Bavsound has Ghost underseat subwoofer coming soon
Just a FYI, I believe I signed up for info on future info on F15 X5 speaker upgrades. It appears that they are coming out with a Bavsound Ghost Underseat Subwoofer replacement for BMWs with factory underseat subwoofers.
Sounds like it is more efficient, better material 8" subs. Sounds like you can add an amp later if needed. Just wondering if any else has tried their other Ghost subwoofer systems... |

Totally in for this. I was about to make a custom set up in the spare tire area for 2 10"s and an amp and still have space down there for storage!

my alpine Type-R 12 in the trunk is tight, compact. total cost 550 installed. square box.
i can not believe how low and how hard it hits... i always go for Type-R for bang for buck. i get way to many compliments, with how cheap the Harmon Kardon and Sub/Amp Cost. Line out converters too... i would be interested in the underseat subwoofers as well... i had the earthquakes under my seat in the 2010 335i

I signed up for the "early bird" savings on this setup. I also have a JL audio amped subwoofer setup in the rear. I'm hoping that this upgrade tightens up the mid's a bit. I find the HK system quite muddy in the low end and lacking punch.

best sound system ive experience inside/outside, studio, concert,music hall.... all ranges were on point except the bass and low lows.. all i did was line out convert a 12inch sub in the trunk. again. best sound system in the world now for a almost stock option. for cheap get a Alpine Type R, amp and box, and throw it in the trunk....not too much space but will be perfect in our open cabin. i have a 12inch with HK and its is perfect for the vehicle. no complaints now. its actually epic haha

Does the F15 already have under-seat subs?
Waiting on delivery of my 2016 and this is pretty tempting. Getting the HK system, but all the new BMWs seem to be weak on bass/mid-bass.
Nothing like the Logic 7 system on my 2008 335i, which I believe has two underseat woofers. Just wondering how easy of an install this will be. Also, the bavsound site doesn't mention if this package includes a separate amp or if you tap off of the existing under-seat wiring. Hence my question about the existing system already having under seat woofers. |

Without seeing them, I'm guessing that they will provide more "punch" then the current woofers, even the HK system. I Just feel that the low end on the HK is muddy and not well controlled. Adding a dedicated sub with an amp really made a huge difference in the low end, but I can't wait to install these to see if it helps a bit with the mids....

Here is info from BAV on the underseat subs...
Is my BMW compatible? If you have a 2007 or later model year BMW (except E63/E64 6 Series vehicles), yes, your BMW is compatible, regardless of series or audio system types (we have a version for all vehicles after 2007). If you have a 2002 or earlier model year BMW, your BMW is NOT compatible. These underseat woofers didn't exist in any BMW before 2002. If you have a 2002-2007 model year BMW, ONLY the following vehicles are compatible: 2006+ E90/E91 3 Series Sedan/Wagon 2007+ E92/E93 3 Series Convertible 2004+ E60 5 Series 2002+ E65 7 Series 2004+ E83 X3 Here are its key features: Jaw-dropping bass response -- Dramatically increases the amount and quality of bass so every aspect of your listening experience is enhanced. Not only do you get more bass, but you also get more impact and tighter, more controlled bass response, so your music can truly come to life. We've achieved this through three key technologies: lightweight poly cone, oversized 40mm neodymium magnet, and a massive 50mm voice coil. 100% Plug & Play -- installs and fits just like your factory BMW woofers, right down to the bolts and factory style plug. Simple, Do-It-Yourself Installation -- takes less than 1 hour and only basic tools, even for a total novice. No complex wiring or additional hardware or installation is required. Simply unbolt your front seats, remove the woofer covers, unbolt your factory woofers, and install ours. That's it! But if you don't want to do it yourself, one of our Authorized Dealers can perform the installation for you (however, you'll need to purchase the Ghost Underseat Subwoofer Upgrade directly through them at the time of their full release). Super Tight, Punchy Midbass -- your factory underseat woofers aren't just subwoofers; they're midbass drivers. That means they play not just the lowest frequencies, but also "punchy" midbass frequencies like snare drums and high bass guitar notes. Unlike our woofers, which are designed to outperform the factory woofers for both subwoofer and midbass frequencies, other underseat subwoofer upgrades on the market are only capable of playing sub frequencies, not midbass, so you miss a huge portion of the frequency range. Perfectly matched to our legendary Stage One Speaker Upgrade Kit -- Amazing bass response can transform your listening experience, but if you want the absolute best, overall sound quality and clarity matters too. That's why we engineered the Ghost Underseat Subwoofer Upgrade to perfectly and seamless match our legendary Stage One Speaker Upgrade Kit. Factory matched impedance -- Depending on your audio system, your factory BMW woofers come in 2, 4, or 7 Ohm impedance. Our woofers are matched to the impedance of your factory woofers (we have different versions for each) to maximize performance and ensure the longevity of your factory amplifier. Extremely efficient design & power utilization -- We utilize your factory amplifier to generate amazing bass response in your BMW. To do so, we've designed our woofers using technologies like oversized neodymium magnets and lightweight poly cone to maximize every watt of power they generate and translate that into raw output. That means amazing bass response without replacing your amplifier. Upgradable design with 100W RMS / 200W Peak Power Handling Per Woofer -- Even though our woofers are designed to be extremely efficient to maximize the output of your factory amplifier, they're also built for upgradability, you can power them with an aftermarket amplifier of your choice up to 100W per channel. Translation? If you'd like to melt your face off with even more absurd quantities of bass, you can -- just add an amp. |

Just got an email indicating there are available for advance order now. If ordered before Oct 22 you get $100 off, just use order code GHOSTPO. Delivery is by end of November. I pulled the trigger and hope it is worth it.

Ordered a pair just today, scheduled for Dec. 18th delivery. Seems there is nothing to lose and if I can improve the bass response it is worth it IMHO.

Keen to hear peoples verdict on the Ghost underseat subs. Especially if you already have the B&O system. Feels strange to replace something from that system with relatively cheap parts. But I definitely feel the bass needs something more on the B&O.
