E70 Top-HiFi amp retrofit.

Hello.
I have had pre-LCI E90 with Stereo system, non-Idrive (BMW Professional). I have replaced stock speakers with Jehnert 3-way kit and then succesfully retrofited E70 Top-Hifi amplifier (AMPT70).

Retofit was easy as far as I already have MOST in trunk (CDC, ULF).
Just run wires, solder pins, code 677 option and set jumper on pins 1+2 in MOST socket of amplidier.

Now I have two problems:
1. Underseat woofers has no filtering (or at least it's not correct ) from AMPT70. Jehnert woofers now plays too high (>250hz) and too low (from ~ 30hz).
I have to lower 200hz on min and even then I have +3db peak on ~200hz.
I also have +3db peak on 40hz (car interior resonance), when Jehnert recomment HPF 60hz for their 8" woofers.

2. Low volume of PDC beeps. Front and rear - the same low. There are no PDC-Volume setting in head unit.

Question - is there are any parameters in RAD (RAD2) module such as PDC-Volume and X-Over freq\slope?

Kudos to you for doing that.
Why was e9x L7 not used?
Unfortunately, you cannot tweak the amp xovers. Rad2 / 3 does not allow you to tweak it via coding.
Check the equaliser in the unit and use -db for 100hz.

This one was cheaper than E90 L7 amp (200$ vs 300$).

P.s. I don't know what IC used in E90 Logic 7 amp, but AMPT70 uses 7 dual channel class-D IC. AMPT70 have passive cooling, when E90 amp uses 2 40mm fans, so I guess E90 amp uses class-B IC, like E60 and E65.

The power IC chips are listed in entry 18 in the above thread.
The spec sheets are in the links in entry 18.

Mate could you please elaborate on this?

What additional wires did you run, What do you mean by solder pins and What's the jumper for pins 1 + 2.

Any pictures you have would be awesome. Been looking for this information for months.
