Anyone changed the amp on the audio upgrade, for clarity it's the system with the door speakers on my Y2000 C2.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone changed the amp on the audio upgrade, for clarity it's the system with the door speakers on my Y2000 C2. I don't want to go for big on show amps just something that would just plug and play and give a bit more kick. I'll then change the speakers. Again i've never done crossovers and would prefare to leave the cables and crossovers used by the original system. I don't want anything on show. Cheers all

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I take it no one as upgraded then. When i do, i'll let you all know.

POST 3Original post

I wonder if it would be possible to do your own equivalent of the BOSE installation? I guess that would mean speaker replacement, though?

POST 4Original post

You'll need to do some fairly serious rewiring to replace the amp, as the crossovers are built into the amp - they aren't separate unitts. The people who installed the Kenwood system in my car left the amp in circuit, and didn't quite get it right, as there was a slight whine coming through one of the dash speakers. I had a stereo fitter come in yesterday to remove the amp, and fit crossovers to the front speakers. The head unit in mine has an output of 50W per channel, so it seemed senseless to feed that into an amp with an output of 40W per channel.

POST 5Original post

Which means that the speakers themselves almost certainly don't contain crossovers, meaning in turn you'll need twice as many channels in the new amp. If necessary, you can buy passive crossovers from Maplin but matching the right one to essentially unknown speakers would be rather hit and miss.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
