demonstr8 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 My girlfriend has a 2006 Mercedes C230. A while back she went through a car wash and the sound system stopped working. After some testing, we found out that it is a fiber optic system and everything still functions correctly some water somehow got inside and shorted out the factory amp in the back. Anybody have any idea where i can get a used one? I have been calling around to local junkyards but havent had any luck. She is not interested in installing a new system, but we might not have any other choice.

Ray Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Are u sure the amp is bad? Have you unplugged the M.O.S.T ring and see if you have light on 1 side?

I didnt get that involved with the testing, i dont know CRAP about fiber optic systems. But, i was reassured that it as definately the amp.

Ray Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 By the dealer im guessing, since they are the only ones with star diag to actually "see" the amp is bad. Anyway.. Gonna be hard to just find a replacment. Is it logic 7? You can do a new deck and a ms8 for less than the factory amp cost. Plus steering wheel control if you have them, gonna be in the 1100.00 range Quote 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonstr8 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Would be nice. Is that for a hk logic7 amp? not exactly sure, they are all top secret classified over the phone. I didnt have the VIN on me the first time i called, so i had to get that for them. Then they wouldnt give me the part #, they said they will call me back.

Thanks man...everyone i have been talking to has been saying that the dealer is gonna charge me atleast $1,000. That is ridiculous for a crappy sounding factory stereo! It wasnt even loud and when the volume was turned up, the high's would distort and it just sounded like garbage! I told my girl that if this $300 replacement dont work, we are just gonna put in a good sounding system. Why not for $1,000...you know?
