Bavsound Review

[Tbonem3]

I hear you. I've always done custom setups, but with my new e90 and the more challenging electrical/audio system, I'm opting to stay as OEM as possible. I'm using bavsound speakers in that one, but still an aftermarket amplifier as that is the most crucial upgrade you can make - even the mediocre factory speakers will sound quite good when they have access to 50w+ rms per channel.

The E46 is much easier to modify. You can easy steal the wiring you need from the harness or find a harness conversion that will give you the RCAs and speaker wires you need to work with a 4 channel amplifier.

I don't like class D amps, but they're more efficient and much smaller, and you'd be able to put one in the factory location easily for that OE look. I'm sticking with my favorite class a/b, so mine won't be as well hidden.

Now amplify the speakers properly!

That's definitely the plan, I just love that OEM look and trying to find a good simplistic setup 😅

I have to say, I was very skeptical installing this setup due to the fact wiring is something I am not really familiar with and was quite worried about taking my whole rear interior out, but it was a breeze of a installation. Instructions were really easy to understand and the overall quality of the product made it a fun install. Regarding the product, I absolutely love it, I originally had the factory Harman Kardon setup but wanted a bit more base and with a bit more clear sound and they delivered everything I wanted. Overall I am very pleased with the install and up next is a new head unit!
