It should help a bit and also you’ll be less off axis n the drivers side. It should help. You may also get less direct window reflection from the passenger side tweeter bouncing off the drivers side window.
This is what a raw sweep looked like on my tweeters and door mid bass before any eq...
Sure,
It’s actually a function and design of BMW tweeter mount. They aim for a mid point at ear height mid way between drivers and passenger seat in the front and it’s similar in for the rear door tweeter. So you do end up listening to them slightly off axis which is quite good for where they...
Next stage is tuning the DSP , and this is where I admit I’m a novice. My experience with DSPs to date has really been setting speaker gains , basic time alignment and running passive component speakers and a sub.
Nothing like jumping in boots and all and going to a three way active front stage...
Cheers , The F80 is quite a fun car , but like you I wasn’t a fan of the fake engine noise coming via the audio system. At least yours had HK , base audio isn’t far off a budget car sound system. It did take me a few months of reading BMW tech articles and reading up on the Most audio bus...
I think I’m probably taking the install for granted compared to pervious installation. Previous build took quite some time as had two amps, dsp, audio feeds from everything. I modified 3 of the BMW factory infotainment modules and built a media centre ( Kodi ) into the CD stacker.
In many...
Next part was coding the BMW infotainment system to use the Mobridge amp rather than using analog 4 channel amp and synthetic engine sound module.
I brought a Wi-Fi OBDII dongle and an iPhone app called BimmerCode. The put the app into expert mode and coded the BMW to use the Most digital...
Next was mounting speakers into doors and adding sound deadening. The rear factory door cards didn’t have tweeter mounts and the front doors lacked a pillar mounts.
I had a dilemma with the M3 with sound treatment. I didn’t want to go overboard as part of its character is the noise it makes...
Decided to build a parallel speaker wiring loom. The factory harness didn’t have enough wires to run active three way front stage and whilst it could have been augmented decided leave it as is so easier to revert to standard when the car is sold.
I brought some silver plated OFC cable, BMW door...
Amplifier choice was a process of elimination. Short list wants were Most25 adapters, DSP , at least 60 watts or doors, 100 watts on underseat woofers , 300 plus on Sub whilst trying to keep it hidden. Mobridge had a all in amplifier. A Most25 8.1.1 amplifier.
So specs were
Most25 digital fibre...
After 11 years it was time to replace my 2001 e46 m3 ( build below )
This time around I purchased a 2016 F80 M3. It was a UK import and a bit of an odd spec. Had all the look faster bits , connected office, lane control , self park , but a base audio amp & speakers. So 25w x4 amplifier /...
Been enjoying reading various reviews and people’s home theatre threads and have been learning heaps.
Been into audio systems from an early age and built my first Kit set amp and system at the age of 13. Have a few systems , a two channel analogue system in lounge consisting of kenwood...
