HK Sound System Question
I have an HK System in my 06-R52
The volume has never been very impressive (barely audible with the windows open) and I just thought the system was not very good and lived with it.
I recently bought an 06-R53 w/ HK and the volume is incredible and the base is deep.
I have always read about HK amp issues with "no sound" and never any issues with low max volume.
Can this be another symptom of a problem HK Amp? I am not to keen on the idea of taking the known working amp and moving it to the R52 in a trouble shooting effort. Just removing it seems like a risky venture and I do not want to end up with 2 bad Amps.

Check the settings on the radio. The HK has several sound modes and some lose volume when activaed. I think the "spatial" setting is one of these. Try turning off all of the sound effects and other processing. There should be a reset function on the radio for this.
This is should be the radio manual for your car:

I could not figure out how to get the amp out from under the seat without taking the seat out. So I decided to wait until next weekend to do that. I had just finished replacing the fuel filter and was running out of time and did not want to leave the car torn apart overnight.
Stay tuned...

I will read through this manual and see if I have some how enabled the "sound like crap" setting! Thanks for sending along the link. I am printing it out now. I like to have paper in my hand when I am reading.
