Why You MUST Upgrade Your BMW Harman Kardon Audio! | SOUND OFF - EP. 8: BMW M235i

[@Kev5565]

I've always preferred the sound of soft dome tweeters, i find metal dome usually sound a little harsh

Nice input, thank you

Professional video. I love it

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Thank you :)

[@chrisgreen5101]

Can you easily add a boot subwoofer to this system?

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Yes, we have options on our website

[@nielpolloski]

I think your really good presenter, good information and well explained

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Thank you, really appreciate the support 🙏

[@Matthew-yi3bm]

Awesome video bro. Your explanation was top notch!!!!!!!!! I just subscribed Wish I found this video earlier. I just bought 4 Alpha One midrange door speakers. Was looking at the tweeters and subwoofers and saw that all of the prices have increased so I'm not buying them anymore.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Thanks for the sub!

[@weduhpeople8504]

Being that I was a previous car audio installer and audiophile I want the software to control the active crossover points and level of filtering 6/12/24 db per octave and time alignment. Does the dsp have a 30 band parametric eq? Of course I need two microphones to adjust the eq watching the real time analyzer in the software with pink noise to also to adjust the sound stage on both front seats.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Hi, Hope you are well, I am not sure why you are asking these questions if you are such a pro. Yes, we can do that as part of tuning. Thank you

[@mikerbessy]

Do you use an off the shelve wiring harness to plug into the the Audison amp as the harmon kardon amps use different connections?

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Sometimes, depends on the exact system that is in the vehicle.

[@sussexperformance185]

What amp would I need for a F80 m3 with 12 speakers? Center -front doors - rear doors- rear shelf - under seat subs. I would want an rca output also to run a separate subwoofer

I had it, and the speakers were great but the under seat subs were crap. Ended up putting the original ones back in.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Did you amp them?

[@pj7008]

@@CambridgeCarAudio yes with the 8.9 Forza.2 channels bridged to each

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

@@pj7008 Then it was something else wrong because the products are far superior but all decent audio systems do require correct tuning and installation. We have never had to swap back or thought the factory ones were better

[@pj7008]

@@CambridgeCarAudio yes we did all that, the originals have a more subwoofer feels, the Audison just sounded like speakers with good lows. But I needed a sub in the boot to compensate.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

@@pj7008 I just can’t see that at all. Most people do go for a designated sub as no underseat solution gives much bass but it definitely gives more than the factory ones. I can only comment on our installs and work but I have never had this issue and we do a lot of BMW’s

[@drs-Rigo-Reus]

magnet size, neodymium and thus weight is the big difference.Bigger is better for SPL and SQ. I just removed Bmw stereo junk (...) and replaced with Focal. HK means Hong Kong, lol...

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

:)

[@maxl7827]

HK speakers are aight, just require more power

[@scottarrowsmith3649]

Dude always love your videos!!!! I am in the process of getting a 2 series convertible. What is the differences in quality between the Audison and Focal series for BMWs and with the package you are showing would you recommend adding in an Audison powered sub??

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Audison all the way. Check out some of our packages on our website

[@Rodo1586]

Another awesome video. In the states, we get threatened that swapping out amps etc. may void factory warranty. Do you hear threats like that in the UK?

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

We do sometimes, but we work directly for the manufactures so they normally okay with us

[@silverfox3113]

I have a standard g30 speakers howmuch would be cost of upgrading to harmon kardon or audison

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

We have packed on our website, best to check them out, level 3 and upwards is where the massive difference is

[@craigrogers876]

Do you do the same upgrade for the 2021 G01 X3

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Yeah we do 🙏

[@matapena6664]

So which one win for speaker system??

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Audison :)

[@mytrung]

I have an i4 but if you upgrade to HK the sub goes in the trunk. If I don’t upgrade js the default hifi speakers sub Under the driver seat?

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Not to worry, we can still Upgrade the i4, it’s just a different set up

[@maxl7827]

i4 is one of the only bmws without underseat subwoofers because of the battery being in the floor. I assume same goes for ix3
