Premium Sound System
I took delivery of my X3 yesterday. So far I am very happy with the car. It is a beauty inside out. I went to a restaurant last nite and saw quite a few people checking out the car at the parking lot. Yeah my friends and I sat at the patio to keep an eye on the car so we witnessed everything. haha. I know I am crazy!!
One question: I got the premium sound system option. How do I verify that it is installed? I counted the number of speakers... 4 at the front doors, 4 at the rear doors, 2 at the trunk, and 1 on the dash. So that's 9 in total. But shouldn't it be 16 in total? Thank!! |

You have two speakers under the seats (subwoofers). Each other site has two speakers (wooker/midrange + tweeter). So, 4 doors + two pillars + center = 7*2=14 + 2 subs = 16. Also, you should have a surround option in the sound TONE settings. |

I have the premium/professional sound system and it is absolutely with the extra you pay. It's perfect for the SUV with the image and the sound stage just like my individual system in my ///3. If you like your music it is a must have option. I have the same setting for the amp on both cars.

I am impressed with the sound so far. I adjusted the tune according to one of the posts on here and increased the bass (+3) and treble (+4). The sound is much more 3 dimensional (if that make sense) than my 2008 328i. And I am sure it will get even better after the break-in period. I highly recommend it!!

sounds awesome all of the time, pre and post break in. there is really no "break in" with respect to silicon based amplifiers and paper/poly speakers. sound is subjective. you either like it or dislike it. Mamma likes Premium Sound!

It amazes me when I get into a rental and people have the setting cranked up, even beyond this. All your doing is allowing for more oppurtunities for distortion. |

I have Premium sound and I'm not impressed either. I traded in my 2006 ML350 with had Haman Kardon premium sound and I LOVED it. I'm beginning to miss my Benz right now.

Tweaking the Logic 7 Premium Sound
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I decided to break down and finally buy a Radio Shack Sound Meter. I ran a CD frequency sweep through the Premium Sound System and found some surprising measurements. First the bass output is below 30Hz. Second the higher frequency roll off begins after 2000 Hz. Personally I like the surround off. I believe that there is greater clarity which leads to greater instrument separation, better sound staging and more "air". So based on my measurements I did the following changes to smooth out the curve. Surround Off Treble +2 Equilizer 100 Hz +2 200 Hz -2 500, 1000, 2000 Hz no change 5000 Hz +2 10000 Hz -1 The system probably needs at least 100hrs to break in. So these could change. Already the treble is starting to smooth out. I did increase the bass +2 put that's subjective. Update=Bass at 0 |
