Replace the subwoofer behind the backseat or inside the trunk in a 2001 Lexus LS 430. Purchasing where? How to do it?
Thank you,

    I just bought an 01 ls 430 with the ML sound system. The subwoofer in the read deck over the trunk has a crackling sound, increases with bass notes. I've heard of a fix with a hot glue gun but I think that applies to inner cone damage, but my cone looks good so not sure what to do or how to fix.

The outer cone is where the problem is, right where the fiber/foam of the cone material attaches to the outside metal frame. if you look closely, you will find the speaker is torn along this line, at least at some point(s). I used ge silicone 2 clear, make a bead all the way around, took about ten minutes, could not be better. Great fix. Also check lexus owners club for more detail.

How do you replace the compressor and condensor on a 2001 lexus ls 430

Acquire the new parts and take them to a shop which specializes in heating and cooling. Pay them to install and charge the system.
I would stay away from a dealer on this.

How do I replace the truck lifts/supports on my 2001 LS430? They have never worked properly. (Trunk is very hard to lift and collapses if not held up-very dangerous) Also, does anyone know the exact part...

The trunk lid unless damaged should be effortless to open.... unless you have a defective power closing device or a bent piston. Inspect for this before ordering parts from a Lexus dealer.
The 430 is an exceptionally well made car and this problem sounds very out of character unless there has been some unknown damage.
If on the other hand there was a bad component , LEXUS WOULD NORMALLY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL.
