PREORDER SALE: X5 Specific Subwoofer System

[jpoole]

I would like to see the box sold un-loaded with all the box mounts. I have an aftermarket eclipse head unit and have the amp and JL 8w3v2 from my last car. I have been waiting for someone to offer up a box for that compartment to install into.

Thanks, Jeff

I can tell you for sure that we will not be offering the enclosure unloaded; it will always come with a subwoofer. Possibly without amp / wiring, but never without the subwoofer.

EDIT: It's worth noting that part of the reason for this is that we are having the subwoofer tuned specifically for the enclosure / amplifier we're using.

I pre-ordered my Sub the day it was announced here. I can't wait for it to arrive! Micah, keep us posted as ship dates near. Think this will round out the BSW Stage 1 nicely. Then I don't have to listen to that stupid hatch rattle. )

Thanks for your order!

I wasn't sure what to expect when i dropped off my car, but i was amazingly surprised with the sound and solid bass levels, stealth installation, and amp setup when i picked it up. The 8" sub unit fit neatly into the compartment with the X5 specific custom-built enclosure.

Its been two weeks since i've had the unit and have had no rattling or unexpected vibrations while driving. Unfortunately I dont have DSP, but can make some slight adjustments to the bass and treble when needed and that works just fine. I'm no audio expert but the sound is incredible compared to my stock unit with no sub.

When i came to pick up the X5, Jason of BSW played a cd of The Crystal Method's Vegas and I was blown away with the bass levels in the tracks. Both Jason and Micah of Bavarian Soundwerks have been great to work with and I highly recommend this system and for the price it can' be beat.

Let me know if you have any question and i would be happy to answer them.

Gore - I contacted BSW to be the "test vehicle" but was too late - funny someone else from Buford got it. Where are you located - I would like to meet up with you sometime and hear this thing.

how does the sub compare to a JL Audio, also how simple is it to install. No previous experience.

I'm not sure what you mean by "how does this sub compare to JL Audio?" JL makes a number of different products and subwoofer types, so I'm just not sure what you're asking. Can you be a bit more specific?

Installation is very straightforward. You'll need to make several wire connections and connect a power and ground wire to the battery and chassis respectively. Detailed installation instructions will be included, and all work is done in the trunk. Even a novice should have no problems with the installation process.

i was talking about the quality and performance, also how about the amp where would i mount it b/c i have nav and 6cd changer. Are all the connections needed when tapped safe.

[Micah D. Cranman]

Because there are so many different JL products, it's hard to compare performance with no point of reference. I can tell you, however, than the BSW by Alumapro subwoofer is significantly cleaner and more accurate than any JL woofer I've heard. For an output comparison I would need to know the specifics of the setup including subwoofer type, amplifier type, enclosure type and location, etc., so I really can't compare there.

Yes, all connections used are perfectly safe to tap.

if i do go ahead and add the sub in the back panel would i void the BMW warranty.
