BMW subwoofer for car sound upgrades

Buy BMW subwoofers online cheaply at the Masori car audio online shop

Those looking for a powerful BMW subwoofer will find a wide range of products at Masori, specially designed for use in various BMW models. Many variants can also be optimally integrated into common vehicles from Audi, VW, SEAT, Opel, or Mercedes using plug & play solutions. In addition to subwoofers of all common designs, Masori also offers the appropriate accessories to upgrade your car audio system. Below, we present some installation tips, technical specifications, and various manufacturer highlights.

Different designs and power ratings for comprehensive bass performance

In the field of car hi-fi and car sound, the BMW subwoofer market offers solutions for every sound requirement. The main designs include:

• Closed enclosures: Compact dimensions and precise bass. Often equipped with an RMS power of 150–600 watts.
• Ventilated enclosures: Increased efficiency through bass reflex port, typically especially powerful in the frequency range of 30–80 Hz.
• Bandpass enclosure: Combines high durability (RMS up to 1000 watts) with powerful bass in the mid-frequency range.

When choosing the right size (e.g., 8 inch, 10 inch, or 12 inch), the available space in the trunk and your desired intensity of bass reproduction play an important role. With a correct impedance of 2 ohms or 4 ohms, you achieve a perfect match with amplifiers from Hifonics, MB Quart, or Steg. For high sound pressure levels (SPL), a subwoofer with a large magnet system and high mechanical durability is recommended.

Product portfolio of Audison, Focal, Axton, and other brands

Masori covers a wide range of subwoofers from renowned manufacturers. Some examples:

• Audison: Features models with mostly 200–500 watts RMS and impedances from 2 to 4 ohms. The diaphragms are made of particularly stiff materials for accurate bass reproduction.
• Focal: Supports frequencies of around 25–150 Hz, thanks to a polyglass or sandwich diaphragm with high stiffness for undistorted bass reproduction.
• Axton: Known for compact enclosures, easy integration, and effective deep bass with power handling between 300 and 600 watts RMS.
• Emphaser: Often built with a dual voice coil in the range of 2x2 ohms, allowing for flexible connection options.
• ESX: Model series with up to 800 watts RMS, some with large diaphragm area and robust surround for powerful yet low-distortion performance.
• ETON: Offers reinforced aluminum die-cast baskets and woofers with high efficiency and a wide frequency range.
• Ground Zero: WOOfers with a core focus on SPL, partly over 1000 watts RMS, massive magnet assemblies, and extremely stable baskets.
• Hifonics: Typical power handling in the range of 400–800 watts RMS, low-vibration cast basket, and broad resonance-free performance due to robust construction.
• MB Quart: Amplifiers and subwoofers are matched to each other, allowing the impedance to be used optimally. Ideal for clear bass and controlled dynamics.
• Morel: Delicate sound tuning through lightweight membranes, often 25–120 Hz frequency range and high voice coil stability.
• Musway: Compact BMW subwoofers with fitted enclosure, primarily for space-saving solutions in the 200–500 Watt RMS range.
• Rebec: Delicate construction and strong magnet. Often suitable for parallel connection, allowing flexible impedance selection.
• Bridge: Powerful voice coils (3–4 inches), very linear frequency response, in some cases designed for more than 700 watts RMS.

Installation and expansion options for powerful car sound

Anyone who wants to place a subwoofer enclosure in the car should pay attention to the following points:

• Positioning: A installation in the trunk or in the spare wheel well often provides ideal conditions for deep and distortion-free bass.
• Assembly material: Ensure rubber seals, matching screws, and any adapters for the BMW.
• Amplifier connection: Choose an impedance compatible with the subwoofer and use a suitable cable set (e.g., 20 mm² cross-section).
• Sound optimization: With the help of a separate crossover or a powerful amplifier (e.g., from MB Quart or Hifonics), unwanted frequency overlaps can be avoided.

For BMW drivers who value a very discreet installation solution, the flat under-seat subwoofers are suitable, especially in models like the BMW 3 Series or 5 Series, allowing for plug-and-play integration. With the help of special adapter cables or device-specific amplifiers, the installation can be easily carried out.

Relevant accessories for maximum performance

To greatly optimize the sound of your new subwoofer in your car audio system, you can choose from various accessories:

• Cable sets and distribution blocks: For example from Four Connect or Hifonics. Ensure a low-interference power supply.
• Amplifiers (Mono Blocks or 2-Channel): With 500–1000 watts RMS for powerful sound. Ideal complement for subwoofers with low efficiency.
• Insulation material: Reduces vibrations on doors and bodywork, enhancing bass definition. Suitable for BMW, Audi, or VW models.
• Crossovers, DSP units: Provide additional filter options (low-pass up to approx. 50–120 Hz) and precise sound tuning.

Especially with high-performance setup variants featuring multiple subwoofers (e.g., a 10-inch sub from Morel and a 12-inch sub from Emphaser), separate signal routing is helpful to optimally drive each voice coil. Users who listen to bass intensively should also consider reinforced batteries or capacitors to avoid power drops.

Plug&Play solutions and flexible configurations in focus

Many BMW subwoofers can also be used in other vehicles (e.g., Opel Astra or Mercedes A-Class) thanks to plug & play wiring. It is sufficient that the dimensions, connections, and impedance values match. Depending on the vehicle type, replacing the original factory system with an upgraded subwoofer is particularly easy, as the cutouts are often identical. For even more flexibility, we recommend:

• Series connection: Higher total impedance with multiple subwoofers, often ideal for stable-running amplifiers.
• Parallel connection: Lower impedance (e.g., 2 ohms) to draw more power from the amplifier.
• Bridge operation: If a multi-channel amplifier is used, unused channels can be bridged to drive additional subwoofers.

Why a BMW Subwoofer Upgrade is Worth It

• Strong low-frequency range in the frequency spectrum below 50 Hz for an intense listening experience.
• Sonically optimized designs for minimal distortion and the best possible music performance in every BMW or other brand.
• Individual tuning through a wide selection of brands such as Emphaser, Audison, ESX, or ETON.
• Professional support for installation and support upon request thanks to Masori.

Important Steps for a Successful Installation

After selecting a suitable subwoofer, you should plan the installation carefully. Especially with subwoofers that have high sound pressure, it is advisable to use additional damping mats at body-relevant points. Ensure a secure power supply with adequately sized power cables to avoid power losses. An appropriate fuse rating (e.g., 60–100 amperes) ensures that the amplifier is not underpowered.

Those who have special challenges or questions about compatibility with their car can contact the AI Chatbot oder contact our specialists. Especially with newer models from BMW, VW, or Seat, there are often complex original systems that should be checked in advance. This way, you ensure that the interaction between the amplifier, subwoofer, and head unit fits.
