No I did not. Is this common practice to do this first?

Try turning volume control on head unit to about 75% of max volume, then adjust the amps gain until you begin to detect slight distortion- back off gain tad bit- done.

Anyone know if foveon’s tune will work well in the f30? Also, is the software just windows compatible, or can I use my Mac? |

I think you're stuck with Windows to run the software.
Not to be a downer but in my limited experience tuning the older 82DSP unit I found no major volume increases by tweaking gain on individual channels- you'll get some noticeable increase by doing so but it's not huge, kind of more like 'fine tuning' at the channel level to precisely dial in balance between speakers. Certain the amps gain is Max and not Min position? Just double checking. |

Yes, I left a song playing and double checked my theory by adjusting min to max. It was indeed all the way up. I had to look like a kid at Christmas who Santa Claus forgot Now to find one of these crummy windows machines.... or to reengage parallels. |

Will I be able to use these tune files for the bmw 7up amp.
're tuning, would you say getting a Mic to tune would get sufficient results or it is best to go to a tuner so they what the are doing. |

I've been tuning by ear and have gotten some pretty pleasing results. This is the older 82DSP amplifier using a 'tune' file provided by B-Tech tailored for my X3 SUV. I would recommend you get a 'stock' tune designed for your car and play with the tuning software yourself first before considering purchasing a calibrated microphone and using the RTA. The mic will run you near U.S. $100; I would think an audio shop would cost 2X or more than that to have them do the tuning. There are pluses to doing your own tuning as opposed to having another person do it: we all have our personal preferences on type of music and how we like the music to sound - by tuning yourself you can quite easily play with various settings and listen for a few days and then make additional tweaks to refine the system to your specific taste. As I recall Audiotech-Fischer has several stock tunes available for download. Use quality source material, CD or uncompressed digital files via AUX input - Good luck/Bill |

Maciej@BimmerTech that did the trick, thank you. Went with a modest 3db gain adjustment to start and found it quite nice. No distortion on a cacophony of musical interests at maximum volume ranging from Metallica to Avicii. Also used phone app to measure dB and saw peaks over 100, although I don't make a habit of listening that loud. I may try a different profile shortly just to experiment, but I am much happier with the Bimmertec Amp now.

Hey Guys!
Just did my install of front Alpha One woofers and tweeters, a center channel woofer, and 2 alpha one subs. I also installed a bimmertech pp82dsp amp. Sounds pretty good but still getting used to the sounds, it doesn't sound quite right. Is there anyone who has attempted this sound profile? If not any recommendations to start from? |

Hey guys, just out of curiosity does any one have a tune for the following set up:
Bavsound: Dash centre mid with tweeter Rear doors mid with tweeter Ghost Subs x2 Bimmertech: Front door speakers and tweeters Coupled with the Bimmertech amp. Why such a weird (mix) set up, you ask? Well I came across someone selling their Bavsound speakers and the amp initially purchased for an X5. They had purchased the wrong set and it sat in their garage new and unused. I took a gamble on the lot and though most parts fit, the front door mids don't. Further contact with Bavsound said they don't sell the parts individually so I went ahead and purchased the Bimmertech front door set. Now left with a spare set of tweeters, I'm thinking to drill the holes and add them to the rear doors. At the end of it all I will have left are 2 mid Bavsound speakers unused. Thoughts, anyone? |

You might do well to get the stock tune file for your car from BimmerTech and then do some tweaking with Audiotech Fisher software- I did this in my F25 X3, tuning by ear, and was able to achieve good improvement, pleasing results.
The AF software is fairly straightforward to use, takes bit of listening/tuning but not difficult to make some clear improvements to suit your ears. Good luck/Bill |

Hi all! Installed a Bimmer-Tech amp I bought off the classifieds section and tuned it. I'm running the PP86 and everything else is stock in a hi-fi F31 wagon.
Hope to upgrade the woofers next and then a full speaker replacement. |

There's been some talk on the forum about how the stock speakers in hifi config are good enough. So perhaps scrutinise the amp tuning and see if you get sufficient results before spending aftermarket speakers.

Worked Perfect in Hifi F34 Setup. Thank you for the share. I added an Alpine self powered sub in the back. I could not be happier. Going to upgraded Tweets later tho
