BMW E46 Sedan Not much bass in cabin


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello everyone,

I have a e46 sedan, and im not getting much bass inside my cabin, I dont have fold down seats or a armrest. I removed the back speakers and it got louder but still not that great.

Im running 2 Alpine type-r SWR12D2 and a Hifonics BRZ1600D.1d

Anyway to get more bass inside these cars ?

Thanks in advance !

u probably have a steel plate behind the back seat.. (like in my E39) ..

like Kranny said.. Port through the rear deck or cut the steel and port through armrest..

sometimes Loud is NOT pretty

Sounds like its safe to go ahead and bend that ass over.

Yeah there is a steel plate behind, and I have no armrest :S

I removed the speakers to make to holes so a little more bass can come in !

I was thinking maybe adding ports directly to these holes from the box !

I ported my rear deck with good results but my seats drop down too.

Check out user "Rogue's" E46 build.

He installed a 12" in his rear deck with some massive ports...very impressive.

Time for a 4th order bandpass box firing through the speaker holes.

Get a design from a reputable box designer. There are a few good experts on this forum. Ask for a quote.

I was talking about buying a design from RAM-design, or others.

It's cheap and efficient ! But you build it yourself.

Some build and ship, but I don't know who. Make a new topic asking for what you want or need.
