Best options for better bass?

330i-M-sport · 12-13-2015, 09:14 AM

So I've had my car about a month now and really am unhappy with the car audio, what are my best options for better sound mainly with the bass? I have been looking and not much popping up for me for ideas.. I have a center speaker front tweeters and front and rear door speakers, not sure how f that's stick or hifi..but any help getting me some better sound would be much appreciated!!

If u have a center speaker you have hi fi at least. IMHO your best bet for better bass is installing a separate amp and a trunk sub.this is easy with hifi and the harness sold by Technic who is one of the forum members. You can also replace your existing amp with a multichannel amp that will run a sub and the rest of ur existing speaker with more authority. Good luck

OK sweet thanks for the options! I'll check into those..

My vote would be SWS or BavSound underseat upgrades with PNP Bimmertech amp.

I find the stock bass to be sufficient if your amp is programmed with the right sound file, but everyone is different. I would suggest that you install Bav stage 1 and amp first and see how you like them.

If you have Harmon Kardon or planning on getting bimmertech amplifier, u can get the 2 ohm version. If you have hifi and planning on keeping the stock amp, you will need a 4 ohm version.

Our amp is only compatible with the base HiFi system.

Ok sweet thanks man!!

MickySah · 01-11-2016, 07:32 AM

Hi I've just bought a 4 series gran coupe, no HK and not Hifi just the base audio so no amplifier. I have already got a fairly powerful amp and sub woofer from another car which I want to reuse. How would I go about getting a line out, remote and power to the boot? do I need to splice any wires? I'm just looking for the simplest way to do this? Thanks
