I don’t really want to add a piggyback amplifier and line converter to hook an aftermarket amplifier in-line. I’d ideally like something that’s easy and plug-and-play although that may not be possible. Is there any amplifier on the market that can either replace the OE unit (accepting those optical inputs from the head unit), or hook in after with an all-in-one solution?

I looked up the Audiocontrol LC-4.800 as you suggested above but couldn’t figure it out from the description. I assume that you cut the analog speaker output wires from the OE amplifier and just insert that amp in with the outputs then going to the speakers, but I could be wrong. If you could quickly walk me through that it would help. Thanks
