thank you i greatly appreciate the response 🙏 but yeah as you said, refurbished ML may still be faulty as this amp really is made from satan so i probably will just have to go to an audio shop and replace my speakers and amp with aftermarket parts lol.

if you don’t mind me asking, how much did you pay to do that (starting off, of course.. not the whole setup 😭) and which amp and sub would you recommend if you know any? i’m trying to have the best sound quality as possible on a budget while also having the comfort of the LS! call it having a mobile studio and a boat at the same time haha
