Default Mark Levinson Sound System

How do I tell if I have the Mark Levenson Sound System? I know it may sound like a stupid question but it does not note it on the system but I have 15 speakers in the car and that is not standard. I appreciate it gang.

Your radio would say Mark Levinson on it.

Non-ML cars have 13 speakers, ML cars have 14 speakers.

Non-ML cars have 3 speakers in each rear door and just a sub on the parcel tray with no front center channel.
ML cars cars have 2 speakers in each rear door and 2 speakers plus a sub on the parcel tray and adds a front center channel.

All cars have a grille in the center, only ML cars actually have a speaker mounted below it.

If your radio does not say Mark Levinson on it, you don't have it.

No the speakers are not the same, and neither are many other parts in the car (including the wiring).
