Anyone has done upgrade especially from HK based system and can recommend an amplifier?

Seems so far from my initial research there are 2 players BimmerTech Alpha One and also Audiotec Fischer (although it's not fully clear if AF have complete solution for the HK based upgrade but rather standard HiFi system.)

Interested why you want to do this? Had the HK amp failed? There seems to be a common problem with HK amps failing.

Thats the main reasons, amp bass is fooked but then again do I want to come back to same system if there is something better out there?!

I love listening music in my car and I drive a lot.

Have a search on the audio sub-forum for Match Up 10 and you should find a few threads where people have installed it. Apart from the different branding note that it doesn't come with the extra mounting harness that Bimmertech include as part of their version.

Think that's more a feature than a failure.
HK is most disappointing "upgrade" in my opinion. Basic, entry level audio at semi-premium price.

I have sourced local authorised distributor for AF, they are happy to sell it to me but strongly recommended tuning to be done by them to get best sound out from my car, preloaded maps they say sound average.
