Mark Levison?
Hello All,
I have an IS350 w/ Sport Package + NAV.
My questions are:
1.) Are the speakers on the non mark levinson audio system the same speakers as the ones on the mark levinson audion system?
2.) Is it possible to purchase a mark levinson audio system oem and have it installed?
3.) Is the only difference in the mark levinson audio system the reciever that can play dvds and the amplifier?
4.) Can I also purchase the center console speaker that missing in the regular audio system?
Thanks

Mark Levinson Spkrs have a different impedance
(8 Ohms)to match the Mark Levinson higher output amplifiers. You get a 7.1 layout in the Mark Levinson vs. a 4.1 in the Pioneer stock. You get a 5.1 DTS Surround Sound with Dolby in the Mark Levinson system. The head unit in either case is made by Pioneer but the amps and spkrs are ML. The speaker layouts are different not only in the center dash channel but also in the rear doors and the rear parcel shelf. There is a long thread about modding and revamping the stock unit with Dyn Audio speakers. It would be costly to retro the Mark Levinson but possible if someone was determined I guess it could be done. For that much money you might be able to build a custom system that would rival or beat it.

i think the stock system is about average for it being a 43k+ car..
Plus as much as i'd want an aftermarket system, id never let the
installers tear my interior apart, i dont need any rattles, thank you
