PREORDER SALE: X5 Specific Subwoofer System

[Micah D. Cranman]

Just got in the office - had to get a new computer for one of my partners this AM.

I spoke to our build house yesterday. The plan was to ship all remaining orders (except international customers) out today provided the paint finish is up to spec; yesterday was the last day they needed to cure. The enclosures are being picked up from painting right now, so I will know shortly from our build house if the paint is right, and if it is, everything is shipping today!

The reason why our site says "shipping complete" is because we sent the shipping labels for the enclosure/sub to our build house so they can ship direct to our customers, rather than to us. This gets you your product more quickly. But, it meant that we had to put the tracking numbers in our shipping system a little ahead of time.

If everything goes to plan, all customers should have their systems no later than Wednesday of next week depending on your location!

Paint is right! These enclosures/subs are shipping today!

I got one of the subwoofers from BSW that was part of a small pre-production run. I am VERY happy with the sound quality, as well as the fit and finish. I think you guys will be very happy with the product.

Curtis:

If your vehicle does not have DSP (the premium sound system), the signal we use is are the head unit's OEM pre-amp signals before they reach the stock amplifier.

If you have DSP, the signal is the post-amp subwoofer signal. This signal is already equalized and adjusted, so it is not ideal, but good enough that it doesn't require adjustment for most users. The change in enclosure / subwoofer yield a dramatic benefit, as does the higher output amplifier included with this system.

With or without DSP, the improvement is not in the rest of the system, but in the amount and quality of bass response.

Glad you're enjoying it, Brad! Let me know if you need us to move the DICE connection or add a spec.dock.

....or BSW, for that matter: anybody have photos they could post of the Amp install?

I hear generally about the CD changer spot or in around the spare tire well, but I'd like to see an image or two, if possible.

Expecting delivery from FedEx today!

Thanks for the help.

Micah,
I just sent you an email, asking about installation instructions. There were none in my delivery. The sub and amp look great, but I don't know how to install them!

[Micah D. Cranman]

E-mail sent!

OK, I will spend some more time listening to this new setup tomorrow, but I just got done installing it, and it is FINE!!! Micah got me the installation instructions, which were very good. I think this will turn out to be a very worthwhile investment. Thanks, Micah!

Same situation here. My sub arrived yesterday, but no instrux. Micah, perhaps as a proactive measure, you could email instructions to each of the group buy customers?

I'll be sending an email directly.
