09 E90 Hifi Sub/Amp install. Opinions on my choice?
Hey everyone, I have an 09 E90 with Hifi system. Buddy of mine just did his system today and I'm convinced but would really like opinions. Looking to run the following:
-2x Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1000F -1x kenwood Excelon XR-1S amp -1x AudioControl LC2i as my LOC What do you guys think? Anything better for the price? That's the price range I would like to stay in. Thanks |

For less than 500 you can get technics harness and a JL Audio xd600/6 and do it yourself for an hours work it will get louder and clearer
From there you can just change the fronts out if your needing more or add a sub |

The whole Hi Fi system is weak .
The whole Hi Fi system is weak .
So adding a sub to a weak system gets you a weak system with a sub. But that's what many want these days. There are many good systems listed in the Hi Fi section of this thread http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=641323 By the way you never did state the price. |

Settled on avoiding shallow mounts and going with either a single jl 12w3v3, or 2 (maybe 1) jl 10w3v3. As for an amp, not sure what to run so that's where I'm at right now. Plan on making a modified DIY/making custom box. Last edited by hasta la pasta 27; 02-09-2013 at 04:55 PM.. |

Done some research and have my eye on soundqubed(formerly audioque) q1-1200d amp.
http://www.soundqubed.com/Q1-1200D-Amplifier_p_30.html Has great reviews and a good price. Any thoughts? |

audioque made good subs but i would take a sundown amp over audioque any day.
here's a link to a sundown 1000: http://www.woofersetc.com/p-9255-saz...amplifier.aspx i also recall that amp being bench tested at roughly 1500rms as for the sub, i like jl but they tend to be overpriced. look into image dynamics, i think they would out perform jl in sound quality |

Looks like 1 IDQ 12 in a sealed box will fulfill everything I was looking for. Is the LOC still necessary? |

Hi,
New to the forum, Is Technic stilling selling the Harness. Is pm the only way to get a hold of him? I don't seem to have enough Posts to pm. I Traded from a 2007 530xi to a 2011 328i. The 530 had logic 7, the328i has HiFi. I thought Logic 7 was mediocre, but is the HiFi is horrible! I like the idea of just upgrading the Amp as a first step. |

Alright so I'm getting ready to start building the system but I have 2 options: 2 ID 10's or a single IDQ 12. As far as the ohms, I'm not sure with the SAZ-1000D so input would be great. I will be building the box my self along with a beauty panel. All help appreciated guys

There is no need for a LOC if that Kenwood amp accepts balanced-inputs. Contact Kenwood.[/QUOTE] Not going that route anymore. Im going to be using the Sundown SAZ-1000D |
