My new amplifier upgrade

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 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.

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

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.

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.

For those of you that have upgraded to an Avin, or similar, did you. Keep the amp in the loop or delete?

Delete. Most modern head units let you control the subwoofer separately, which lends to a separate sub amp. I have the now old school BavSound Vert subwoofer, which came with a separate sub amp. For me that extra control over crossover frequencies and level was at least as important as the extra power. For a coupe, I’d expect OP’s solution to be just fine. Top down is where you need a completely different system IMO.

Where did you see that post? I've seen it posted on a "local" website shop that it works with E46, but only after 2006 models and only with the 674 HK option?

I’ll try and find it however it wasn't in a E46. The one I also purchased wasn't really made for the E46 and it works perfectly. I would really email [email protected] and he would let you know 100%.

[Mr.wReckless]

I saw a post online that it works with HK also however I would email before purchasing to be 100% sure.
