Depends on what you want from the system and how much money you want to spend - if you just want thumping bass with no overall sound improvement simply build a bass box in the trunk. But if want good quality sounds with better bass then the established thinking is all in this thread.
Which basically involves the following: Disconnect Center Speaker. Swap out front doors with Etons/Focal/BAVsound Swap out rear deck with JL's Move fader to the back 3-4 notches Play around with Treble/Bass to your personal liking If then you still want more bass maybe add the Bavsound Ghost Subwoofer / Bimmertech Amp If you just want to spend money just order the complete BAVsound system or have custom install with a local sound shop.

Three additional points: - All the pigtails do is make installation easier; they're not necessary at all. - A lot of what selmeralto did, including the Eton component/JL Audio speaker combo, was based on my advice. He's done an amazing job of making his own sound (pun intended) decisions and documenting all of it. - Realize that the OEM underseat drivers are not subwoofers in the true sense of the word. They are low-mid drivers that stop functioning well below about 80 Hz. This has been tested by another member recently in the 2 Series forums. If you want true gut-jiggling subs, a box in the trunk with its own amplifier is likely your only option.

Etons are a pain to come by in the states, and I'm interested in swapping out the fronts because my fader is set towards the front. Personally, I wouldn't sweat too much about the rears and rather spend more time deciding on the front drivers. |
