pondering on my old P38, making the proverbial list of things needed to get it on the road..

Obviously audio isn't really that important but If i do get it on the road it would be nice to have the long journeys to work not be in total silence..

Has anyone found a work around for the HK system in late P38's or is it just a case of trying to find a S/H Amp and hoping for the best?

thanks
H

Henry, look for Marty's solution. If I remember correctly, he used 4 or 5 HK amps from the earlier system & built them into a box to completely replace the DSP. That way he could re-use the speaker wiring.

What's the issue?
I tried my old head unit and it worked just fine.. bit of a whistle though, think it must have been poorly so put the original one back in

The HK DSP amplifier is unobtainable new & impossible to repair. A Discovery 2 stereo amplifier part number XQK100210 is plug compatible & can even be found brand new. You lose the rear door speakers but front speakers & sub woofer will work.

I haven't got round to fitting it yet but I bought one from here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154504582646
