I have an E61 2008 mod with hifi sound system (676). I want to upgrade the sound system, and I?m considering these two amplifiers: Blaupunkt THA 555 PNP or Audison LRx 6.9. Bought are 5/6 channels and have about the same power. They also have High level input for the speakers output from the original audio system.
The price for the Blaupunkt is about ? 300 and the Audison is about ? 600. I?m also going to change the sub with two Earthquake SWS-8 sub, and mid ranger and tweeter with Logic7 or Individual. Does anyone have any experience with this amp? Is the Audison amp worth the extra moony? I?ve had Audison before in some cars, and they have been great, but I?ve never tried anything from Blaupunkt.

I'm looking to upgrade my stock system too, I don't know what to go with exactly, I don't really need more bass just more clarity. I don't want to do a bunch of rewiring or break anything with my idrive either.

I've now found some more amplifiers that I could be used. Here are the types and what I know about them:
Blaupunkt THA-555 - RMS power (2 ohm) 4 x 65 W + 1 x 250 W price: 300$
Class D. Balanced input for speaker level input.
Kicker 08ZX700.5 - RMS power (2 ohm) 4 x 85 w + 1 x 420 w price: 300$
Class A/B + Class D for the sub channel. Balanced input for speaker level input
Audison LRx6.9 - RMS power (2 ohm) 4 x 120 w + 1 x 470W price: 700$
Class A/B. Don't think this have balanced input for speaker level input so I need to use a separate High to Low level adapter.
Alpine PDX-5 - RMS power (2 ohm) 4 x 75W + 1 x 300W price: 400$
Class D. Balanced input for speakerlevel input.
I'm thinking about the Alpine or Kicker. Kicker has more power for lower prize, but i assume that the Alpine has better quality. Class A/B that the kicker has should give better sound quality than Class D.
What are you saying? Should I just go for the Kicker? Just received the Earthquake SWS-8 sub.
