Car Forum / BMW Cars / May 2006e39 subwoofer
There is a subwoofer Hanes in the trunk of my e39 (530d touring), it's written 2x4 ohm but nothing else. Does anybody knows how many watts it is? Thanks Claudio > There is a subwoofer Hanes in the trunk of my e39 (530d touring), it's > written 2x4 ohm but nothing else. > Does anybody knows how many watts it is? > Thanks Claudio Oh dear - how to down-class a decent car into the world of Corsas and Nova's How is that down classing? The audio in my BMW sucked until I added a small sub in the trunk to fill in the bottom end. I even had the premium sound package! BMW's are notorious for their poor sound systems, a sub can be a life saver and does not necessarily mean thump, thump thump down the road. >> There is a subwoofer Hanes in the trunk of my e39 (530d touring), it's >> written 2x4 ohm but nothing else. >> Does anybody knows how many watts it is? >> Thanks Claudio > Oh dear - how to down-class a decent car into the world of Corsas and > Nova's I agree..standard system is truly awful. It is possible to appreciate decent soudn as well as decent cars. No idea on the original question though. > How is that down classing?

I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from. true, but thankfully the e39's are so well insulated, you have a hard enough time getting the bass into the attached passenger cabin - let alone eminating from the boot area to the rest of the world! I've got a 10" sub in a sealed box in my e39 and whilst it's adequately loud inside the car, outside, you don;t really hear it. Sure, you can hear the low notes a bit from outside the car, as you'd expect with low frequency sounds, but it's certainly not rude-boy loud....and there's nothing vibrating itself off the car either, which also helps it be less noticeable from outside the car! ...but anything about my question? Ok, i can agree this sub isn't a real sub but that it is. Even i'd like to add my Beyma b100 15'' 8 ohm but where? And then how many ampli should i add? I need room in my trunk. So that i'm looking for informations about that awful sub.. :)) Bye, Claudio My local dealer told me it's 100w. > My local dealer told me it's 100w. Its actually approx 10W RMS and pathetic ! Nick >> My local dealer told me it's 100w. > > Its actually approx 10W RMS and pathetic ! > > Nick Are you sure? So that i'd risk to burn it. Now it's really pathetic, it's the same if it wouldn't be. Could you suggest me some ideas about a sub in the e39 trunk using the same place in the right side? Thanks Claudio >>> My local dealer told me it's 100w. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > same place in the right side? > Thanks Claudio Yes - mine was a double-coiled item, made by Nokia(!) that looks like it cost about 10 Euros at a cheap shop... and I had paid some 600 Euros for the Premium sound package with 11 speakers - worst money I ever spent. The BMW sound systems as stock are / were very bad and my suggestion is to spend any extra money with an aftermarket sound shop to improve things. 600 Euros should go quite a long way ! Burn out the "sub woofer" - best thing for it - mine was a 4" (10 cm) item in a plastic box - what a joke ! Are you listening yet, BMW ! Nick Thanks Nick! I'll see what i can do. Claudio |
