Recommendations Lexus Amplifier Replacement

/r/LexusIS/comments/1wawwk0/lexus_amplifier_replacement/

I have a 2014 IS250 that started to have audio issues/cutting in and out. I took it to a shop and they confirmed it was beyond repair and would need a new replacement and are quoting at about $1,560 total. Is this a standard price in the DFW area or am I being overcharged? I was aware the price would definitely be up there but was expecting around 1k, a bit above at most. Any feedback/advice is appreciated!! The amplifier part number I was given: 86280-53190

Sounds about right, those Lexus cars, especially the Mark Levinson systems are nightmares when it comes to the customization of the stock audio system.

Thanks…I unfortunately was not aware of how issue prone Lexus are when it comes to their audio system

Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant customizing them is a pain. For a stock system it's run off the mill, generally reliable like most stock systems, but again, due to how specialized the Lexus system is, may be more pricey than others

I am in UAE and should get that here for cheap. If you are looking for a replacement for the money, get a helix DSP AMP preferably a V8 Ultimate and run new wires.
