About the Match M118005

From our tech experts at CEN

A 8-channel amplifier from Match, with a DSP integrated.

Who it suits

Drivers upgrading a factory system who want amplification and tuning in one box. Match is Audiotec Fischer’s OEM-integration brand, and these are designed to take a factory signal and make something of it.

Our tech experts advise

The processing is worth only what the tuning puts into it: measurements in the car, delays for the driving seat, crossovers for your actual drivers. We tune these in the vehicle at our Beeston workshop. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right amplifier for my speakers or subwoofer?

A: Match the amplifier's RMS output per channel to the RMS handling of your speakers or subwoofer at the same impedance. The Specification tab lists the power figures. If in doubt, contact CEN with your setup and we will recommend a match.

Q: What wiring do I need to install this amplifier?

A: You will need an amplifier wiring kit sized to the amplifier's power draw, typically including power and earth cable, a fuse, RCA leads and a remote wire. CEN stocks complete wiring kits, and the amplifier's fuse rating is the guide to the cable gauge required.

Q: What class of amplifier is this and does it matter?

A: Class D amplifiers are compact and efficient, ideal for subwoofers and modern installs. Class AB designs are traditionally favoured for outright sound quality on mid and high frequencies. The class is listed in the Specification tab where provided.

Q: Will an amplifier work with my factory head unit?

A: Yes, in most cases. If your head unit has no RCA outputs you will need a line output converter to feed the amplifier a clean signal. CEN stocks line output converters and can advise the right one for your vehicle.

Q: Can CEN install this amplifier?

A: Yes. CEN offers professional amplifier installation from our Nottingham premises, including secure mounting, wiring and setup. Contact us to book.

Q: Will the MATCH UP 8BMW MK2 fit my BMW?

A: It is compatible with BMW E and F models and G30 / G31 (pre-facelift) models fitted with the BMW HiFi sound system (option 676). All models with a RAM module (vehicles from 09/2019) are excluded, and the mounting plate is not suitable for 1-series E models. Contact CEN with your model and year if you are unsure.

Q: Do I need to cut any wires to fit the 8BMW MK2?

A: No. It is plug and play, using the supplied BMW HiFi plug and play connection cable and vehicle-specific mounting plate, so it connects to the factory system without cutting a single wire.

Q: How much power does the MATCH UP 8BMW MK2 deliver?

A: Channels A to F deliver 6 x 65 Watts RMS at 4 Ohms, and the subwoofer channels G to H deliver 2 x 90 Watts at 4 Ohms or 2 x 160 Watts at 2 Ohms, controlled by an integrated 64 Bit 8-channel DSP.
