Coding works only if whatever you connect to it accepts balanced inputs. Otherwise, you need to convert those signals to unbalanced first.

Maybe. As I now understand it the HU is the same for the upper level audio options, only the amps are different. Since the DSP is in the amps, not the HU, that's logical. The base HU is totally different, as the amp and HU are in the same unit. Whether or not the signal processing in the base HU can be coded is a question unto itself.

The coding possibility was news to me. Whatever happens, it will have to be a later addition, likely when I install the SWS 8xi. |

I recently installed the SWS 8 in my G31, but I used the ESX QM500.4 amplifier. The sound appears less clear and more bass-heavy compared to before. It feels like there's an entire section of the frequency spectrum missing.

theres no way the earthquakes will hold up with an aftermarket amp(of quality) like a jl or alpine or jbl or pioneer).the other ones need this because theyre better quality. no matter what theyre specs say(and THEY say alot/marketing men). i have heard many quality differences after reading specs n tests of many woofers. if u cant hear it then u dont need to upgrade anything audio wise in ur car or home.and what bmw calls hifi isnt hifi at all jus to be clear on that one.there is no hu that gets close to hifi except an alpine cd player.maybe a pioneer. the reason the earthquakes sound best with fact amp is because theyre cheap and u cant over power them with that amp. use the same amp, like a jl, do the tests again w those 3 woofers.. but also have a human ear thru all the test blindfolded. real world and paper are 2 diff things always.i promise u then u will KNOW FOR SURE which one sounds better, because its made better.paper cannot show u this/make u hear this no matter how many calculations they made.a high end dac is what u need to get hifi quality w digital(cd and up on into all this crap playin crap digital files/compressed).if u dont care about quality then turn it up and rattle,smear,smudge out the sound to ur liking, this all seems subjective but its really not. loud doesnt equal good.digital reaches low lows and high highs, but that doesnt mean a thing! listen to crap stuff at high volume 5 minutes, ull see it literally makes ur body tired/fatigued. listen to quality stuff loud for 5 minutes, and u can keep listening without fatigue.
do the same test with same jl amp on each set of woofer. as u go up in volume go up until u HEAR one distort, and ull see which one falls first. i bet u 500 buks the earthquakes fall on their face first or maybe even blow! the reason the others need an aftermarket amp is that the aftermarket is better and they can take it because better made, and need it to sound rt/to push them up to potential. plus, u jus dont buy ANYTHING that says earthquake. that should be a given,lol. thats like buyin a tv whos brand name is BIGCLEARTV. jus cause a company lists specs/makes calculations, doesnt mean u wanna hear music at their most extreme spec. sum list more accurate real world listening specs so consumer is pleased when listening and doesnt feel lied to. some overrate their specs because thats where it will produce sound in general and is not clear on how much they can take and still sound pleasing.. and one reviewer may say these sound great. other one will give one star, but both do not say they using diff amps. always always if a speaker needs better amp to make them sound good its goin to be the better made speaker.its way it will always be, if we're talkin about "the better speaker", and graphs/specs/tests. and op seems to wan use a jl amp. no matter what, with all the best speakers put in car in the world, the factory amp will never EVER get u anything close to hifi.
