I had them installed before and although they got louder than stock, I wasn't happy with the entire setup and uninstalled everything within two weeks. My installer disconnected the under seats and in their place he put in two 12's running 1500 watts. It didn't sound well at all being that the audio sounded louder but without much midbass. Just tons of bass. I guess best way to explain it is that it was too bright and didn't sound of quality at all. I just want an audio system that is significantly louder than my factory HiFi with added bass and sound quality. In fact, I don't mind the way the factory system sounds except for the lack of volume and how it gets muddy once turned up. I'm pretty sure the bavsound speakers won't be loud enough even with an aftermarket amp. I think I'm looking for something like ~100 watts rms per speaker for the highs.

I also have a Nissan Titan so coming from that forum the CDT's are a very well go to component speaker everyone recommends. I ended up going with Focal KPS instead. Your CDT's probably sounded like shit because you weren't running any sort of DSP...that's where the bimmertech amp comes into play. I would suggest running some 8's under the seat for more mid bass and leave your 12's for all low frequencies. I read somewhere I thing in the M3/M4 forum about using the 8" Gladden's for midbass instead of the Earthquakes SWS8 since those r more like subs. Did u run CDT's all around or just the fronts? For the rears like I said leave them stock since they're fill-ins but u can upgrade them if you want. |
Yeah you're probably right about the DSP. I did have an audio control lcq-1 hooked up and thought that this was what I needed to get things sounding right but nope guess I was wrong. I had the CDT's in the front and had some 5.25" midrange speakers in the back.(not sure the brand but they were about 150 watts rms each and very loud) putting in under seats for midbass sounds like a good idea if it will tie everything in together. I'm afraid the bimmertech amp wouldn't be strong enough.
