just a crazy guess and all, but judging by the name of "BAVSOUND - BMW HiFi Logic7 Underseat Woofer", I would say it might possibly just maybe be....under the seat.

Install should be easy. Remove the 2 front seats, remove 2 sub covers, and replace. I saved some sound deadening material from the Stage 1 install in case the sub will need it.

That's an impressive subwoofer design to maximize excursion. FYI, I heard back from BAVSOUND and am aware that JNoSol is working with BAVSOUND as well. Can anyone confirm if you had issues *after* removing the rubber boot around the center channel speaker or did you mistakenly skip this step?
"I've done 20 or so F30/80 chassis cars at the shop here in LA and never had these issues, although I am seeing where a couple of guys have found the screws to be a bit too short. I suspect, however, that they're not removing the rubber boot from the midrange as instructed (it adds a bit of depth/width to the motor structure, but is purely aesthetic)... Alas, we may look further into this if we start to hear more about it, although with over 1,000 F30 kits sold last year and us never hearing about the screws being too short I'm not sure it's too big of an issue... Rock on!"

The screw is long enough, but you cannot over tighten. Just snug them in. I didn't buy longer screws for mine. It would be "nice" if they come with longer screws. "#2 Center speaker: Remove the rubber ring around the magnet or it will not fit. You'll need the spacer that comes with it. Don't over tighten the screw or you'll strip it." |

"Thanks, Jason. I posted your response on the forum and it appears that the screws are long enough as long as one is *very* careful with just "snugging" them down. However, many confirmed that they did remove the rubber boot and still found the center channel screws to be a bit temperamental versus the other speakers/screws due to the use of the bracket. Can you provide the dimensions of the screw so that I can purchase some prior to me installing the system?"

I got a ton left over.. Maybe I didn't use enough?!?! haha if it requires the removal of seats... Time to put this on the back burner until I save enough for Recaro seats and the sub.

LOL. Our OEM seats are really nice. It takes 10min to remove the seats, I don't take the seat belts out. Just rock the seat back after the bolts are removed and there should be enough room to work on the sub.

Only thing I would worry about with the seats is if there are airbag connections. My experience is that if you unplug any of those connections while there is power (battery still attached), you will get an airbag error. This is not BMW specific, just on other cars I have dealt with.

I back-ordered BAVSOUND Stage 1 for HK. Waiting on subwoofer options.
Why didn't BMW offer a better "Individual Audio" option like they did on the E92 M3? Also... anyone know what kind of amp we have on the new M3/M4? |

"Harman Kardon Logic 7 Surround Sound System. Featuring 16-speakers and a600-watt DSP amplifier, the system fills the entire cabin with vibrant, concert-hall sounds." You don't need a new amp with BavSound Stage 1. 99% of their customers will not upgrade the amp.

I also have the hk bav upgrade and looking for a sub option, just no car yet...
Anyone ever hear of these guys? http://musicarnw.com/oe-look-subwoof...-sedan-f30f80/ Personally I'd just like to replace the underseat subs. Found these, pioneers look great but probably not a direct fit to the 4 oem holes, focal's are $$$. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...nt/TS-SW2002D2 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-8X2f0Ol...IFBMW-SUB.html |

Just signed up! I saw they were doing something but it's hard to upgrade everything and leave the 2 underseats subs alone... OCD... Do you (or anyone) know if these focal's fit? or the specs of the oem sub? ** is the bav sub going to be in the trunk? Last edited by JacobF80; 01-10-2015 at 11:20 AM.. Reason: add comment |

The only thing preventing me from doing this is finding a reputable shop in Houston to install it without screwing my car up or leaving rattles in my door.
Im not a DIY guy so it's out of the question to do it on my own - I am incapable |
