no the sc300 has seperate sub amp and the es300 amp supplies 8 speakers with two woofers but no sub so they are nothing alike. the connectors are all different also.

Default Question

LexusAudio, I have a 1992 SC400 and the first problem that I ran into was the amplifier. It was burnt up. I got a replacement (used) and everything worked except the 12 cd-changer. Never got that beast to work. But I found that the 6 cd-changer from a pre-1997 ES300 plugged right in and works great. It is plug compatible with my SC400 Nak amp. If that is so, why doesn't the ES300 amplifier work in the SC400 like the 6 cd-changer?

I may be missing something, but if any one out there wants a replacement for their 12 cd-changer, you should really get one of the pre-1997 ES300 6 cd changers. You have to mount it in a special way, but it have been one of the best fixes that I have found for the SC400

yes i was the one who first suggested that on this forum years ago. altough i dont recommend the 92 93 es300 changers. as they had problems too. the changers on first genration are actually all compatible with each other but thats all thats compatible every model of lexus has a different radio shape and a different ampflfier and different ohm speakers. for example the sc pioneer sub is 1 ohm. thew nak is 5 ohm. the ls400 is 2 ohm. gs is 4 ohm sub. so none of the amps can be compatible when they all have different ohm speakers. even if they pluggerd in. aftermarket stuffi is all 4 ohm and high watt low efficiency. so also cant use to replace any subs either
