Topic: NEED 1994 LEXUS HELP...
My Neighbor has a 94 Lexus that had water leaking into his trunk. He has a stock CD changer that is mounted on top of what seems to be a factory Amp. The Amp was under water so he wants to know if there is somehow to bypass this amp and install an aftermarket amp or where he could buy a replacement for less the the $420 lexus wants. Has to involve a few new din plugs so I need all the info I can get. --------------------

To keep it simple and cheap, it's easier to replace the amp. I think the stock speakers are 1 ohm, so they would need to be swapped. Plus a deck and kit and running lines.... I think all this would exceed $400. Check the junkyards yet? -------------------- Sick Bastard Audiowww.bordermotorsports.com

the factory amps already suck especially if it is nakamichi. I took mine out along with everything else. It acted kinda funny but i think it was the deck. hobojetski@hotmail.com mine is out of a 93 sc400, its a nakamichi, i also have the changer. but i really dont need them -------------------- CHAD TYLER Lieutenant Colonel BASS 4star http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2332048 bass is a fish, midrange is a feeling

Had one secured from a 94 but when he went to pick it up its from an "ES400" and his is the GS400, plugs wer totally different. Its a Pioneer BTW. --------------------
