Because this is my second M5, and I’ve had a few (warranty covered) failures, I’ve done the install/uninstall process nearly a dozen times. It’s a little tricky the first time — it’s not you.

Coming back to this thread again. After six weeks of the best sound I’ve had in an M5 (that didn’t have BW), today, at least one of the BavSound woofers is no longer working. I know this means the other one biting the dust is just around the corner.
As mentioned previously in this thread, when I received this replacement set, Bavsound (very nicely) told me that they would no longer be able to provide warranty replacements and that I could receive a full refund, or, in the alternative, one last final set. I opted for the final set because I wanted a quick solution and I thoughts I’d get a few months out of them at least. I did not even get that. I’ve maintained this whole time their customer service is fantastic and I still stand by that. And the product, when it works, and once it’s meshed with the car’s whole system, sounds amazing — especially given its price. I’m looking at different options for direct replacements now. Will come back to the thread when I’ve made a decision and post what I go with. I’ve asked this before but I’ll ask again. Anyone else having failure on the Ghost under seat kit?

Morel makes a BMW underseat woofer that’s is better than the BavSound. I know one of the top install shops in the country uses these when they do BMW upgrades.
Unfortunately, the BMW speaker locations are not very good for sound quality, or for upgrading to aftermarket gear. Mercedes is doing a far better job in the audio realm. They are using infinite baffle midbass drivers in the firewall now. Fantastic location and easy to upgrade. |

Thanks for letting me pick your brain. You obviously know way more about this than I do.

I have not heard the Morel but I know a very good installer who uses them in client cars. He would not use them if he did not like them.

So far so good with mine - almost a year 🤞. Very happy with sound of both kits…

Jus to note - for some the bass cutting out might not be the speakers.
There is a known issue with some BMW amps that need replacing https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1786245 |

ramparts, I was going to point you to this thread in relation to subwoofer discussion in the other thread.
Looks like you got here before me.

I can’t seem to find a single Morel BMW subwoofer that has a connector or size for anything other than the HK system and it’s enclosure. I don’t see anything they make that would work with BW.

UglyBuzzard, haven’t seen you around much lately, but do you happen to know if your Ghost is 8 ohm?
