If you have M.O.S.T protocol (fibre optic ring) in your car instead of the most recent ethernet then you can use an Audison Bit DMI instead of the Digital Ethernet Decoder. Either one goes between the head unit and the DSP. Without these you leave the OEM amp in place and use the speaker outputs from the amp as your low level inputs to your new DSP amp. Still a nice sound but elimination of the OEM amp brightens things up albeit naturally a little loss in volume due to the elimination of that amp. But not much though as it's insanely loud
. Even 14 channels of DSP wasn't enough after I'd bridged channels for more woofer power so had to go passive at the rears with the installation of Focal cross overs in the empty place left by the OEM amp. Doesn't matter there as it's only infill music and I'm fully active upfront and the bass from the door woofers is insane. Didn't really need a sub but I had that in my previous f type so fitted it. The DSP is tuned for driver dedicated listening on one setting and surround sound on the other. All switched over at the DRC which fits perfectly where the cigarette lighter was and is programmed also for sub woofer volume.Not bad for a self build install and this is only my second. Helps to be an engineer and pretty handy with the fabrication etc.
