I have to wonder why BMW would put such a crapy amp on these speakers if they can sound as good as they do with a little power behind them...  I know, I know, this is the "stock" system in the US but we aren't talking about a VW here... When I worked for a high end boat manufacturer our stock stereos always sounded better than the upgrades most other companies put in their boats. That's what a premium brand does!!! 
I'm curious... When I first replaced my CCC, before I programed everything for my car there was actually a 6 or 8 (can't remember) channel equalizer that showed up under the audio settings. Once I reprogrammed the CCC it only has treble and bass adjustments. Does anyone know a way to get the EQ back?
Thanks for all the input!!! |
Why is is bad? Because they wanted to sell the Logic 7 upgrade!
Your CCC was probably coded for a car with Logic 7 - no way to get that back unless you retrofit the L7 amp as well.
Not sure what amp you’re using, but another really nice upgrade are the Individual Audio speakers. Proper crossover network, kevlar mids, silk dome tweeters. Really nice components.
