Full upgrade of HK "688" sound

[Trevorstein]

This is utterly confusing to me...

I want to keep as much of a "Stock" look as possible. I hate Separate (Bass) boxes + mine is an F83 so,
no room in the trunk, even if I could get over it!

I'm considering going full on Audison:

--> Amp,: [Edit:] "Helix V Eight DSP MK2" DSP/Amp.
--> The Front doors: AP BMW K4E Set (x 2 kits - One for the Doors & One for the Rear lateral Panels.)
--> Under Seat Subwoofers: [Edit:] "Earthquake SWS-Xi 8"" (4 Ohm)
--> Centre Channel: AP BMW K4M (Sold as a kit. Will only need one.)

I'm unsure of the necessity here for a "MOST" ("Helix - SDMI25") convertor.



Cables & (LOC) Harnesses:

* Technicpnp - "LOCXB"
* Audison AP-560 "PnP" extension-cables
* Audison AP-thbmw01 - I am not sure if I would need this T Harness considering the Technic LOC/Harness above.
* Audison APBMWBiAmp-1 cable set



[Edit:] I'm only doing a new Amp. because I'm "upgrading" the Mid's. & Tweet's. If I don't need to do so, ...?!?

Trying to steer clear of having to purchase that second ("AP1-D" - Woofers, using the "BiAmp" cables) Amp. But otherwise,
how do I hook up the Dash ("Center Channel?) speakers?

Opinions/Advice/Help??


Cheers!

How did this system turn out for you? I dont see many members upgrade DIY's for the HK system.

I will be updating soon...

I ditched the "V8" for the "P6".

I ditched the Audisons for Focals.

I ditched the Earthquakes for Audio Development W800 Neo's.

Bump.....any updates ?

[Trevorstein]

It will be a bit more of a "Long Term" ($$) project.



I'm committed, though. Neo's are on the way!



Cheers!

I worked for Audison 11 years ago. Had a pretty nice demo setup in my A4. Really love their stuff.

if any of you want to get rid of your HK amp after you go through with an 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.
