Bi-amping?

I am not very knowledgeable in auto audio, but I find myself with two identical HiFi analog amps. Doens't seem like it would be too hard to set them up to fed left/right spreaker groups.

any value?

They really aren't very good amplifiers and are the weakest link
in the Hi Fi system and the speakers are not to good either.

Slippery slope. Upgrade the amps, then its the speakers. then I am needing a decent sub, next I am back to the head unit...

The stock BMW head units deliver good fidelity to aftermarket amps.
As long as there programmed to Hi Fi.
They are not feature rich and really behind even cheap single DIN Head
units in this category.

I threw in one of the Eonon Android HU and the sound stage is stunningly broader. Really sounds amazingly better.

That said, noise in the circuitry is evident and distortion creeps in at volume. Now I have two extra OEM head units, two extra TCU's, and an extra amp I need to find a home for.
