The first step in any stereo upgrade is to identify the factory system. Upon first glance, the system seemed to use a traditional BMW speaker kit. This is great news as our team has many years of upgrading BMWs for all types of clients. But upon further inspection, we realized the system did not incorporate the underseat 8-inch mid-bass drivers. Without these mid-bass drivers, the door speakers would have a hard time reproducing the lower end spectrum of your favorite song. We needed to find a solution.
While the factory 6×9 in the rear did help the situation, we do not have a 6×9-inch replacement that would meet our standards in terms of sound quality and performance. So we opted to consult with the customer on our findings and decided to build a custom subwoofer enclosure in the front passenger foot area. This subwoofer and enclosure design we put together would provide the low-end response we were looking for and also would eliminate the need for traditional mid-bass drivers under the seat.
The end result is a mix of creativity along with the drive to deliver perfection. From removing the rear window to incorporating an upfront subwoofer system, these were not a spur of the moment guesses. This platform has its own unique challenges, but a client that owns a BMW i8 is already unique. They love the experience that the car provides and incorporating less conventional stereo upgrades we believe goes well with this amazing vehicle.
