Audio Problems - 2001 Sc430

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

I just bought a used SC430 (2001). It drives like a dream.

However, the audio quality is quite bad.

I really had to push my dealer to replace the audio unit under warranty, but I'm wondering if anyone else experienced the following issues:

FM Radio: audio quality & reception of radio is very bad (sounds like 4KHz instead of 20KHz sample rate)

Left speakers: poor sound quality (not as crisp and clear most of the time, but sometimes it seems to work fine on the left).

When changing balance to Rear 7, Left 7, sound still comes out of the right-side speakers. Amplifier broken? Speakers broken? Wiring bad? Audio system buggy?

Thanks,

Nate

Sounds like a bad amp.. Some of the early SC430's had this same issue.

FYI: There was no MY2001 SC430, they were released in 2001 as 2002's
