Mark Levinson Audio Package
I was just wondering if someone could tell me the difference in the ML audio system as compared to the system that has 13 speakers with the 6 cd in dash changer. I know ML has 14 speakers, but how big a difference is the ML's 14 speakers vs. the 13 speakers system?

There is a difference between the two systems in their overall character in sound. The ML system has more goodies to it and it sounds fairly good.
I'd listen to both systems first if possible. The ML system seems to have more problems (blown speakers, blown subs, overheating amps, decoding issues, etc) than the stock system.
Have you listened to both systems yet?

The other day I put in my Mission Impossible DVD and went to my favourite scene, the Audi and Porsche race, and cranked it. I've never heard a system sound so great, the bass was incredible!

Was the glue for the cone or for the coil former? Focal had the same problem with their titanium tweeters...molasses held the structure better than the glue they had used.

Easy fix! Glad it wasn't for the coil/former...that would have been a massive pain. Surprised ML didn't use the good stuff from the beginning though. ML has been available for the last 5 years now for Lexus.
