It sounds incredible in both sound,quality, exceptional midrange punch that is crisp, clean and hard. Also has nice crisp bass that thumps hatd.

I had jehnerts with this setup before in my last car and the xe200s are better at midbass and bass. They are truly an exact drop in pop speaker to down to stock. Connectors

Do you mean ETON B 195 NEO? The xe200 is the Jenhnert model.

Eton has two different drop-in models, the B-150 and B-195. Xe200 is the model number for the Jehnerts. Very confusing post...

I have the EPS/Individual Audio OEM amp which runs stock 7 ohm underseat woofers.

Would I be able to use either of the 4 ohm Jehnert XE200 or Rainbow IL-S8F BMW on the stock EPS/Individual Audio amp?

I absolutely do not wish to change the amp or add any amps to the current wiring, as the car is a daily/track dual duty car, and just want the simplest upgrade.

I really don't want to upgrade or change anything, and just want to swap in a plug and play under seat woofer, and hope the bass becomes clearer or more prominent.

Could someone advise me if the 4 ohm will be okay? I know the OEM Individual amp will definitely have to work harder, but I've heard of people running XE200 on it and not having any problems. Any advice/experience/suggestions will help.

Anyways, I wouldn't bother messing with the underseats if you are just wanting more bass. You'll get much more for your money by adding a trunk sub, and it would be less work to install. Here is what I would do with that budget. I'm assuming you have a ski pass. If you do you can face this forward and seal it up against the rear seat.

Technics harness

For a total of $385 not including the price of Technic's harness. With the harness you will still be under budget.

I get the amp, sub, and box. But why spend $71 on $20 worth of wire and a fuse holder? Go to lowes and buy what you need. Done.

In my search to find the best sounding sub upgrade for my vehicle, I ordered a wider selection which I will test side by side in my vehicle. Ultimately, I should be able to subjectively determine which speaker is the best. Over this weekend, I'll be testing the following:

BAVSound Ghost underseat sub (direct replacement)
Rockford Fosgate T3-BMW-SUB (direct replacement)
Earthquake SWS-8Xi (direct-ish replacement)
Pioneer TSSW2002D2 (generic 8" shallow sub)
Rockford Fosgate P3SD48 P3 Punch (generic 8" shallow sub)

I'll post my personal recommendations after I'm done testing...

Any updates?

The last post ignores the best one
The Jehnert xe 200 IMHO
To be objective it would be nice to have it
on the comparison list.
Also Gladens and xion , eton and rainbow.
Though I hear some of these may be rebranded
by there sellers.
A comparison of the doors sets would be nice to.

Just looked up the jenhert stuff. I like the pocket replacement with three 6.5" woofs. Keep the 4" and tweet. That would be excellent. Has anyone done this? How is their sound quality? Can you get the installation kit without the drivers and use another brand? For 8woofs, 2 mids, 2 tweets, and 2 finished door pocket kits, it looks very cheap at $1000 euros.

[Fundguy1]

Curious on any feedback on these door pocket replacements. I would think Dynavin headunit, focal drivers, jl audio amps, tweet, high mid, low mid/high bass, and a thumping 12" JL sub in the trunk passing through the ski pass would be a killer setup. Especially for a vert with the roof down.

[ctuna]

Talk to 6spdcoupe he's the rep for Jehnerts in the US.
Jehnerts and Morels are not as harsh as focals and
there 4 inchers play lower.
There are one or two members that have the Jehnert
panels.

Cool thx

Xe200 is the name of the jenhert model. I have confusion.

That's the one that replaces the woof under the seats. They also have a door kit as well. Tweet, 4"mid, and three 6.5" in a box that replaces the fold out door pocket and a 4th under the seat. The door box is sold separately. Be great for extra power for my vert.

There are definetly cheaper options.You can buy 4 gauge by the foot and get the ring terminals and fuse holder separately. Considering how much I've spent on audio equipment over the years $70 for a 4 gauge kit to my 6 channel amp wasn't a deal breaker. I have 0 gauge to my sub amp and I wanted the wires matching plus the ends came precrimped.
