Sound System SL500
The amplifier on my 1992 SL500 has gone out. My local dealer has informed me that the part is no longer available from Mercedes.

Can anyone tell me where I may find an amplifier or what the manufacturer of the original amplifier was. The best guess I have been given is Alpine.
My thought is that I can at least contact them and see what they recommend as a replacement.

Many thanks in advance,

Jim B

I was talking to a "competition" sound guy last week and he told me they are Alpines. I have no idea if he is correct.

Thanks for the Alpine tip. I will find a local installer and have them take a look.
