Is it a Nakamichi amp or Pioneer amp?

Yep, I asked the dealer to make the repairs, hoping to avoid the cost. As of this afternoon, the car is at a mobile electronics shop getting looked at. If it's an expensive repair the dealer will probably balk. Then I'll have to decide if I want to take a chance on a great car with a sick sound system. I'd like to keep the NAK in place.. It's just that as I understand it the equipment is harder to come by these days. I'd hate to say track down another amp and habe it fry itself as well.. Does anyone now what the success rate is for recusitating these systems?

I'm not neccesarily worried about the cost of swapping out components, but the scarcity of the Nak amps as well as folks saying that after they swapped out the amps, they had toher issues.. I there are folks who have successfully brought their NAK systems back to life, I'd love advice about the feasability of doing so. Thanks for the input so far. Oh, and yes, after driving it, I do realize it is quite a machine. I am considering this car after driving a BMW 330xi with a stiff seat and a stiff ride that is really fun through the turns, but killing my back on my 70 mile highway daily commute. But I gotta have good tunes! My BMW has the Harman Kardon system and it sounds great!

Hi there.. Considering a possible 1995 SC400 purchase from a local dealer. The car has only 78,000 miles.. It is in great shape except for the Nakamichi stereo. The back speakers are muffled/muted. I have read the threads about water intrusion and it sounds like this may be the case. I have to see if I can lift the back seat cushion or check in the area around the gas cap. Would this be a deal killer? I have read that finding a new amp if required can be a challenge. The car runs great, but not having half a stereo system would be a drag. Thanks
