Also, I'm a not specialist for audio tuning, is there a website that explains how to use the DSP tool ? Because it sounds strange for now, voices are too loud and central speaker too.
Thanks

Did you have the Harman Kardon system before? I have that system in my M235i convertible and have installed the Match Up 7 amp as well as an 8" Alpine subwoofer in the trunk fed by a 500W kicker amp. I am very curious to know how the Focal speakers (did you get the BMW-specific ones?) with the Match amp compare with the HK speakers w/Match amp.
For me, the amp replacement resulted in a very noticeable improvement in the soundstage and the subwoofer has greatly improved the bass detail and impact, but I still feel like the midrange and treble are lacking some clarity. I particularly feel this way after driving my E90 with the Logic 7 system and (especially) after driving my wife's new Audi Q5 with the B&O system. I think new speakers, at least in the front, are likely the answer, but do not have time to go to 5 different shops to listen in person. Morel, Focal, etc. all seem to use difference, dispersed dealers in my area.
