I am having this exact same issue in my 06' is350 w/ ML sound. unfortunetly, my car is out of factory warranty. When speaking to my service advisor this mornign, she informs me to replace the AMP, I could possibly be looking at approx $990 for parts alone. Needles to say, I am a little concerned. Has anyone else seen real world alternetives, or trouble shooting advice?

if thats the case you know you can get a better aftermarket amp for half the cost...

$900 for an amp? Thats ridiculous. I got my aftermarket amp to power my sub for $250.

Thank you for the advice. Being the Mark Levinson souns system, I didnt know if an aftermarket amp would work, or what settings it would need to have. I actually work for a large electronics distributor, that offers alot of 12v audio amplifiers, but didnt know if someone knew exactly what specs i would need to look for. thanks for the info, as I am also trying to research as much as I can online. However, my searches as of right now are fruitless.

Yeah, a $250 off the shelf amp isn't going to plug in and correctly power the 14 8-ohm speakers of the ML system though (nor integrate properly with the head unit for 7.1 DVD playback and all the other controls)

I dont expect it to, I was just throwing around a number. But how much is the stock amp? For non ML? Just curious

Just got off the phone with the dealer and confirmed that the part and labor will be covered under warranty so Im a happy camper
