the speakers don't work. there was just a massive thread about exactly this.

from the factory, the amp is connected like any other 86, and then the dealers are given specific instructions to install the jumper, and pull the amp fuse, among other things as part of the standard dealer prep. the thread ended up going over the process that the dealers were supposed to do that they didn't.

the hakone edition comes with a different radio that doesn't output the signal that the amp is looking for, so the amp just doesn't work. i'm not clear on weather it's not turning the amp on, or if they switched line level for speaker level outputs, but no matter the case, there's no audio output from the speakers.
