Default Amplifier part number

I have a 14 GS 350. My intermittently goes out. Dealer blaming it on aftermarket system saying it burning it out which i believe is BS an'd won't replace under warranty. Im trying to find a part number for the amp. All the ones i look at on Ebay don't seem to look like mines. Mines only have one plug verses the ones I've seen had 2.

That looks filthy! Why is that? Has the amplifier been exposed to any water?

I really can't blame Lexus for not wanting to replace it under warranty when there is aftermarket equipment hooked up to the system...

Yeah I think its water damage but the dealer said it didn't seem like it and they didn't see anything wrong with it. It was working while the shop had it and they just said its probably the aftermarket system overheating and burning out the factory amp. I probably should have took the system out. I'm still thinking about taking it out and trying again but that might not get me no where. I figure I will just get a new/used one till I trade the car in.

Take it out and go to another dealership.
