One nice thing the BT355's have over the PAC line converters is plug-and-play with the head unit. I'm not afraid of wiring, but if I can plug in a connector instead of stripping and soldering, I'm all for that! Can you point me to the AHB level converters?
It doesn't look like they even make the ones i have anymore, you should call them, all I know is all I did was remove the BT355's(i was running 2) and plug in the AHB adapters(one front one rear), no more muffled compressed sounding speakers, and I thought it sounded pretty good to with the Bt LLers. I didn't touch any other settings. i have since though lol i messed with the BT's a lot, never really could get them to sound like i wanted.

looks like this is what they have now, I'd do this and the flash they recommend, for both front and rear channels. https://www.americanhardbag.com/coll...ket-amplifiers

Thanks. I saw those. They still have high signals on RCA's. I don't know that all the amps like that. They expect low levels on RCA's. We thought picking the components took time! The physical connectivity issues are a way bigger PITA. LOL

I’m running the Focal FDP sport amp(and a small soundstream) they work great for me. I have heard some amps don’t work with them
