The aftermarket amp is definitely the way to go in terms of keeping the frustration level at bay. And doesn't have to cost too much if you aren't concerned with crazy power levels or stuck on brand names. In my case I'm going big though as I am a quasi-audiophile and I miss my 1500w+ stereo systems. Since my X5 is no longer needed to haul anything I'm going with a completely custom setup (5 channel amp + 4 channel amp) and maybe some fiberglass thrown in for extra fun. 
Time to sell the BSW setup I suppose to help fund some of this wackiness. |
Do you have a suggestion for an adequate amp for a non audiophile whose primary goal is only to trash DSP amp for something that I can tell is better but would be never be considered by a audiophile? I am sitting in my man cave garage downing a glass full of Jack Daniels on the rocks that I only drink when my father in law is around just so I don't throw the Seicane unit against the door.
I sent a critical email to Seicane about after sale service and told them exactly what my minimum expectations are and exactly what I needed. As always I got an instance return email that it is off hours and when they are working they will answer my email within 24 hours. At this point I regret not purchasing the Dyavin N6 even though the Seicane has greater versatility and is more the state of the art. I expect I will be spending more in total to get the Seicane to work properly than I would have if I had paid more for the Dynavin N6. At least with the Dynavin unit I could call the US distributor and get something done. As it is I have had a hole in my dash since a week prior to Thanksgiving.
