Lexicon Amplifiers

[Melman]

How do I determine which Lexicon amp I have (96370-B1050 or 96370-B1100 without tearing into my trunk lining? Is the Lexicon amp separate from the XM radio? I have hardly any am/fm reception but great XM reception and sound.

There are 14 speakers. The problem is that reception is very poor unless I am very close to the broadcast antenna. Mostly just noise when trying to locate an FM station.

Yours will likely be the 1050 model amp. The amp has nothing to do regarding reception, though, that's run to a small module in the ceiling from the rear glass, then to the head unit in the dash. Your most likely culprit is the FM antenna trace is broken either in the glass, or at the edge where it connects to the receiver module. You've got an AM loop and an FM open antenna in the top part of the rear glass.

Also, applying or removing window tint can easily damage them.

Thanks for this info. It sounds like a difficult and tedious fix. Think I will try fit an aftermarket window glass antenna and lead (with adapter to the radio if need). I think I can reasonably make the antenna not easy to see. Crutchfield seems to have what might work for this fix.
