Review Bavsound Ghost Woofers and Match Amp
I previously installed the Bavsound woofers and they are a decent improvement to the sound with the stock amp.
https://www.bavsound.com/BMW-Underse...ofer-Upgrades/ I also just added the match up7BMW amp https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/m...ifiers/up-7bmw I have spent a fair amount of time tuning the amp and I just realized these woofers are supposedly rated down to 20HZ. I previously hadn't tried any boost on the 25HZ slider but I slowly adjusted the sliders and I am actually shocked at how low these subs play and how good this amp with limitless adjustability is!! I am very pleased with the system and as I get more time in tuning and adjusting will only get better!! I suppose in time I will add the built-in sub in the trunk, but for now this will do |

The Eatons make a big difference, but the amp has unlimited adjustability. Maybe someone can chime in who did the amp first |

Love Bavsound
I ordered the car with the HK system, but I did not enjoy listening to it. I wanted to replace all the speakers and the amp at once, but because of availability issues I ended up getting the amp first, then the stage one speakers, and finally the Ghost version 2 subwoofers. The system sounded better with each replacement, but did not sound correct until the subs were in. The tune that came with the amp worked very well, so well that I decided not to risk tweaking it. Now the system sounds great.

I feel ok about the HK system in my 2019 but it has never once thrilled me. I have seriously considered the $2,700 to bavsound out the entire thing. I wouldn't mind starting with the amp and subs to see if that cleaned it up enough to enjoy.
The UP7 isn't for HK systems right? |

I got the amp that at the time Bavsound was selling along with the speakers. It was the Match PP82DSP. Similarly, the tune was the tune that Bavsound pre-installed on the amp. At one point I learned from Bavsound that this tune was based on the stage 1 speakers and the Ghost version 2 subs. According to the company, the Ghost 2 subs had a broader frequency range and different frequency response from the OEM subs. That may explain why the system did not sound right until I got the Ghost 2 subs. |

I installed the Ghost woofers first and the improvement is rather significant. Did you know there are separate notes to some bass? BMW apparently does not know this. Install really was all of 30 minutes. I think I'm doing the bavsound stage one speakers next and then the amp after all that is in place... and then I will have spent $2700 to replace my $800 HK system. *face palm*

Hekler, what type of "adjustments" did you make for the amp. ALso, I have the Revenant Bavsound amp at home waiting to install with their Ghost subs. I should only have to set it to the newer, HK Map I believe, does that sound correct? Hoping the amp and subs upgrade help the loudness and clarity.

I did the Bavsound speakers first, then their amp and finally the ghost woofers. Waited for sales on each to reduce cost. Still mulling over whether I want a subwoofer in the trunk. Very happy with the results so far. |

The match seems to have the most adjustability, the power is strong and very clean sounding. Even though I haven't figured out hot to us the Real Time Analyzer yet, it sounds very good!!

They gave me a refund on the HK when I ordered it in my 2014, lot of us got $ back because the description was highly inaccurate.
