HK just ok? Really?
Have you messed with the equalizer at all? What are you looking for? More bass? Treble? |

I actually haven't messed with it too much at all. I was going to start looking for some settings to try out and see if i can improve it at all depending on how this post went. I am not necessarily looking for more of anything specific, but overall.

There's been threads here in the past with people adjusting the equalizer and being happier with the sound. |

Making adjustments to the equalizer will make a BIG difference. Give it a try, and let us know if you hear an improvement.

I was skeptical on upgrading HK speakers to BavSound
But, 3 years ago, I decided to give it a shot on my 650GC and was surprised. Since then, I upgraded my G30 540i with HK to BavSound on the first week of ownership. It is such a good improvement. AFAIK, BMW HK use the same speakers as BMW HIFI, just different Amp.

I am considering adding a sub (with dedicated amp) but am on the fence. I think the 8" subs in place now would serve as excellent mid-bass drivers but I am skeptical they can go low, especially with bmwx1sq's statement about the amp. I figured it was a bit under-powered for the whole system but didn't know if others felt that way.

I adjusted my equalizer using some options provided on the forums but turn logic7 off which to me sounded better. I have HK, is it better to have Logic7 on and adjust equalizer then?

I had B&O previously and absolutely hate the HK system. Too much crackle at certain frequencies and very limited depth.

Your cheapest and probably the most efficient way is to add a separate sub 10-12" in the trunk. That's what I did and I love the sound now. I usually keep my equalizer flat and Logic 7 on.

Thanks for this comment. I want to do the same and was hoping to hear from someone that actually did it. Now we will just have to see how long I can hold off before pulling the trigger.

For classical, better speakers and amps might be the ticket. |
