Question
QUESTION: Can you please tell me what ohm this Mark Levinson subwoofer is in my 2002 Lexus ES300? I am seeing different posts stating 2 ohm, 12 ohm...  I want to replace it with another sub. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jim Angell

ANSWER: It depends on the amplifier,  but i only replace them with
1.5 and 2.0 ohms , they are almost the same not a big diference

QUESTION: Thanks for your quick response, but I am still confused, since Lexus is telling me its a 12ohm sub. I have the Mark Levinson with Nav system in my 2002 ES300. So would a 2ohm work as well as a 12ohm?  Or would I take a chance on ruining my amp if I use the wrong ohm?

Answer
loos like the guy from lexus  didn't finish high school or don't know how to read the book

the service manual shows to replace the woofer with one  with the corrects ohms   (  1 - 2 )   that is not 12 ???????

any woofer from 1 ohm to 2 ohms will work just fine
