Hello everyone, today i was listening to music in my 2006 IS350 with Mark Levinson pretty loudly for about 10 or 15 min when it started to cut in and out with a sharp chipping sound. Now it sound find in low volume but when i turn it up it keeps cutting in and out.
Anyone knows what the problem is?

maybe blown out speaker...take it to the dealer, if you have warranty on it..

Sounds more like a problem with the factory amplifier than a/the speaker(s).

Hopefully its still under your warranty so you don't have to worry about it tho!

Are you listening to the system with your ipod? If you have the ipod link the wires might be touching. That happened to my system and it took forever to figure out what was happening. Might have to reposition / reinstall the wires to the system again if you don't want it to cut out. Also another reason might be 'cause the ipod file just sucks.
