H/K upgrade, help me chose components

[X.X.I.V]

Hey all, looking to see if the system components im thinking of putting in make sense for a H/K system upgrade or there is a better option based on quality for less money.
I'm budgeting 5k on this. Would like to do this myself if possible.
First option to go to Audison's plug and play solution
Audison bit-DMI
Audison F8.9 DSP/Amp with TechnicsPnP harness
And the all the Audison direct fit drop in speakers except for the center
Another idea was keep the Audison DMI and F8.9 DSP/Amp and the chose the Focal direct fit drop in speakers except for the center.
I like both options but wanted to throw it up here for debate.
Maybe someone on here has heard this setup or seen there's a better combo.
Im open to all options.

$5K is more than enough, specially if you're doing it yourself!

Which HK (Option code) system do you have?


Cheers!

A Helix V Twelve DSP - with active front and center components (need to run wires from trunk to front and center tweeters, total of 12ch)- would be a better amp/DSP than the 8.9.

Ooof!

Wow! You could but IMO, No need to be so complicated:

* Each door/side panel with its' own (Mid/Tweet) crossover (active or passive) is its' own channel.

* Plus, the Under Seat (2) Woofers

Center Channel can be omitted without issue.

You can use existing OEM wiring and splice in Factory (male) connectors.

The only wiring that "needs" to be done will be in the trunk.


Cheers!

if any of you want to get rid of your HK amp after you go through with the upgrade, let me know. My factory HK amp just shit the bed and i'm on the hunt for a replacement. My amp has 9393194 on the label, part #65129393194.
