Would the bm24 make a difference in audio if you have the hk amp fitted ?

The HK uses speaker-level inputs, so I can't imagine it making that much of a difference. I'd find a member who has one at a meet to try a swap - I have noticed more bass presence with the BM24 but that may not apply when using the HK amp.

Actually it might very well make a difference since, as you said so yourself, the HK amp uses speaker outputs from the radio module, not line-level outputs which do not exist. Therefore, the quality of the sound at the output of the radio module, be it the OEM one or a BM24, makes a difference in the final sound quality once amplified by the HK. I don't own a HK setup myself but considering the vast difference in sound quality from the OEM module to the BM24 one, this should result in better sound quality when paired with the HK.

Worth a try, as the BM24 is certainly a very good improvement.

Thanks for the guide. One question - I can solder wires together OK, so will I be able to solder the joints you mention without having done hardly any soldering on a PCB before (can't remember when I last did, maybe done it once or twice before) or do I need to be fairly experienced at soldering before attempting this? i.e. is it easy to mess up?
P.S. I went from Symphony non-HK to Highline BM24 with HK and it's miles better - even I could tell that despite knowing nothing about car audio!

Great post Matty, thanks. I just picked a BM24 up on EBay for £65. A fairly decent price I think
