Base Model Audio Upgrades

[Timmy_Jones]

I see bimmertech offers a line of speaker upgrades...sadly it shows the 2023 base model as not having any available products (not the JBL audio). Has anyone upgraded the door/center/rear speakers on a base model? As you may know, the base audio is pretty terrible! Not looking for a crazy bump in volume, just a better tone and clarity.

it’s a slippery slope. If you wanna stay stock -ish Get the bav sound option.
If you wanna get crazy. Check out the helix interface and build from there

They all require the stock JBL system whether you search or use the VIN. That’s why I’m looking specifically for a base model kit. I don’t need loud, just balance and clarity.

I can’t imagine what’s that diff between the base model and JBL.
How many speakers are in the base model version

given how abysmal the jbl system has been in both my 20 and if not worse my 23, I can only imagine what the base audio sounds like, one of the weakest points of the car.

Let’s get this going again, it’s TERRIBLE! I did the @tadda bass fix and the “base” model speakers are absolutely trash! I’d like to throw some high quality speakers in this car but I keep running into this weird connection issue? How do I just upgrade the speakers and amp, ya know, like we’ve been doing to decades!

That’s tricky to do. You need an interface to do so.
helix or mobridge.

Whenever I want to have an eargasm I just rev that bitch out to 4k RPM and let off the throttle, or I listen to Kanye (if we are still allowed to)
