Default Need amp info for 2000

I have done several google searches, sent emails to Pioneer, and gone through manual after manual to find information on the amplifier and have had no luck. I've looked here at several threads to no avail. The biggest pieces of information I need is the max and RMS output of the amp, but the more information I have, the merrier.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to help you, and I'm sure the Lexus website will just refer you to "your service advisor." Consider talking to someone at Crutchfield -- they know so much and they may well have the info you need.

When I sent the email to Pioneer, they told me to talk to Lexus...I talked to Lexus, they told me to talk to Pioneer. I'll call Crutchfield tomorrow and see if they can help, never thought of asking them. Thanks!

I believe the serial number is Pioneer #86100-48020.

See if Pioneer can provide you with more information if you give them the above number.

Since Pioneer and Nakamichi have made these units for "A" customer, they would most likely say to contact Lexus. They are under contract. You will need a written release from Lexus and then forward it to Pioneer, who then would be in a position to help you (if they choose or have the info available after so many years).

Is there a particular info that you are looking for? Watts, RMS and Peak Power are mostly for bragging.

Somewhere in 2000 the claim was that the unit produces some additional watts over the 1999 model.

I'm thinking of going with Rockford Fosgate Punch series 6.5" components in the front and the 5.25" in the rear. If the factory amp has enough juice for these four drivers and the tweeters, that's all I really want to know.

Watch out for:
Physical fit
Linearity (good reproduction of sound)
AND
Efficiency (sound reproduction from least amount of electrical signal).

As far as the Amp, it should have no problems handling 4 Ohm speaker.
