^ Page cannot be found. How is this any better than the current Audiotech Fischer-based DSP amps available (BavSound, BimmerTech, etc.)? Seems the same other than maybe toggling between tunes, but who needs to do that?

Not sure why it’s linking that way when I post the link, but able to see further details and specs when clicking car audio upgrades.

I believe they use Audiotech Fisher based DSP’s that are slightly modified specifically for BMWs to improve function. From what I see with this specific unit, seems to be increased power to each individual channel including the underseat subwoofers as well as a dedicated trunk subwoofer channel, therefore making it an all in one plug and play solution for those with Logic 7/HK/Individual Audio systems.

I just ordered the amp because my stock amplifiers base doesn’t work. Hopefully this amplifier fixes my issue and in the future I might buy the speaker package.

I installed the amplifier still no base however, I removed the driver side, woofer underneath the seat and found out that one of the wires was broken. I just placed an order for two new alpha one subwoofers. Hopefully this fixes my issue. I need to check if my other subwoofer on the passenger side also has the same issue.

Are you able to tell how it sounds, if much different, with just the new amp and the repaired factory sub?

Def exciting to hear your feedback on this.
