Default Lexus amplifier replacement

So my ls460 ML amp went bust like everyone else. The car is out of warranty and being a $2500 part, I am wondering if anyone replaced with after aftermarket. I afraid that sending it out to fix $700 the part will fail again. Just a matter of time since the design is flawed.

I dont beleive I have seen anyone complain that their repaired amp went bad again.. for $700 or less..I figure it will get me at least another 5+ years

I believe the $700 is directly thru United Radio in NJ. Most have removed themselves and sent directly
