Hi guys,

Been at my wits ends with having no sound in this car. Basically I have no sound due to the Mark Levinson amp dying on me. Took it to a local sound guy and was told to either send the amp away and get it refurbished for $900 AUD, or use their aftermarket setup for a quote of $3,000 AUD (with labor). I couldn't believe it, I'm not paying that sum just to get sound working. I just want anything basic, cheap whatever that will allow me to 1. Have functioning sound from the factory speakers & sub 2. Allow bluetooth. That's it.

Any brands in specific? I was looking at Alpine for the amplifier, and possibly Alpine for the headunit. I'm so inept when it comes to cars, let alone car-audio. I got told I need the fascia panel if I want a head-unit?, though I have seen guys replace their CD player (not that whole section of the dash) and have it sit in there. Can someone give me a complete run-down for this basic setup? I will most likely get the local sound guys to install it and pay for the labor. I know they specialize in Alpine as well so that could be a plus

Short read - I want to keep factory speakers & sub, but I want aftermarket amplifier and headunit .

Edit - Forgot to add that I have the NAV model

Here is the basic setup you described above. Hopefully it translate to your vehicle in 'straya.

 

I don't think that's what the OP was looking for...

 

.....seems like it to me.
