Nice breakdown on the speakers and install! Been watching you from Germany. Bavsound's site says this install requires a heat gun. I don't remember seeing you use one.
Thanks for documenting your installation process. Do you have the complete Stage 1 installed? Or just the subs? If you have stage 1, what is your opinion?
I just have the go subwoofers installed. I did not want to do the stage one kit, because I did not want to remove my door panels. I will say I did have this exact system on my f80 M3 along with the stage 1 kit. It made a huge difference, the sound was crisp, and the mid and base hit pretty well
Hey man I been studying your vids for a good minute; actually was one reason I pulled trigger on ‘24 6 speed one. So thank you for that. Do you think these will fit the ‘24 models, bc on the site it only shows up to ‘23?
My wife's Subaru Ascent HK is out of this world banger, the bass is so sick, while my G80 HK sound mediocre....I thought it had something to do with my adjusters, nop. It kind of leaves you scratching your head.
Good to hear they do returns if you’re not happy. I’m still waiting on my order for my g80 but I already know I’m going to want to do something with the sound. You legit feel like these offer more bass or would you say just a little better sounding bass?
System definitely becomes underwhelming with windows down. Going to install my jl w3 for now. Really want to wake the other speakers up though so we will see what I do. I really want an oem + solution. Need it to be louder for the highway. Did you have the whole speaker set up in the f80? If so, what did you think?
I had the entire system on my f80. I have a video about it. This was done about a few years ago. It was a big game changer, the vocals were very crisp and clean. There was no crackling in the sound. The team over there really know how to make a quality product that's not going to break the bank. The only thing you'll have to do is to be patient taking the door panels off. That's something I did not want to do myself on this platform. When I installed it on my f80 m3, I end up breaking some clips that resulted in some rattling later on. Which isn't a big deal if you're taking your time. But when I'm filming the whole thing it just takes a lot more time and patience
Yeah, I heard their pricing is a bit more. If you do plan on getting the system, they gave my viewers 10% off with the code thedailydriven10. If you do happen to watch the old video on my f80...my quality of video was developing at that time lol 😆 😂
@@TheDailyDriven I’ll have to finish watching your whole review tonight, it was late and I fell asleep lol. But it is honestly shocking how much we pay for a g80 with HK sound and it’s still so underwhelming
The HK system in my G80 is so trash. One of the biggest disappointments about the car. I’m worried an improved sub response will drown the poor highs out even more.
Yeah you would expect something solid with this platform being a M car but I myself was disappointed with the OEM sound system. I can honestly say it doesn't but then again sound is subjective to person style. One good thing about Bavsound is that they offer money back guarantee up to 100 days. So its less risk on your end. Plus you get to save the 10% off which I dont think they do too often with other content creators. I had their entire Stage 1 kit on my F80 and that was incredible. I honestly dont feel like taking apart my door panels for that now. Maybe in the future.
@@Top_g80compare y'all audiophiles or something? bmw consistently has better stock audios than a majority of other manufacturers (or maybe they are all just trash)
Well in my opinion and take it as is, for the price you pay, you would expect the system to be a bit more lively. The overall system appears to be bland and we're not the only ones who have complained about this.
The Harmon Kardon system is much worse in F80 and G80 cars than the HK logic7 systems in the older E90’s. They clearly cut costs in the audio system over the years. Compared to the burmister system you could get in a comparable Mercedes Benz, the current HK system is very disappointing. On the other hand, the bowers & wilkins system that is an available option on other bmw models (ix in particular) is among the best in the industry.
@@codean909 I seriously have never had a problem with the stock speakers, and now I bought a car with HK and I really think it's too much. The loudness it goes to is also too much. If you need more than HK you definitely have some OCD problems that need taking care of and this comes from someone with OCPD
Bavsound Ghost Subwoofers
For more information about this system :

DISCOUNT CODE : THEDAILYDRIVEN
code isn't working unfortunately.
I just emailed them to see if that code is the valid
They just got back to me. They advised the code should still be active. They also asked are you trying to combine this code with another code?
That’s odd mine isn’t working, I’m just trying to purchase the subwoofers only. No worries I’ll try again some other time thanks again for the help.
I just sent that feedback to them. I'll update once I hear back. Sorry for the inconvenience

Yes fortunately the heat gun was not needed. Thank you for checking out the videos! Much appreciated !
A few other channels warned the same thing but they haven’t needed it.
@@kentao4 yeah I was actually relieved that I didn't need it. I didn't want to make a mess 😆

Awesome sound sysytem and great diy and install video 💯
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Super easy install, this one is a no brainer! Who doesn’t want an extra bump!
💯💯💯🤘🏻

Sub under both seats up front? Or just the driver seat ?
There are one underneath each seat.
💯💯 yup
On the bav website you choose Harmon Kardon I assume right? Not hi-fi
Correct. I think some countries didn't get HK. I think someone commented they got non HK in Canada
Wouldn't mind getting some in my E90.
They definitely make a huge difference over OEM. They are allowing prospective buyers to use DISCOUNT CODE For 10% OFF : thedailydriven10 .
Great review my dude!!!!
Thank you ! 🙏🏻
is there more bass with the ghost subwoofers?
Did your G80 come with the Harman Kardon upgrade or base?
yes during the time of my order, I believe all US G8x came with HKs.
@@TheDailyDriven thank you! Car looks awesome! I just got my M3 CS G80 here in Nashville. Going for PPF today.
Good info, Thanks for taking the time and providing your opinion.
No problem and thank you for checking out the video 🤘🏻🎬
Great video thanks again
No problem 🤘🏻🙏🏻
that quality difference is insane love it good choice ken
Absolutely Aaron 🤘🏻🙌🏼

Hey, thanks for the video. I will look into this...ALOHA!
No problem Jim. Have a good weekend 🍻
Great video and detailed explanation. Much appreciated fam!
Thank you 🤛🏻🤘🏻. Appreciate you checking out the video
What kind of floor mats do you have there?
Those are weather tech floor mats.

Any comment here my man?
You can option harman kardon on these and I dont see how harman kardon is terrible compared to a toyota, etc.
Agree it’s better and too easy to install to not do it, but in the e92 can only really tell when the car is off 😂
I have an E92, 😊😅
Agreed the E92 you don't even need music. That V8 is intoxicating!
Do you have HK system from OEM?
Yes it is the factory hk's

@@TheDailyDriven cool. I get it. I’ll check into pricing again. Alpha 1 is kinda pricey I think. At that point I could get a custom setup and amp it!

@@TheDailyDriven 🤣 no judgment!
You had me @ 11:14 ngl 🤣🤣🤣
I just rewatched that scene....LOL 😂🤣
Did your car have HK sound system? Are these a big upgrade over HK?
Yes these are for the HK ones.

Time to level up that sound system 🤘🏻💯
Sounds good.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Cost a bit high $ for pair of Woofs
It's actually not that bad from two subwoofers in the BMW world.
Wait me Jon? Or another jon lol
Why you sound all guilty ?? Lol
Lol...it's the other Jon. Aka Rideskor
Lol 😂

You think in g80 sucks? …. Try the x5 G05 worst sound system ever in my g80 sounds a lot better

It fucking angers me how BMW cannot put a decent sound system in the 3 series! I'm on my 6th 3 series and every one of them was straight up trash
It’s decent. I’ve seen cars with the Toyota speakers lol. Also Harmon Larson is the same company as JBL
650 bucks for 2 subs and 40hz 😂
Thanks, buy better focal or hifonics with 35/30hz for half of the price
Underwhelming compared to what? A rolls royce? I dont get it… What other cars have such better speakers stock that make these “terrible”

The factory HK speakers are terrible. Compared to the last generation M3 and M4 for sure. Absolute joke.
