OK well all know that we love our bmw 5 series very much, and those of us who are not fortunate to have the logic 7 soundsystem all know that bass response in our bmws SUCK.... some of you dudes out there have some complicated ways of getting the subwoofers underneath the seat to pump out more bass, but thats just too.... complicated... can anyone help me get MORE BASS in my bmw cabin.... please feel free to email me at acebmw5@yahoo.com

with a 200-300W amp will solve lack-of-bass problem. I did it on my previous E60 and some members from SoCal meet said that "no wonder it sounds good"

I replaced my sub with sws-8, and power them with Infinity 6-ch amp.
I was thinking about pioneer, but does it have the same base fitting to the current base? Probably not.

SWS-8 is about $169 to $189 (I don't really remember) each, and 6-ch Infinity amp is around $350. Labor was free (me). Wiring is about $50.
You don't have to remove front seat. Just loosen all four screws and tint it toward the back.

Does the L7 sound system have this issue? I'm thinking of upgrading my 530 to 550 soon, and I'm wondering if getting the L7 system is worthwhile.
