Hi everyone and thanks in advance for any help you can offer me on this subject. I have done countless hours of reading but am not sure I got the answer to this one.
I bought a new head unit that has a built in amp that pushes out 50w X 4. Is it ok to "connect" the head unit to the AMP?(when I say "connect", I mean that the wiring harness from my Head Unit is matched witht he BMW wiring harness that is already there. Which would result in my HU's 50w signal going straight to the amp) P.S. (if I am wrong in this assumption, please tell me)
Would this cause a problem as I am thinking( and I sure might be wrong) that the amp is what amplifies the signal to the speakers. Usually, an amp is fed a standard signal from the factory head unit and the amp does the rest. However, what if the signal coming from the head unit( to the amp) is already amplified at the specs I mentioned earlier. Does this pose some type of problem for me?
So for BMW E39 owners, please give me your advice:
1. Leave the factory amp? Does it sound ok? will it be a problem?(Ok being 10x's better than stock) haha
2. change the amp? (sounds complicating and it is so hard to find an amp in Japan. surprisingly.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
