6lexis350

I have a 06 lexus is350 with the mark levinson set up. If i put the volume past 34 the volume shuts off, turns on again. It does this repeatedly. If i set the speakers up to where it only comes out through the back, then it works good and i can turn it up to max without it shutting off. Does anybody know what it can be?

I heard that though the ML sounds good, it's unreliable and just breaks after a while.

either the ML amp is overheating and shutting down before any physical damage can be done to the amp, or there's a short in the amp itself.

i also heard that the crescent of the moon is based on the alignment of the earth and the sun, but the moon itself is made of crusty gray cheese.

fact is, there hasn't been widespread ML amps failing and needing replacement. but if you're the type that requires volume to always be past 40, something's bound to break sooner or later...

x2 on the amp probably being the issue. If all your speakers cut off past that volume, i'm almost certain its the amp.

it happen to me once, right after I got my rear view mirror under TSB, and test to see how the new rear view mirror can handle the shake, I turned the volume up to 35 and all sound cut off, even I turn off the radio and back on still no sound, wait for 10 mins turn back on still no sound it freak me out, and I got home and the next day I turn the car on and the radio it work like normal again, after that I never turn the volume more than 30

Were you able to find a solution to this? I am having the same problem

Yep, sounds like the amp going into safe mode, usually from overheating. Time for a new amp!

Dang! Just looked on Sewell. The replacement ML amp is $1810 after CL discount!! OUCH!

6+ years and ML amp and speakers just doin' fine, but I don't crank it up, that's what my home system is for.
