BavSound Stage 1 / Sub?

Hey all,

It seems most people along with myself are disappointed with the HK upgrade. Anyone have good experiences with the BAVSOUND stage 1 upgrade? Worth the investment? Evidently they don't make a "Ghost Sub" for the F10 yet. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I rather not hack my car up improving the overall sound.

Thanks!!

Same here. I've had systems in both my Acura and Honda but having a BMW I've tried looking into BAV. I don't know...for $1000 I feel like there's better aftermarket speakers like Focal, CDT, ect...but seems like most people are looking for a plug n play.

I did a search here and didn't find much with people here using anything other than BAV. As far as the subwoofer I feel the 8's just ain't enough unless there's a replacement that sounds better?

I did the Bavsound upgrade a few weeks ago. Love it. I started with the HK system. Plenty of hard driving, clear bass now. I was skeptical at first, but couldn't be happier now. Before the upgrade, clear bass was non existent and I thought I would have to eventually upgrade the subs. Not now. The Bavsound midrange drivers are superb. Highly recommended. Install was pretty easy. Feel free to PM with any questions.

Ahh okay. I will keep an eye out to see if they offer a discount. Right now they are showing 1299.99. That seems a bit steep considering.

And from the looks of it, they have never offered a sub upgrade for the 5 Series

From some of the threads I was reading is it somewhat true that having subs in the trunk are pointless since the trunk is pretty much sealed?
