Yes, your amp probably needs replacing. One of those dreaded issues that comes with no warnings.

There's a thread that contains the name of a company that does repairs at a reasonable rate. Good luck.

Who quoted you $725? Is that repair and labor to remove and reinstall?

Yes, more than likely bad amp. This question along with many others can be found in the FAQ/DIY sticky thread located at the top of our 460/600 forum.

Here is the link to the FAQ main list of topics
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...iy-thread.html

Here are the existing amp threads in the FAQ. Please continue the discussion in one of those, thank you
