Hi all
Purchased myself an 06 Z4M Coupe with DSP and I love it! ...but I don't love the sound system, coming from an Audi with B&O is a massive shock, wonder if anyone has any ideas to help...
Generally i'm not happy with the subs, i can appreciate that they are small and the nature of the size is limited with regards to how low they go but generally the overall bass of the subs is muddy and if they do go low they sound shite!
Is there any tips for upgrading? Been thinking of dynamatting the hell out of the box but not sure how much better that will make them..
I've seen that JL Audio do some 6.5" 8ohm subs and was wondering whether they would would work with the existing Amp even thou the Carver's are 10 ohm and more importantly would it sound better!?
Any ideas....

Re: Upgrading the Carver Subwoofers
Have you played with the settings? Sounds basic, but it can make all the difference....
There are a few threads on the sounds settings. Can't think of any threads specifically relating to updatign the woofers only, without incurring significant expense

Yeah, I've played around with all the settings until my finger was raw! Lol. I've got the settings just right but the bass from the subs isn't right at all.
I have noticed that the subs take some time to warm up so I'm thinking that there just old but still wOuld like to change them
