*NOTE - For Nakamichi, intermittent speaker output, lose of volume to some speakers? Our local dealership says there is an equalization unit located behind the glove box in need of repair, we have never seen or found one! What are they talking about? We have seen this to be a stereo or amplifier problem in most cases. However, the stereo and amplifier communicate with each other. Try disconnecting the car battery for several minutes then reconnect, this may reset the system.

Before Thinking of Replacing Amplifier

Is it a speaker or Nakamichi amplifier problem? Speaker problems are common in the Nakamichi system. If your car's tweeter works and the door speaker does not, the door speaker is bad. It is always best to check speakers before removing the amplifier for repair. Try a working speaker in a non-working position for testing purposes.
Many of our door panel removal instructions for Lexus speakers also include help with aftermarket speaker installation.
Our repair rate for these amplifiers is $250-350. With the amplifier removed, you will have no audio. We suggest sending the stereo with the amplifier. There are occasions where the stereo can be the problem. Six month warranty on repair.

See our link to "Car Stereo Removal".
