You're going to be the second one to have one but the first with the bracket. We've sold over 100 to F30 owners. |

Yesterday, I finished reading all 19 pages in the f30 thread and placed my order for bimmertech amp for my 2013 F10. It will join my soon to be installed Bavsound Stage One and their underseat woofers. Can't wait to play!

Yeah, but I learned a lot and realized I have a lot to learn! The amp install sounds like it will be easy even for a noob like me. I'm also installing Bavsound stage one's. The door speaker/tweeter install could be a little more interesting for me.

The BimmerTech Amp hands down is the best thing in the audio world for BMW because I believe it solved many issues with an after market amp/dsp without hacking up the OEM factory wires... pretty much just plug n play! What I'm not sold on is the Bav's only because I don't have means to demo them and I think all your paying for is the PnP feature. I have yet read any reviews with anybody that actually ran an aftermarket amp on the Bav's and whether or not they can handle more power and if they are still clear at high volumes. So far after reading through every forum regarding BavSound it seems everyone is content with the results on whatever stock factory amp they have. Really really interested to hear those who purchased the BimmerTech Amp from Nelson who are running the Bav's to see what their impressions are before and after the install!

The F30 i used to create the F30 bavsound file sounded marginal better when using the factory amp. I actually took my time and sat down with the owner and we listened to both oem and bavsound speakers using the oem and he was unimpressed. Yes, they had more clarity and tonally the sounded better but you could't really crank them up. The weakest link in the OEM sound system is the amp not the speakers so if you had money to do only one i would go with the amp upgrade... To get feedback on guys that using the bavsound with our amp i suggest posting on the f30 thread, you will get plenty of feedback there. There's no such thing as to much power on speakers, that's why you have a gain knob and parameters on the dsp software. I have 270 watts going into each of my tweeters, midrange and midbass drivers. I love having HEADROOM. Last edited by Nelson@BimmerTech; 10-21-2015 at 07:46 PM.. |

Good stuff there Nelson! That's what I figured! My plans come springtime hopefully or summer is to go with your Bimmertech amp to run tweeters, mids and midbass and run an external amp for 2 12" JL 12W3's in a sealed custom enclosure. I think that will suit my audio needs so you'll be hearing from me when i put my order in!

I have a question. I'm waiting on the bimmertech amp and I know it does either 55 x 8 or 70 x 8 depending on ohms. My question is if I was to add an alpine pdx-v9 into the equation which put out 100 watts, would the speakers be seeing 70 watts from the bimmertech amp PLUS the 100 watts from the alpine pdx? Or would it only take power from one

Or their 120x6 amp/dsp but you will still need to add a second amp. This unit only has a 6 channel amp http://www.crutchfield.com/p_975PSIXDSP/Helix-P-SIX-DSP.html Assuming you're going to upgrade your speakers to something like the Jehnerts, even if you do our amp has plenty of power for any speaker upgrade that uses stock location speakers. If you're doing custom speaker upgrade than our amp is not for you. |

My rca alone costs more than our amp upgrade lol. Most of our customers have no idea the steal they getting with this amp. Even at full retail, and I believe we can charge more once you look at other options. You're getting an 8 channel amp with built in DSP, pnp harness, custom bracket and tune for your vehicle. I charge $125 per hour to tune local cars, for the F10 I took 4-5 hours to create a tune for it. Tell me that's not a bargain

This is an interesting thread to read! So if the Bavsound speakers are not really worth the $, will the underseat subwoofers compliment the Bimmertech amp well?
The wife's F10 with HiFi system gets the job done but...yeah |

Hi Nelson - I just placed my order for the amp for my F10 a couple of days ago and was wondering what I can expect for turnaround. Too excited to get some good sounds in my ride.

It should sound much better because you are getting more power and DSP! NOW if it sounds muddy than u gotta replace those 8's!
