As I read them, these settings are for Premium sound. Any such resource for those with HiFi sound, or those who upgrade to the BWS stage 1 + SW kit? |

Yep... Used Malek's finalised EQ settings. So far it seems that the base does really exist until I hit a certain volume which is annoying. I hope the break in will help...

Part of that is a byproduct of the stupid OEM processing that can't be fully defeated (hence the S-Volume to the lowest setting to minimize it).

Sweet! I really should try a traditional CD and see if that would make a difference.

XM - 64 to 96 kbps Pandora - 128 kbps iTunes (Store and default CD ripping format) - 256 kbps Spotify Premium - 256 or 320 kbps CD - 1411 kbps CD Ripped Lossless and Tidal (no loss in sound quality) - 700 kbps (average, could be more or less depending on the musical material) iTunes/Pandora/Spotify all sound horrible. I use Tidal (which is lossless CD quality), and download tracks to my phone and plug in via USB. Sounds very good.

After listening to just iTunes the last 2 days, I do hear a definite increase in volume, as OP stated. The subs really shine with the right music source |

I'm a little surprised some aren't seeing an improvement. I compared one Bavsound and one OEM and I could literally feel the difference with my hand. Here are my settings that I copied from one of the threads. Then I am plus 2 or 3 on the bass setting. |

Ok... So... a few more hours I to the ghost sub break in and I'm still not getting the same low-end bass I used to get from the OEM subs :-( any thoughts on whether I should persist or just rip them out and send them back?

I've listened to nothing but iTunes the past few days, and I am very impressed by the new subs. They really shine. Very tight and actually hit a lot harder than I expected. It's a great drop-in upgrade.

Really? Don't you notice a big gap when the volume is low? Also, the Bavsound sub doesn't seem to go as low as the OEM... Could this just be break-in?

What I did realize is the source of my music made a big difference. I normally listen to the radio and the sound quality between OEM and bav was barely noticeable at my normal listening volume. At higher volumes, I could hear a difference for certain songs. With iTunes however, the sound quality is significant across all songs. I still have to turn the volume up a bit, but not nearly as much as when the radio was the source to hear the quality difference. In regards to how low the bav subs go, it's clear the bav are much deeper in sound quality. As another member posted, I can even feel my seat vibrating now. I'm wondering if your pair is defective somehow |

I'm beginning to think the same thing... I do get more vibration through the seat but is still doesn't sound as low... Hmm... I'm hoping the break in period will help in terms of more cone travel / air movement.

The poor output at low volumes is a byproduct of the shitty S-Vol stuff you can't disable.
Also, you can thank the "loudness war" for the terrible quality of modern music.

In my opinion, I think the OEM woofers hit lower. But with the ghost subs, it improves a lot on clarity. The bass will hit more tighter and you can play it louder without it distorting the sound compared to the OEM. I also think, the EQ settings need to be set more convervatively. A lot of people like Maleks settings but I always felt they were set too high and overdriving the EPS speakers.

Can you share what your EQ settings are? I've been using Malek's and open to trying other settings |

Music settings are all subjective, everyone has different ears and how they like they're music to sound. Here are my settings. I do run a 12" subwoofer in the trunk with a seperate bass control so I have the eq set to balance it out with the trunk sub. The bass and treble you can set to your preferences, right now I have mine set at 0 treble and +2 on bass. My speakers have broken in a bit more and sounding even cleaner then when I first got them. Still happy with the ghost woofers.
