You've nailed how to really make the non HK system sound fantastic!

Thanks Randy that means a lot to me. It’s a labor of love and I’m happy that you are enjoying it . Adding a sub is super easy and makes a big difference in the overal depth to the music plus I like a little punch. .

I just ordered this amp, do you mind sending the file over to me?

Installed this today, didn’t have space to install behind the compartment as it seems there is a motor there on my car (2019 MY).

Interestingly the oem amp is H/K branded even though I have S676 audio

Harman Becker make all the amps/headunits for BMW, that's why. Even the B+W one (it's all the same company)

I am wondering if this isn’t compatible with my car.

Dec 2018 build date can’t tell if my car has RAM or not, been playing around with settings but it sounds the same

Hiya, I just installed the amp on my car. Do you mind sharing the tune file with my self not really sure on how to set up the dsp. Thanks

For anyone interested in this, I have a Bimmertech alpha one amp, which is a rebranded version of this for sale (comes with the necessary mounting bracket to mount the amp).

Can you send me your setup file? I have the UP 8DSP arriving Nov 5th and will be installing Focal IS-BMW-100L components in front doors and Focal IC-BMW-100L coaxial in rear doors.

Still deciding on what under seat subs to go with.

any mounting location pics?

This past weekend I had a chance to install the Match up 8 DSP using this post as a guide. My situation was a bit unique in that I upgraded the OEM midrange and tweeters with the BavSound set. (not the underseat subwoofers).

On the stock tune that came with the amp, the sound was good. After loading crpediem's tune to the amp, I've gotta say, I'm very happy. If you have a hi-fi system, this amp is the way to go

In case it's helpful to anyone, this is my "final" 8DSP tune before I add a stealth sub in the trunk.

Speakers:

Front: Morel IR-BMW42
Center: IR-BMW42-CTR
Rear: Morel IR-BMW4INT
Under seat: 2 x Morel IP-BMWSUB82

I'm frankly shocked at the musical low end that's possible with these under seats subs. If I wasn't a tinkerer, I'd prob skip the stealth sub, but that's not the case and I've wanted to play around with a Morel Ultimo for some time.

Nice set up with those speakers. I’m still using the stock speakers and they sound pretty good but I wish I had the ability to listen to something high-end like that to see the difference. I’m sure they sound amazing.

You're only 7 hours away, but that might not be worth it for a listen.

I used the line out on the match up amp to run to my Rockford Fosgate mono amplifier. I mounted a JL audio ported 12 inch subwoofer box directly behind my back seats. Jl model:

Hi, I am installing this amp on Friday and adding a sub in my boot. Am worried about not being able to set the sound up correctly and by the sounds of it yours sounds great. Is there any way you could send me a copy of the file over? That would be brilliant if you can or anyone else that has set their system up with a Sub in the boot :-)

Have an update with the stealth sub? I grabbed the one from UK visual.ice on eBay

[goldenrichard]

Mine hasn't arrived yet--can't wait to try out the Morel Ultimo.

[I800C0LLECT]

That’s a really nice subwoofer. Mine is an AudioFrog GB10D4. I’ve always heard that the ultimo is THE most transparent subwoofer they’ve ever used. But the way it blends is absolutely addictive. Don’t turn it up too much 😁

[Thunnus64]

I have my Match UP8 on the way! Initially, I was just going to upgrade the amp only to use with my stock HiFi 676 speakers. But I had the opportunity to pick up a previously used Bimmertech wiring harness, mounting brackets and these for a decent price...

[Spendy42]

I had mine installed today but no access to a laptop so have ordered a long USB extension cable to connect to my PC so that I can change the audio file as the standard setup has way to much bass to the front and the rear sub sounds nothing like it used to in my old 2013 BMW. Hoping the file you shared will sort this all out :-)

Hoping its easy to save the current one and then its not too difficult to transfer new file to the amp.

May I ask... what standard setup (tune) are you using? From Audiotec Fischer? Or from AllWoodsAudio?

[crpediem_2]

i tried the one from audiotech first but it sounded flat as the speakers were not dspd and there was little done to crossovers, etc. i based my tune on the one from allsgood then tweaked from there.

[den110]

I have a question. When I disconnect the neg terminal on the car battery to do all the connections for the subwoofer and it's amp, will there be any issues with losing radio presets, coding (I use Bimmercode)? Do I need to plug in some type of external battery to the 12volt outlet in the trunk?
