Individual M audio amplifier

I'm planning to retrofit the individual audio system from an M3

Does anyone know if the amp will fit in the stock position behind the side panel in the rear where the regular logic 7 amp fits?

Yup. It's plug and play if you have L7. You will need the IA subs as well as they are driven at a different impedance than your stock L7. L7 subs powered by an IA amp will sound like they are missing as they will run at half the power. The rest of the L7 speakers will work fine with the IA amp.

And you'll need coding as well.

Like 6ixSpd said, the l7 speakers will work, but the IA speakers and subs will sound better as the amp is tuned for them.

The amp is plug and play, its the same size and uses the same mounts.

best to code it but it will work without coding if your cic is set to l7 audio, you could just change the cic to IA and leave it at that.

But I would remove l7 from the vo and add IA.
