HIFI audio system upgrade recommendations !
Hey guys !
I was planning on upgrading my HIFI system on my 08 e92 m3. I was planning on getting the JL XD600/6 cause i heard its the easiest route and technics harness. I would also need door speakers, under seat speakers, and tweeters. Can you guys recommend the best speakers for the right price. Thanks alot ! |

It depends on what your budget is. The depth of the door speakers is very important in the coupe since there is a very limited amount of depth (39mm). If you are looking to do the installation yourself then i would recommend talking to Ken at Musicar Northwest (they are a vendor on the forum). If you want to have it installed then you should get i touch with Don at Unexpected Creations in Edison NJ.

I'm in the middle of gathering the parts to upgrade my Hi-fi system, I'm using Digital Designs SS5 amp, Technic harness, Earthquake SWS8 under-seat woofers, Hybrid Audio mids & tweets, also adding a trunk sub using 2 Digital designs tens in a custom made box. powered by a Digital designs M1c The under-seat subs need spacers which i'm having a hard time finding.

Just search user Technic and you'll find some good threads in regards to this.

Ok I'm planning on doing my own install.
which sws8? SWS-8 or SWS-8xi. I think one is a 4ohm and other is 2. I'm sticking to PnP, so either MusicarNW or OEM enhanced premium. Which would be better ? |

No reason to upgrade from HiFi to EP. Just get the harness and use aftermarket amps.

Does technic have access to the sub spacers? Yes the SWSXi are 2 ohm, really made for direct replacement of the factory eps subs without changing the stock amp. If your going with the 600/6 you can use either the 2 or 4 ohm as the amp will work with both. But it makes 100watts at 2 ohms & 75 watts at 4ohms or 200 watts mono at 4 ohm. I would buy the swsxi 2 ohm if I were you, you'll get the most power in stereo and are able to wire them in series for a 4 ohm mono load if you go mono

As far as digital amps are concerned, nowadays they are just as good if not better then AB or A amps. I have listened to tons of systems with digital amps and they sound amazing! One was an 335 that had Audison and switched to DD sounded great + they do it efficiently, which is crucial on a vehicle like the M3 or any new car that has huge electrical systems run by computers.
