Non hk to hk amp swap amd numerous other questions
Looking to improve my audio, I've tried better speakers and stuff but thr problem is my output source.
my 13' r58 has non hk amp underneath the drivers seat and unfortunately the hk is not plug and play..
is there anyway to run the hk amp with my setup or am i going to have to remove the stock non hk amp and run an aftermarket one ??
imo the standard hk setup is hard to beat so I'm testing to get equally as nice or better sound quality.
I also have the GPS screen option , every aftermarket like android screen/head unit ALL say they don't work with the GPS/screen optioned cars.. is that true?? I swear it can't be
also , are these the speakers outputs from the amp ? I'm wondering for when and if I have to run an aftermarket amp.
I would just go aftermarket. Decent speakers with a mid-range 4-channel amp would probably sound much better. Then get a small pre-packaged sub to stick somewhere.
Or….. just screw it, and enjoy the mechanical cacophony of noises from the car.

o I absolutely love my hurricane engine sound but on long drives I do enjoy some music when i get into areas with no talk radio( heavy metal & progressive)..
plus my daughter always likes listening to music when shes riding with me and im sick of hearing those rear 6x9s rattle as much as they produce bass because theur voice coils are probably loose..i installed in the front 6.5im 2ohm 75watt rms 300wattmax speakers with a crossover and tweerers and they do actually sound better than the hk speakers so I'd like to run the same speaker setup but 6x9s in the rear and have a good powersource , which I'd have to look into more to fit in mounting area and match the speakers power.
I think a good mid/highrange amp powering the door speakers/tweerters and rears along with an under seat subwoofer or even a 6in sub in the trunk. facing through the fold down door that id remove.
but in that pic I uploaded, are those the speaker outputs ? Im trying to locate their main source out so that I can run the aftermarket amp right there to power them..
