Do you need to replace a faulty Becker be 6600 amp or can it be bypassed with a newer radio with built in amp

You may need to amend the wiring if you replace the existing head / amp configuration, such as to connect the speakers directly to the new head unit.

Maybe try eBay for a used replacement amp.
 
Online search says Porsche Becker BE6600 is optical input amp, so the head output is digital and amp has digital to analogue converter as well as amplification circuitry.

Thinking:

1. Take your BE6600 to local hifi repair shop or look online for repairers and see how much a repair will cost,

2. Replace BE6600 with alternative car amp with optical input (check connections), web search says Harman amps are same as Becker and Harman are more common as used in many prestige cars,

3. Check existing existing head unit outputs for speaker / analogue line outputs and use analogue input amp / wire speakers direct; or

4. Replace with your new head unit and wire speakers directly to the new head unit.

Hope this helps
 
Another thought - check / clean the connection pins on the amp and the wiring harness connectors to it (spray with electrical contact cleaner).

You may need to remove the amp / heat shield.

Hi Marc, I have tried a few options and clean pins but nothing so last option is to replace the head unit and connect straight to speakers, you do know where I can find a wiring diagram do you?
