UPGRADING FACTORY SUBS TO EARTHQUAKE SWS-8XI on my BMW F10 535i

- I bought these Earthquake SWS-8XI used from a member on the forums. They replace the factory subwoofers that are under the front seats on most F-chassis BMW.
I have the S677 HiFi Professional DSP sound system. So although these Earthquakes were an upgrade from my subs, the improvement would be even more noticeable by someone with the base HiFi system (option S677).

My life would be less expensive if I stopped watching YT. Nice video though.
I 100 percent feel your pain on that! 😂
Awesome! I may need to look into this.
Im liking them!
did you do the 2 ohm models or the 4 ohm? my F34 has the HK system in it now and both factory subs are clappin cheeks
Oh nooo! Lol. These that I picked up are the 2 ohm versions
Are these the 2ohm or 4ohm models? Going to order a set just wanted to know which would sound better with my HK system
These -XI are 2Ohm. I THINK the non-XI are 4Ohm
do you have standard hifi or top-hifi(harmon kardon) sound?
Option S677, “Top HiFi with Professional DSP”
My trailblazer has a pair of bose subs in the front doors, designed just like these and heavily considering them. I would definitely feed them rated rms power AND use foam baffles/buckets if I went this way. I just cant tell if Its worth going this route , or simply just get a traditional Sub box/amp in the back. Any thoughts?
The sub box in the back will be the best at cresting that low down bass you want. HOWEVER, it comes at the cost of the space it takes up. A “truck box” with a 12” sub is quite narrow in depth and can take up minimal space against the back seat ( or alternatively, mount it length wise if you frequently carry long items that require you to drop the back seats).
@@turbospool TY much, think im gonna try the slim earthquakes, if it aint enough, theyll go on normal bass duty with a box out back doing the heavy lifting. Cheers!
Do you think these or the Harmon subwoofers would sound better?
good question, but I would not know as I've never sat in an F10 with the HK system
My X5 is also a Decepticon 😈
Bahahah. All hail Megatron!!! Lolol awesome dude!
@@turbospool I’ve been checking out more of your videos and nice to see that you have bimmerhaus intake- I have yet to install one on mine and definitely love to hear some feedback… I’m also planning to install the earthquakes 🤙🏼
@@stevelibby3 I love my intake! Grant Johnson and I were the testers of the first prototypes. The dyno numbers he posts are from my car lol. Im still very happy with it. You’ll enjoy it! And also the subs!
@@turbospool definitely looking forward to it and also upgrading my turbo… She’s really going to Starscream then! 🤙🏼
..under passenger seat too?
Yes
@@turbospool thank you very much for answer❤️👍
@@C63V8 i wasn’t clear what you were asking. Yes, this is a pair, one under each front seat. Same process for both sides. Hope that answers your question
@@turbospool yes sir, thank you a lot,,great videos btw👍
Put these in my E64. Complete different set up. Now my entire back side panels rattle like the speakers are blown. The speakers rub against the panels bc you cant use the "horn" surrounding the factory sub. It is just a hassle. Under the seat, these work. Convertible models like mine? Just don't. Zero vids or instructions or help on the Convertibles. 😂 now i see why.
Hey we all live and learn! 😂 happy new year
Happy New Year, bro! We all appreciate your work and content in the BMW community.
