golden_child Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Does anyone know of a good audio shop that would replace my HK set-up? Run new wires etc. The HK amp has died and I'm well out of warranty by 5 years and 100,000 miles. Finding a used one seems to be a crap shoot and I'm not spending $1000 on a new HK amp from the dealer. For that type of money I should be able to get a whole new, more advanced set-up than the current HK. thanks
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 I see you have a First Gen, right? You have better options then the second gens. My car has an aftermarket Pioneer system that came with it. I wish I knew a good sound place because I just went to Best Buy, and honestly my Sirius has had issues and I need to bring it back AGAIN to have them fix it. I'll be watching to see who has suggestions for this. Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
golden_child Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Posted February 2, 2012 :hmpf: OK, I guess I'm on my own. Thanks anyway.

JAB 67 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 If you don't find any other solution I might be willing to loan you my extra one, but I don't want to sell it as long as I have my present H/K equipped R53. JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B
golden_child Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Posted February 17, 2012 Yeah, a definite downside to the factory H/K in 1st Gens. Those replacement amps aren't cheap. IO know. I should have picked up your HK system after you swapped your out. Hind Sight sux. If you don't find any other solution I might be willing to loan you my extra one, but I don't want to sell it as long as I have my present H/K equipped R53. I appreciate the offer. But I'll probably just keep an eye out for one. If you end up getting rid of you R53 hit me up. I'd buy your spare HK.
Edge Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 IO know. I should have picked up your HK system after you swapped your out. Hind Sight sux.I still have it... but I still want to sell it as a set (including speakers and speaker grills). I just haven't bothered to put it up for sale again.
