FS: DSP Carver AMP and DSP Head Unit
I have for sale the top of the range amp supplied oem by bmw and matching head unit which has dsp settings built in. Willing to sell seperately but ideally would like to sell as a pair.
Amp - £200 exc delivery (provisional pricing)
Head unit - £150 inc delivery (provisional pricing)
Upgrading both of these has cost me £1k. The DSP carver amp brand new is around £500 (i think) . No idea what the head unit is brand new but this is the special DSP version so worth more than a normal one.
Both are in fully working order i upgraded because i wanted a new head unit not because these were not working.
Let me know if pricing is off. Im willing to listen to offers but these are rare parts.

Also, it may be worth adding if the head unit is for cars with nav or notSonnyA85 wrote:I have for sale the top of the range amp supplied oem by bmw and matching head unit which has dsp settings built in. Willing to sell seperately but ideally would like to sell as a pair.

Does anyone know if this is just plug in and play?
And is it compatible with a non-nav car?

There is no special DSP headunit, they are all the same. Business non nav and professional with nav.

I may have killed my amp due to water ingress - it might also just be a fuse. I'll find out this morning, so could I provisionally say yes to the amp at £200 and let you know later once I've tested the fuse?

There is also a 30amp fuse on the amp itself, as well as the others you'll read about. Mine had same issue recently, caused by same thing!Worcester_spoon wrote:I may have killed my amp due to water ingress - it might also just be a fuse.

you need the wiring which I'm sure you could get from elsewhere, also you will need to buy 2 subs and 2 mids and wire them up as well. the dsp carver system has 4 subs and 4 mids and 2 tweeters. the normal system only has 2 subs, 2 mids and 2 tweeters.FR08MEE wrote:Does anyone know if this is just plug in and play?

it came out of a non-nav car so its 100% compatible with a non nav car

huh the amp is £1000 new? if that is the case then my pricing is way off. i'm willing to sell it for a good price but as I don't know it's true value it looks like I may be giving it away at £200 if it's £1000 new.Moheddine wrote:I can tell you that amp is more than double that price new!
plus it looks like i may have overpriced the head unit so i may take some cash off the head unit and add onto amp. i'm not looking to rip anyone off it's just i have no clue what these are worth and you have to have an asking price on here.

i believe they are different.srhutch wrote:There is no special DSP headunit, they are all the same. Business non nav and professional with nav.
mine has special settings the others don't have. it's also extremely easy to upgrade from the other units but not this one. that is why it has cost me £1K to upgrade from the system i'm selling.
i'll take pictures and upload soon.

judging by responses £200 may be too cheap for the amp and £150 too expensive for the head unit. i thought the amp was only £500 new so though £200 sounds good, looking up though the amp is £1000 new, which means £200 is a bit cheap. i don't want to rip you off or anything but I've spent £1K on the cars audio upgrading from this so looking to recoup as much as i can, i had no idea this amp was worth £1K on it's own.Worcester_spoon wrote:I may have killed my amp due to water ingress - it might also just be a fuse.

what do people think is a reasonable price if a new one is £1K? i'm willing to go with a consensus on this. i'll upload pics in 5 mins away to take some.

If you look at what has sold on eBay, they vary from £80-300, so I actually think £200 is about right for here.
The reason they are so high new is because they are a special order, so I wouldn't let that influence your pricing - conversely interior hardtop lock covers were a few quid from BMW but now they go for silly money. I think £200 is a fair price, given you won't have to pay eBay and PayPal fees selling on here also.

That's because it has a DSP amp connected to it. If you look on realoem.com you will see there is only one type of each head unit, none of wich have an option for DSP.SonnyA85 wrote:i believe they are different.srhutch wrote:There is no special DSP headunit, they are all the same.
