Default 1995 Sc 400

Hello- I am new to the forum. I have a 1995 SC 400, gold with 148k miles on it. Dad finally sold it to me. Any suggestions on how to fix the audio system in it? I was told it was the amp and the cd player, the amp is nakamichi and the 12 disc player is pioneer. i also need new speakers. the dealerships have quoted outrageous prices, i don't want after-market because i want to keep everything looking the way it did brand new.
Also my front seats are cracking. Any suggestions on where to go for new or re-condition seats. Other than that, this baby is in excellent condition, glossy and ready for the summer!

Common problems. Too bad you didn't post earlier. I threw out my stock amp a few days ago. I recommend going to the Buy/Sell section of this forum and see if anyone has a used one for sale.

The seats leather cracking problem is something a lot of us here at CLC want to address. So we're in the same boat. There are a lot of places that do lether repair or custom seat covers. I think it would be better to just go and get nice new custom seat covers.

Welcome to the forums BTW.

When I say seat covers that means the leather around the seats. Leatherseats.com sells them for the SC. But I want to find a local source that would also be able to wrap a gauge pod.

Welcome to the family.

For the seats, if they are cracking already, you can't stop it, so your best bet would be new covers.

For the stereo issues, you minght want to try the classifieds as DIrEctQL sugessted or ebay. There's tons of stereo parts on there.
