Default 98 es300 nakamichi amplifier

I have an issue with my sound system. It is a 98 es300 nakamichi system. Everything works perfect for about 30 minutes but then all of a sudden the right side speakers drop. When I turn the balance to the right I hear very little sound coming from the right sight speakers but keep in mind the left side is fine. Now here's the weird part, If I turn up the volume, the right side kicks back in and works fine for about 5 minutes and then does the same thing. Any ideas? My guess is that it's the amplifier and I can't seem to find one anywhere since its the nakamichi and not the pioneer.

It's Lexus part number 86100-33040

If anyone has one, please let me know.

loose connection(s) ?

Check over everything before ordering a new amp... It would suck if you were to spend ~90$ last time a member said he paid that much for one, only to NOT have the problem go away.

If it was a loose connection,I can't explain why turning the volume up brings the sound back and it seems to be right around 30 minutes each time. Also, when the sound drops it's not gone completely, I can still here a little bit of sound and its only the right speakers. By any chance, do you know if that member ever fixed it and what the problem was?

He did not have this problem, that you are having. He simply added an aftermarket sub with different OHM ratings than OEM and blew it [the amp].

In order to ask where he bought the amp; Message angmedic91
