I am VERY happy with the current HK (2002 330i / Feb. build).
If you boost the treble about 3 clicks and the bass 1 or 2 and the Front/Rear fader 1 or 2 towards the front, you can get a decent sound at a fairly high volume.
Of course if you listen to rap (yuk), this would not be anywhere nears loud enough.

I have a 325i loaner today, Feb production and HK. I purposely ran it through some hard tests on the way to work. No rattles, etc. what so ever. And there is definately a lot more bass then in the wagon
I like the ambience better in the wagon though

You'll never get proper HK bass in the wagon cause there aren't separate subs in a box. Just bigger drivers in the stock locations.PM 325xiT said:I have a 325i loaner today, Feb production and HK.

OTOH if you want LOTSA bass in a wagon, it'll hold a bigger box than any sedan. :lmao:

I noticed the other day when I had to run back into the garage when leaving that the bass response was actually better outside standing by the rear wheel well (their answer to a sub enclosure):tsk:I don't want to give up a lot of space in the back or my old JL W0's would already be in there. Have you finished up any thing in the back of your wagon yet? I'm still thinking spare wheel well myself:dunno:

I've put the Morel 6.5s in but still haven't put in the amp, so it sounds like crap running off the stocker. I'm waiting on a friend of mine to gather up some junker harnesses so I can assemble one to fit that funky amp connector.PM 325xiT said:
I'm looking at the spare tire compartment too but wanna find a way to preserve the spare. I'm wondering if the JL Stealthboxes made for VWs might work...
I've set mine up pretty much the same way (always have with every system) and most music sounds pretty good.unleasHell said:
Music with lots of "electronic" sound in it (like No Doubt's last album) sounds the best.
Music with accoustic guitar in it sounds the worst. The "twang" of the accoustic guitar rattles my front speakers something fierce.
My car was built in March and I picked it up in mid-April.
No, they haven't fixed it. I suspect that people are just sick of talking about it.
I happen to think the HK system in my 02 330i sounds great! I haven't heard anything that people have been complaining about. It has good bass and treble response and absolutely no rattling. Not even from the rear deck. Maybe they've done a better job in the sedans than they did in the coupes?
