Lol the whole community buys amps for Christmas.

Our HK system utilizes 10 channels, so this should be the amp we need for HK systems

*note* I haven’t verified this with anyone, just searched for a 10 channel version of their amp

This is the amp I saw on their site plus there’s a wire harness I found for the HK systems. Just need to confirm that it will work for the E46 HK system. Also just called my dealer ABT and they will tune my system for $400. It’s about what I thought so I’ll take it there in the spring since I don’t drive the car much during this season.

No it does not. The main HK amp is 8 channels. The subwoofer amp attached to the rear deck is a further 2 channels.

Edit: I should clarify. There are actually only 8 channels of amplification in the amp. It does have 10 outputs though. I'm not sure if there's any passive crossovers internally that split 2 of the channels to the 4 outputs. So you could probably use 10 channels if you really wanted but likely not necessary.

I guess you could try something like this 10 channel one but would need to bypass the sub amp down stream. Also whilst the sub is 2 channels it's mono so just 2 amp channels driving two speakers with the same mono signal. Technically the sub output from the main HK amp is an 11th output.

I did investigate this sort of product which should be capable. It will need tuning of course. Also will need some kind of adapters made up to be plug and play. I would not want to cut into the existing wiring

I didn't progress because it was a lot of money to spend on an experiment.

Do you have a BlueBus or some other hands free telephone setup in the car? If so, do you have echo problems with hands free calls? I've heard that DSP's can add enough delay to the audio that it causes echo problems...

I'm seriously lusting after the 10-channel version of this (Match UP 10DSP) for a non-HK car. Smaller, lighter, and more powerful that the original amp: win, win, win!

I upgraded the head unit to the new Sony XAV-AX6000 that has handsfree so I’m not sure.

I don’t believe the OPs amp is a DSP amp. I have a DSP amp in my X5 and they’re no problems echoing. The only problem some x5 owners had was their turn signal volume was too loud. This is adjustable in the settings menu on the I drive.

My new Match UP7 BMW is definitely a DSP amp. https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/m...ifiers/up-7bmw

Oh damn! I didn’t know the hifi replacement amps were a DSP amp. I stand corrected sir!

What exactly are they going to do for $400? You can download a spectrum analyzer app for free. If you have the ability to play with delays, a ruler is all you need. Tune to your ear from the driver's seat. Done.

I’ve never done anything like that before. Don’t I need a calibrated mic to get everything dialed in? I already did the measurements from the speakers to my listening position and entered that info in. Also my new head unit has some EQ and timing adjustments. So I guess I will need to turn those off and use the DSP in the amp for all the adjustments.
