You could replace the stock unit, buy a climate control out of a GS without nav, and use the Metra GS dash kit. Probably the easiest and most cost effective route to go.

You most likely could recoup a good deal of the cost of the system by selling the remaining working factory equipment. Just a thought.

Let me know what you come up with. I am getting the vibe my stock ML amp is dying. My rear door speakers are producing exactly 0 bass right now. Working on replacing a blown sub too. Check my post at the top of the forum now.

when it is all buttoned up I will post up *some* of the info to get people started. It has not been an easy road (well the build as a whole - but the final product is a different story and will be amazing).

dude - you're excited so that means that some good stuff is happening. I'm prepping to get some work done myself but I'll hold off until you get yours done and can let us know how it goes. Post up as soon as you can!

Default 2004 gs 430 mark levinson amp

My Amp just went out on my GS 430 also and there's a local guy who supposedly could repair them but he had my car for three days and gave up and told me to pick up the car so I'm back where I started...

Here's some pics! Hope you like them.

BIG THANKS TO VIMEAN @ AUTOGRAPHCAR.COM for coming up with such an awesome design for my trunk and a sick way to integrate all the components that I wanted in there. Theres about 5 more pieces that need to be fabricated, but I know people have been waiting for these pics! This is only a progress pic so check back next week for the finished product and a list of components used.






Check out our blog libertyvip.net for some additional commentary!
