Digital Pre-Amplifier Fiber optic Interface box for BMW dsp audio

That's the only real answer for digital out to other amps; but this exists too HiFi (Option 676) Add-an-Amp harness kit for RAM audio systems - Technic PNP

For the underseat Helix Ci5 seems to be the best choice, followed by Morel 8".

 

search this site for ewaygps or v621, find other discussions about it.

you can also combine the v621 with the technicpnp to reuse your factory speaker wiring too.

 

Looks like my source question is answered and I appreciate the assistance. Anyone stuffed a pair of TM8s under the seat? Thought I saw one person fit them in just barely.

They r on sale and I need an excuse to spend some stereo $. It has been about 6 months.

 

Check out Ground Zero BMW kits ...I use the BMW 4" in my Bronco that are great!

 

I will do that. Also been eyeballing the focal bmw sets. They are pretty economical out of Europe. Look like around $500 for the front separates, center and rear coaxial pnp units.

 

Another X5 owner (iDrive 7) from Europe. I decided to go with the Focals too. Morels were crazy expensive (Focals x3). And I only have the Focals in the front and rear doors. Center is stock HK.

Underseats are Match Up 8s. And I have an Audison 10” under the trunk floor.

The Focals sound amazing.
Absolutely no regrets.

I don’t have eway in the car.

My Match Up 10DDP is taking the factory signals from HK. Sounds really, really good. And I have all the factory functions still working (phone, gps, blinker, pdc, fm radio).

 

Am I missing something. This same set of speakers are available from RGsounds for about $500 delivered. Want to go full active and was leaning towards the xcelsus but these are tempting. Focal icc bmw 100, Ic 100l and Is 100l.

 

Running focal es100ks front and rear, Morel under seat woofers. If i did it again I’d go full morel BMW I/Rs . Not saying the focals are bad. They are quite nice. But very impressed with the morels underseats. Amazing articulate bass !

 

In addition to the tuning solutions box for about $450 and an SI 12 when they go on sale im looking at the setup in the pic that follows. Curious thoughts on the focals. They are reasonably priced out of Europe but not the higher end ones folks recomend. Are they better than the other two big dogs in the market that cost more and any critics on the mid budget system im putting together?

 

This would definitely be a really good setup and looking at the prices the Helix stuff is way better priced over there as that V Eight alone retails for $1800USD. Based on the pricing difference I'd look at doing more Helix stuff, like full Ci5/7s as they make the mids and tweeters with Flexmount adapters for BMW. I ran Ci5 8, Ci3 mid and Ci5 tweeter in a recent car and they went well together. Another option over Focal is the Match (like this line MATCH UP C42BMW-FRT.3) which I'm betting might be even less than Focal above.

 

The price looks a bit better than it is but still cheaper than the states. It's about 20% more with the Euro conversion and shipping. The match bmw UP C42BMW-FRT.3 series is about equal to the focals.
