The sub is still mushy. The location under the seat is not ideal. The mid bass is not kicking. The only solution seems to add amps, put subs in trunk use kick panels in front for mid bass and put tweeters and mids in the A pillars.
I switched out my 1995 740i with a Pioneer HU and 2 sets of Morel Tempo Ultra 502 - Morel 5.25" 100W RMS Tempo Ultra Series 2-Way Component Speakers powered by a Mosconi ONE 130.4 4-Channel 4 x 130W amp and a Gately 2x10 sub box with (2) Image Dynamics IDMAX subs powered by a T1500-1bdCP - Rockford Fosgate 1500 Watt Class-bd Constant Power Monoblock Amplifier. Total system power is a TRUE 2500 watts or pure, clean sound. I had Focal's installed first but the Morel's are unlike anything you've ever heard!
Alpha Ones, subs and amps are the best and run them all in my cars. I can also help hook people up if they need the gear! Lots of DIY videos if you want to do the install. Thanks for the great video!
Hey man I’m interested in purchasing some alpha one speakers subs and amp….do you sell those? Is that what you meant by you can hook people up if they want the gear!?!?
@@BMWDIYGuythey are pricey but and will put bowers & Wilkins, Burmeister to shame. Look for an audio store that has a demo unit with them installed. Have a listen before purchasing anything. So you will know whether it’s something you might want.
@VeneraSGF that's the one problem with audio upgrades.. budget. It's always possible to spend more.. I find the A1s to be very very good, worth the cost and superior to the HKs by a lot. That said it's always possible to buy better but the price scales away in a big way.
I have the 2014 F31 320i which just had the base 6 speakers. Front doors, subs and rear doors. If i get the full upgrades with the tweeters will it work or do i need a different door?
@@kobeli138 Audison prima full kit but it's rather expensive. Mine was over 2 grand on my 5 series. Front speakers + tweeters, underseat woofers+ rear coaxial speaker+tweeters+ two 1000W AMPS + a dedicated subwoofer in the trunk. It sounds good enough.
Hi, Great system :-D. Just notice when doing your doors, you are leaving the old speakers hols opened. This hols need to be closed has they will affect the performance and tuning of the speaker. Try using sound Deadening material to close it.
Love the way you did this video, replacing each in turn and doing a show and tell. Especially the impact of the front centre, then sub. NICE. The difference is night and day in the recap at the end :-)
I have a g30 and was disappointed with the Harmon Kardons. I was thinking to add a trunk box and woofer but have heard the bass doesn’t make it through to the cabin as I haven’t got the ski hatch or fold down seats
@@steelcowboy2751Yes, since I made that initial comment I’ve fitted a 12” DS18 high excursion with a Rockford Fostgate amp and it sounds awesome. There are actually perforated holes in metal plate behind the back seats and the sound makes it through nicely.
The weirdest thing about my 440 I noticed is that if I play music, then open the trunk, all of a sudden the bass is SO FULL and solid. But when the trunk is closed I'm missing out on a LOT of low end bass. Likely it's bass cancellation happening due to location of the sub.
Sound works by moving air in certain frequencies. When you have sub frequencies it needs to move a lot of air, so having the trunk open allows that air to move. The location of the subs isn't necessarily the problem, it's more that the air needs somewhere to go. I recommend simple cracking your windows or sunroof to let the air escape. This is why you seen a lot of people with their windows down when they're bumpin. It makes the much louder in the car.
Quite happy with the 12 speaker harmankardon 360W system on my car, maybe I just have the "wooden ear" some people say ;-) Anyway, this is very useful info on how to work with the speakers. Thanks. BTW: Mr Ramos, where did you get the 2-series front face (angle eye, grilles) banner at the beginning of the video (also half of it is on your hoodie ;-) Can you make available a copy of that?
Don’t get it: you use gloves but then use a metal tool to remove the trim; horrible practice. Why did the car ever have Alpine speakers that didn’t fit when there are the two options designed for the car?

This alpha one sounds good, but If u want to have the best sounding systems, go with Focal from amplifier to speakers

Ever hear Accuton and Brax
@@VeneraSGF I haven't so cant make a comparison. I try really hard to not ever compare products I havent actually been hands on with before.

For a more premium speaker and amp upgrade the Audison replacement BMW speakers are what I’m going with and the Forza Audison amps.
I have the 2014 F31 320i which just had the base 6 speakers. Front doors, subs and rear doors. If i get the full upgrades with the tweeters will it work or do i need a different door?
Same car, same situation at the moment, just looking at couple of brand system at this stage, have you upgraded yet? Any recommendations?

Is this better than BavSound? Im looking at their stage 1 speaker kit which is 800USD
Can I buy your car when you will moving on the next one ?
Focal ES100K comps in the doors,Audison S8-2s under the seats with adequate aftermarket amplification works wonders.
So you need to buy those H/K tweeter grills separately right?!

I hope ull be at 100k subs soon. U deserve it Fritz love ur vids ❤
Thats ALOT of work... But its worth it. 🔥 🔥

Not true, I added a Memphis audio 12 in a ported box and it sounded awesome
@@steelcowboy2751Yes, since I made that initial comment I’ve fitted a 12” DS18 high excursion with a Rockford Fostgate amp and it sounds awesome. There are actually perforated holes in metal plate behind the back seats and the sound makes it through nicely.
After installing all this, will you need to change the program?
I don't think so. At least I didn't
thank you for the video . No need to use Deadening mats or acoustic foam in G30 doors?

5:54 i have never seen speakers rust before loool. I would check the water seals etc.
To be honest, stock with alpine sounds better than full alpine
wdym by stock with alpine vs full alpine? Do you mean just the speakers without the dsp?
Do you've a set for Volvo XC40 as well? Including an installation recording?
Get ya a sparkamatic amp and some Pyle speakers and your golden
Why are you installing a sound system if you only listen to podcasts 😭
Because he wants to lol
So that it sounds like he’s in the same room with Joe Rogan
😂😂😂😂😂
all the speakers in the video are factory on every bmw model or is it a special equipment to have this many speakers?
I preferably like audison .. sounds crispy
True that
What about the crossover?
Any links to buy
Hi friend. are you selling LCI Led headlights for F30?...i need to buy it
better than the harmon 17 speaker system?
No maybe better bass but the harmon kardon has top clarity
How much rms ?
Great video thank you
Good video bro. Can you do more tooo videos please

@@FritzRamos Thanks, it's KoOl! It's be great if you can make F87 M2 and M2c wearable (F22 is definitely cool, sounds like a raptor pilot ;-)
The promo Code does not work :(
Test sound 2 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now you need a new head unit
Upgrading a sound system but not soundproofing at least the doors makes the whole job not being worth it
"best" BMW speakers? never heard this brand. looks like one of many "noname" brands

😂😂😂
I just got a new 330i I'm so disappointed by the sound system. My 2015 ate was a blast. BMW sound is azz.
Clear sound bad 0 bass
😂😂😂 stock with alpine sounded better than Full Alpine 1
