tried to repair (crackling sound) the subwoofer on their GX470? Can the cover grill be removed and the cone repaired with a glue gun? I read this somewhere on the LS forum, but I want to know if this works on the ML subwoofer on a GX470.

Rj You can try the repair, No guarantees on the sound though. I can get you a OEM replacement if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just called my local Lexus dealer and the Salesperson advised me that repair or replacement of a crackling subwoofer is covered under the CPO. That is great news for me. I just bought my CPO GX470 less than a month ago. Now I am wondering if the DVD Navigation is covered under the CPO if something goes wrong with it. Does anyone here know?
