Default 03 GS, ML amp maybe bad???

So it has been over a few months now.

But first I will say what my set up is;

A ton of dynomat
Pioneer amp
Sundown audio sa-8 sub in ported box
LOC from left speaker pre amp to Pioneer amp for aftermarket sub, stock subwoofer has been removed.

I have the Pioneer amp fed pre-amp from left front speaker (was told this is best by a very well know audio installer who has worked on many lexus models). I have an LOC hooked to that....then to the amp.


So a few months ago, I turned on the car, turned the cd player on and all I hear was flubbing noises....like wub wub wubf fluuub.....

Turned it off, turned it back on, same noise. Switched from radio to cd and it started working again.

Few days later it completely shut off, no sound no nothing.....fuses look ok (hood/driver side). And I have power going to the sub as well.....



Anything you can think of before I buy another ML amp?



thanks!

Try disconnecting your battery for 15 mins. Mine did that 1 time and i just reset the computer and it came back on. Or maybe you have a blown speaker. When my stock sub was blown it would keep cutting out, i switched the sub out and it works great. 3 months going strong!

Tried this, was hoping it would work.

It did not.


Going to take it to a car audio shop, at the very least see what a new system will cost.

Nav lady speaks to me so I at least know the left speaker works?
