the how and why of bass in your BMW

Fully 1/3rd of all recorded music is below 80Hz (this is called bass!) Almost no interior component speaker can reproduce sound below 80Hz without high levels of distortion (some CAN reach to around 60Hz, but that's really the lower limit). The cheap paper drivers BMW uses in their audio systems are no certainly no exception to this rule.

Why? High output bass production requires that a speaker physically moves a great deal of air relative to what's required for higher frequencies. This air movement is accomplished in either or both of the following two ways:

  • High Excursion: Excursion refers to how far a speaker can move in or out from its resting state. The smaller the speaker, the larger the amount of excursion required to produce bass output -- and vice versa. However, a small driver with high excursion is far less efficient than a larger driver with lower excursion (require TONS of power from the amplifier) and is very impractical in a car audio situation due to the space required in front of such a driver to accomodate the movement. (It's also difficult to design a very high excursion driver that remains accurate at the limits of its movement).

  • Large Cone Surface: As the cone surface area of a speaker increases, the more air the driver can move -- and the more efficient a driver becomes relative to a speaker with smaller cone surface area. However, the additional mass of such a driver requires more power and a more stout motor structure (the components that control the speakers) to keep the driver controlled and accurate.

Both solutions do require substantial power output from the amplifier driving them, but power can be expensive. For cost savings reasons, manufacturers will produce a larger coned driver out of lightweight material (i.e. paper) to minimize power requirements. Unfortunately, the resulting lightweight subwoofer is flimsy, and when combined with low power yields muddy, fuzzy bass at moderate volumes and distortion at high volumes. This is PRECISELY the case in BMW's premium systems equipped with a subwoofer.

And if you don't have the premium system, because your stock amp and speakers (and even high quality component speakers and an aftermarket amp) are small in size, share the same lightweight construction, and are low in power, you'll get the same fuzzy bass, just less of it.

And so, an effective, high power subwoofer solution is needed. But with the BSW t110.e39, it doesn't have to come with sacrifices.

Is this EVERYTHING I need?

Yes, we include absolutely every single component you need! There is absolutely nothing else you need to purchase to install and enjoy our system.

Can I install the t110.e39 Subwoofer System in my BMW myself?

Yes, you can! We ship every BSW Subwoofer System with extremely detailed installation instructions with photos and provide telephone support for the process as well. Because it's a simple installation (you're basically just tapping one audio signal and getting power from the battery - that's it!) with only the most basic of skills required, you can probably do it. However, if you feel unsure, we always recommend professional installation. Fortunately, because the installation instructions are so good and everything you need is included, if you don't feel comfortable with the installation process, any decent car audio shop can perform the installation for you without any difficulty whatsoever - probably for about $150 or less.

Will this work with my Standard or Premium Sound equipped 5 Series / M5? Will it make a big difference?

Yes, absolutely! In your BMW's audio system, even the Harman-Kardon systems, bass response is terrible. Because our t110.e39 Subwoofer System provides as little or as much additional bass response as you want, you'll see a VERY nice improvement in sound quality and low-end frequency response in your BMW, regardless of whether you have the most basic BMW audio system or the nicest.

This is just a single 10" subwoofer. Will I really be able to hear the bass?

Yes, definitely. Because we specialize in BMW's, our t110.e39 Subwoofer Systems are high-output and will absolutely produce enough output (volume) to really hear, feel, and truly enjoy! And because there's no separation from the cabin and cargo area, you'll experience the nuance and dynamic performance of this system.

What components are included in your t110.e39 Subwoofer System?

Click the "What's Included" tab above for an itemized list of the components used in this subwoofer system.

Do I need to replace my factory amplifier or head unit?

No, you don't. We include a new amplifier to power the subwoofer included in the t110.e39 Subwoofer System. If you have your factory head unit, we also include all the necessary wiring you need to integrate this system with your factory head unit. This system also works with all aftermarket head units as well!

Will the t110.e39 Subwoofer System be visible from within the car or require any permanent modifications?

No, our t110.e39 Subwoofer System is completely invisible within the car. Only you and your fellow listeners will know that you've upgraded your stereo since your car will maintain a 100% factory appearance within the vehicle. And in the trunk, because the BSW t110.e39 Subwoofer Enclosure used has a stealth, clean look, it's hard to tell there's a sub system in your trunk, either!

No permanent modifications are required.

Does the BSW t110.e39 Subwoofer System come with a warranty?

Yes, it sure does! The warranty is 2 years, parts only, on all components of the t110.e39 Subwoofer System. If you ever have any issues, we're just a phone call away. Please note that this warranty DOES NOT cover subwoofers blown due to abuse.

i have a 2003 540 touring, equipped with dsp, nav and 6-cd changer. the installation was NOT easy, but the results were absolutely outstanding. the quaility of the sound was strong, firm, certainly with a mean kick, but with no hissing nor distortion at all, even at levels way beyond those i would even or could even tolerate for any length of time short of testing purposes.

i highly HIGHLY recommend it to any wagon owner who has had the frustration of a wimpy sound system.

as a further note, i also upgraded all my other cabin speakers to the bsw rainbows.

for the money - an absolutely great value.

my full review is here...

I was always in search of a way to add a little bass to the otherwise weak stock stereo in my wagon but didnt want to sacrifice any cargo room...thats why I decided to purchase a wagon, right? Then BSW introduced their Sub kit and it was a no-brainer! The bass response is incredible for such a small kit and greatly exceeded my expectations. Additionally, its completely stealth so its hidden from prying eyes. I would recommend this kit to any touring owner looking for a cost-effective, simple upgrade to your E39 wagon!

This sub + amp package performs as stated: it rocks and thumps. It doesnt take up any cargo space (it takes the place of the Nokia factory sub). I mounted the accompany amp in the spare tire area. Tweaking the crossover point and gain control was easy but its certainly a subjective exercise. Now BSW needs to do the same thing for the 3-series Tourings (my other car is a 2002 325iT E46).

I got a 528 wagon with Nav and \premium\ sound. Always sounded a little thin. This sub makes the whole system come alive. Wow! Real bass. This sub rocks & makes the whole system rock. Super stealthy. Great design!!!!! Awesome!

Ordering was a breeze. Shipping was fast. Installation requires some digging around near the factory amp, but the instructions make it very clear what to cut and how to cut it. The improvement in sound quality over OEM is significant. Installation took about 90 minutes with two people.
