Are There Better Performing Speakers (2011 BMW 535i) out there?

brownb01 · 01-05-2013, 09:14 PM

I have the hi-if system and I am pretty disappointed. My Acura tsx had a better sounding system. I've played with all the setting and I can't get it to sound that great. I'll try some Hard drive music at a high bit rate and see if it sounds better. Sirius sounded great in my Acura and better even in an earlier model LS 430.

That's one of the reasons I wanted the hi-fi because it was supposed to sound so great. Maybe my expectations were to high.

someone spent 3k for this new speaker system.

is that last picture the sub under the seat?

I would be worried that all the gadgets on my doors wouldn't work after or something going wrong with that much install...

I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with, if they do come up with something.

Is this true of all F10s regardless of what level sound system, from base to professional? I've never actually gotten down and examined under the seats.

I'd simply be happier if I could boost the power with another amplifier (I have the base system). I'm happy with the sound quality, your in a moving vehicle with external noise anyways, but when playing DVDs the sound can be really low even when the system is turned up all the way.

In the US yes. My 2011 has the base audio system which base subs under both front seats.
