I think you linked the attachments from an email address. Try hosting them on tinypic or a similar photo hosting site.

Cpl questions for ya. The unit you had in, why the change? Also how much you selling for. Just curious. And the intake....can you hear it? Hear it enough to make it a worthwhile addition?

I changed the Hualingan because I wanted to add more features like HD radio and/or Satellite radio plus more EQ controls. This pioneer has all that I need without the navigation, but I was not using the navi on the hualingan too much anyway. I'm willing to sell it for $225+shipping.

The intake is nice. You can't hear it below 4000RPM, but so far it saved me on gas, because of the much improved air flow.

Here are some pics of the BSW sub and amp that I installed last year. And a pic of the old Hulaingan that is up for sale.

Does anyone know how to properly tune up the new pioneer EQ and subwoofer amp. The pioneer has built in subwoofer controls and crossovers for highs and lows and loudness control. Not sure where to start to tune it up perfect. I read a lot of online suggestions but most of them contradicting each other, so I'm confused a little. Anyway, if someone is familiar with the pioneer and audio set ups please let me know.

Eq will vary by personal preference, vehicle & system setup. Setting your crossover freq. and high pass filters on the components (door speakers) is a good place to start. The HPF will allow you to remove frequencies that are too low for components to reproduce. From there tackle the sub. You'll want the crossover frequency a bit higher than the cutoff point of the components. As far as level, try to get everything to blend. The last step is to then play with the graphic eq, boosting and cutting individual frequency ranges (fine tuning).

I usually Leave the loudness and bass booster settings off and "0" simply because they tend to degrade overall audio clarity.

My apologies if this is a bit vague, there isn't really a "turn this dial to 8, and this to 100hz" answer for something like this....

Thanks for reply X5SND. I’m somewhat familiar with the basics, but for some reason I have hard time adjusting all settings to my taste. Right now I have the EQ to flat, bass boost to 0, loudness OFF. I’ve set up the HU HPF to 80hz and the LPF to 80hz as well on the pioneer head unit. Also, the sub amp has been set to 80hz and gain is almost at minimum, which should match the 4v rca outputs from the HU. Not sure if the HU controls all the sub amp adjustments, or do I have to do it only on either HU or only at the sub amp or both at same time…(should I turn the hpf of HU off and leave it for the factory amp of the bmw to take care of this).
Very confusing and at the end I have a feeling that it has to be set up a little better than the basics with EQ and everything else.


Thanks again for all the help I can get.

Thanks for suggestion though.
