If you're referring to an install of a DSP amp out of an e38 or e39 into an e53 (or vice/vice/versa)...then no. It's not the EQ frequencies that is causing the muddied sound...and EQ frequency adjustments or ROOM/ECHO adjustments will not clear up the muddy/muddled sound. It is still "listenable"...but a true audiophile will be able to tell that something is not quite right (unless you only listen to AM talk radio/NPR talk radio ).

At least, that's how it was when I replaced the DSP amp in my e39 Touring. I believe the amp came out of an e38...and the amp worked with a simple plug-n-play...but the sound was a mirky/muddy sound until coded.

Here's a link to an old thread from back in the day that goes into some info about the DSP amps...check out the paragraph under "What Does Coding Do?": DSP Amp Thoughts and Buyer's Advice
