Hello everyone,
I've done countless amounts of Google searches and still can't seem to find a clear answer. Does anyone happen to know the specifications of the 2006 GS Mark Levinson System? (Like watts per channel, subwoofer watt) etc. I'm especially curious on the subwoofer RMS watts! All I know so far is that it is a 330 watt 14 speaker system according to this site: http://powerelectronics.com/automoti...-2006-lexus-gs

Any help is greatly appreciated!

center speaker front -> 8 ohm 25 watt
Front tweeter -> 8 ohm 20 watt
Front mid -> 8 ohm 25watt
front woofer -> 8 ohm 25watt
Rear tweeter -> 8 ohm 20 watt
Rear mid -> 8 ohm 25watt
Sattelite -> 8 ohm 25 watt
--------------------------------------------------
from all of these you have 2 (left and right side) 165 per side totaling 330 watt's
--------------------------------------------------
Subwoofer 1 in the center of the rear 8 ohm 40 watt

so in total it's 370 watt of speaker power :-)

in the 2010 model the specs where different

center speaker front -> 6 ohm 15 watt
Front tweeter -> 6 ohm 20 watt
Front mid -> 6 ohm 15 watt
front woofer -> 6 ohm 25watt
Rear tweeter -> 6 ohm 20 watt
Rear mid -> 6 ohm 30 watt
Sattelite -> 6 ohm 15 watt
--------------------------------------------------
from all of these you have 2 (left and right side) 140 per side totaling 280 watt's
--------------------------------------------------
Subwoofer 1 in the center of the rear 6 ohm 50 watt totaling 330 watts

Thanks for the help! It surprises me that the subwoofer is only 40-50 watts wow!

I'm not surprised at all ... all those watts bull**** on many modern speakers are peak volumes. There is a lot of blablabla but pure electrics and common sense is far to be found all those guys with 1000 watt bullsh... bon't believe it :-) because it is very hard to get those watts. A car has a 12 volt battery ... if you want to put lets say 1200 watts of power on a speaker or amp you will need 100 amperes of current (Law of Ohm) ... that would mean you would have cables like a welding machine connected to your amplifier. A Alternator who is charging your battery will never give that amount of current in a car so if you would have a continue 1200 watts output your battery would drain even while driving

For me it's quit easy if you really want to know what peak output your radio has ... check the fuse and do it X12 (from the volts) so if you have a 15 ampere fuse you will have a combined peak level of 180 watts many people don't understand what 40 whats of real power is. Take a halogen bulb of 40 watts look at it and grab it with your hand ... imagine now with burned fingers and black spots what that amount of power would do if you really put it in audio . There is a huge gap between real nominal power and peak power ... even with 300 watts of peak in a car it is MORE then enough to suffer pain and damage
