Standard audio rear speaker

marcm · 01-25-2007, 02:55 PM

Hi All,
I've been installing an Infinity Basslink into my E91. It fits perfectly in the cavity below the boot floor.

I spend hours routing line level cables to the head unit up front and tapped into the rear speakers, as you would if the bassbox is going in the rear. I have to tap into the speakers because the standard 6 speaker setup here in the UK is not the HiFi system the US has.

It seems as though the rear speakers has the bass stripped out as I am getting virtually sod all bass

. I know the system works as it was in my E46 and thumped well.

Can anyone confirm if the speakers do have the bass they cant handle filtered out ??

I will confirm at the weekend when I remove the head unit and move the taps onto the front speakers. Not ideal but if thats all I can do I'll have to live with it.

THanks
Marc

OK its confirmed... standard head unit filters out bass for the rear speakers.

If you are going to tap into the line level speakers use the fronts as they as also connected to the bass speakers under the seat.

The front speakers are the thicker wires, they must make them thick as they supposidly carry more wattage to drive the 4 speakers.

Hope this helps anyone else who is looking to do what I did.
