Individual Audio System
Any1 else whos got the individual audio system feeling as if it doesnt quite live upto expectations???
Ive had my e92 for just over a year now and have heard the Logic 7 system in an e60, e63 and e92 and find they are much deeper in bass than my e92. I would have thought paying nearly twice as much for the Indi. system over L7 wud not only improve clarity but also prove to be more punchy in lower frequencies... Looking at the difference in amplifier parts (based upon generic schematics on Realoem) the Indi. Amplifier is a fair bit smaller than the L7... I wud have thought that considering it states the Indi. amp has more power it shud effectively be larger than the L7 one? Can any1 confirm reasons why the Indi. system in a bit 'weak' when the specs say otherwise? Thanks in advance |

And even when the Individual Audio is supposed to be more than twice in power than the L7 I also feel that something was missed in the way to the car... but only at low volume. At high volume there's no comparison between the Individual Audio and the L7, the Individual Audio is clearer, louder and more defined than the L7. Which I think that it is the purpose, after all, but it is something that not too many people will be able to appreciate unless they are constantly blasting music in the car. That's one of the two failures of the Individual Audio for me, the other is the saturated DIRAC processing done to the music, which muffles the voices making them sound like whoever is singing have a piece of cloth in their mouth. |

the oem l7 is... 2ohms... and indi audio is... 4? i will be running a/d/s stuff so i'll be fine. i was just thinking that... since l7 and indi uses fiber... i will get audio from indi amp without coding per say.. or is the system smart enough to know that the indi amp does't belong there and shut down...

Individual Audio speakers are 4ohms, woofers are 7ohms. Woofers less than 7ohms will overheat the OEM amp. |
