Hi all,
I recently went down the speaker upgrade path on my LUX package, following this tutorial. The B&O system made it pretty difficult, and as far as I know, there's still no ForScan info for the B&O (if this has changed, please drop me a link). I had a professional do the install, but unfortunately could not get the Key 500.1 to run above 30% volume without clipping.
The professional ended up installing his own small amp on the back side of the sub, while keeping the factory amp in place. The reason he kept the factory amp in place, was because when he disconnected it, the SYNC system wouldn't work and he couldn't play music. He was under the impression the SYNC system ran off or was dependent on the factory amp, but that doesn't make sense to me. What other reason would there be that the SYNC system would not run/connect with the factory amp being removed? Would this be some B&O/DSP/ForScan dependency setting?
I ask because I need to swap out the smaller amp for one with a RJ45 for subwoofer control, but there isn't the space to mount a larger amp with RJ45 while the old amp is still there, and without the old amp, the SYNC system wasn't working. Any ideas why there was an issue removing the factory amp? Thanks.
