Hi All,
I have searched long and hard all over the net and haven't found the answer to these questions - pls can anyone help

1) Someone has fitted an aftermarket ALPINE unit to a car that I'm aboyt to buy - but only the front HK speakers are working. Any idea what the problem could be?

2) Where is the HK amp located? Any pics would be great. Is it correct that its behind the driver's side rear seat?

3) What is needed to make the HK system work with aftermarket units? Does the BMW harness need to receive RCA phono level line out signal, or full speaker power?

Your help would be MUCH appreciated!!! Thanks, Julian.

The HK amp is located behind the drivers side rear passenger seat. It takes speaker level audio inputs from the HU.

Do you have the original BMW HU that you can fit to test the system? Do you have any pictures of any modifications to the vehicle wiring harness? Have you checked the fader setting in the Alpine?
