Yes $150 for both plus paypal fees. There's nothing wrong with them. I tested both of them. I'm looking into buying a cpo M5 and I don't want to do any more mods on my e92.

I'm more than game, I've been wanting to do this since last summer! lol

I'm just stuck on what impedence level I should go with for the subs, and what amp I should use to power them (based on wether I go 2 or 4 ohm).

LuvMyRide · 04-16-2009, 08:19 PM

So whats the deal?? we all have stock subs below or seats???? is that why the bass sounds better than the old systems???

Also can you explain to me "Direct replacemnt" direct to where????

Im a producer/dj and these are a must have!!!

Taxvictim · 04-17-2009, 02:41 PM

LuvMyRide, if you have a stock E90 sound system (whether the basic Hifi or the Logic 7 system), then you have a subwoofer under each front seat. They are 2 ohm speakers. If you buy the SWS 8xi shallow mount speakers (above), they are also 2 ohm, and they fit directly into the sub enclosure under your seat. You need a big Torx driver/socket to remove the seat (size 50?), plus a small Phillips head screw driver, plus a small Torx head driver to then remove the grill that covers the sub, then the subwoofer itself. Remove your stock sub. The speaker wire connects with a small plug to the stock unit, so you have to cut and strip the speaker wire. Before installation, you should connect a decent length of speaker wire to the SWS speaker terminals, then attach those wires to the stock wires in the car. Screw down the speaker, replace the grill. Test the connection, then replace the seat.

I didn't even have to remove the seat from the car, I just leaned it way back and held it up on a plastic jug while working on the speaker.

If you get the SWS 4 ohm speakers (which are more versatile for later amp changes), they are not as shallow, so you have to build a spacer to hold them up a little or they will hit the bottom of the sub enclosure.

All this said, the added oomph of just the SWS subs wasn't enough, so on the advice of folks here, I'm getting a new amp (Alpine PDX-5) and sub box installed next week, plus some new speakers. The underseat subs will be replaced with the 6.5" midrange drivers from a 3 way component set. I'll post a review of the whole thing when done.
