I was hoping to purchase the stock sub woofer for my LX but need help. Does anyone know what all I would need to get the stock sub woofer to work with my Valor double din cd\dvd player? Do i need some seperate power source that the LX does not come equiped with? Or will it work just hooking it directly to the radios sub connectors? Any help would be great.

I have a DX and as long as your cd player has sub outputs(RCA) then you can run that to a power amp and then the amp to the factory sub. I put my amp under the passenger seat, and ran that to the EX OEM sub. Your head unit will not power the sub enough. 200 watts should be sufficient, just make sure that you hook the proper wires from the power amp out to the OEM in's. It is a bi-channel sub, so you will need to hook up all 4 cables out of the sub for it to function properly.

Did you get the Sub yet?

I was looking at this mod and instead decided to go with a Kenwood KSC-SW1 that'll fit just fine bolted to the front of the (useless) trash bin. As an added benefit, it's powered so no need for a separate amp :D

Anyone try to construct a sub box to fit that space? I'm gonna make some measurements in a few minutes.

I think the easiest way to make a new sub box for that area would be to build out a LX storage box that goes where the EX sub is. Drew:)
