BMW F07 Stage 3 audio upgrade
IceTronix customer Marcelin opted for the Stage 3 upgrade for his BMW F07 5-series Gran Turismo. As usual with the newer cars, he was really disappointed with the sound system in it especially for such an expensive luxury car.
Stage 3 has the upgraded Audison Forza amplifier! All hidden away from view to keep maximum luggage space in the boot area and for an OE look.
• Audison Prima Front Components
• Audison Prima Rear co-axial speakers
• Audison Prima Rear speaker adapter seats
• Audison Prima 8" Subwoofers Pair ( underseat )
• Audison Prima Forza 8 Channel amplifier
• Audison Prima No-Cut harness
• Audison Prima ISO In/Out Harness
• Audison Prima Output leads
We did a very careful / Clean installation including using the latest Audison speakers which are exact replacement sizes and even have the BMW connections on them. The Audison subwoofers are also direct fit and again terminated with BMW connections so they simply plug in. But the most integrated part of the install was the range of Audison input and output Harnesses we used to allow us to fit the upgraded Audison Forza 8 channel amp without cutting or modifying again of the cars existing wiring. This is a huge PLUS for our customers as all wiring is left original and if required ( say upon car sale for example ) the full Audison system can be removed and the car's original speakers and subwoofers refitted and the car returned to its original condition without cutting wiring!
The installation took us nearly 10 hours but was completed carefully and to a very high standard. None of the panel trims were marked or none of the fragile trims clips were damaged or broken. Clean neat installation takes time but the results are stunning.
When the installation was finished we calibrated and set up the system using the latest Audison installer software. The system now has real power and presence and the mix of the upgraded speakers / subwoofers and the added power of the Audison amp really works!
None of the Audison system is visual anywhere in the cabin and the only sign that anything has been upgraded is the hugely improved Acoustic performance and the 8 channel amp mounted high on the boot side panel.
STAGE 3+ Upgrade
1. Audison Prima Component speakers ( 100watts ) x 2 ( Front doors )
These excellent 4" Audison speakers are direct replacement for the original BMW front door speakers but also include a seperate crossover network and tweeters. These Audison speakers + tweeters use BMW connections and bolt pattern which means no cutting or modification of the BMW original wiring harness. These Component speakers will vastly improve sound quality, definition and sound stage over the BMW original speakers especially with the addition of tweeters but please remember that as they are the same physical size as the BMW speakers, they will not improve bass. These speakers are happy running of the BMW original headunit or can be amped in the future for extra output.
Including the genuine BMW Tweeter grilles in this price to give your car the complete factory original look.
2. Skinz Expert sound deadening material 3mm ( Back of front door cards )
Developed to take noise and vibration control to another level when installing your Car Audio products. Inherent problems due to road noise and car panel vibration which can be caused by the mechanical movement and the displacement of air by speakers has a negative effect on the SPL and sound quality of the car audio system.
Skinz has a 3mm thickness and specially designed textured surface offers greater damping with increased sound wave diffusion than other products available, giving you the highest quality musical basis from any system.
3. Audison Prima S8-4 Subwoofers X 2
Audison Prima Subwoofers have been designed with electro-acoustic parameters that maximize performance for the factory box available below the seats. The ABS plastic basket, reinforced with fiberglass, and the acoustic structure featuring a front magnet, provide for a minimal installation depth for a perfect compatibility with the whole range. Two 5 mm polyurethane gaskets, supplied, allow the subwoofer to fit perfectly to the box, decoupling it from vibration.
The 200 mm (8″) APBMW S subwoofers allow a “direct replacement” of the OEM speakers underneath the front seats, making the most of the factory acoustic load and generating deep and crisp low frequencies. The Neodymium magnet used on S8-4 allows for greater power and control than ferrite, while maintaining the depth of installation unaltered. Again these will plug directly into BMW wiring connectors so not cutting or joining ( Clean installation that is reversible)
4. Audison Prima Co-Axial speakers ( 80watts ) x 2 ( Rear speakers )
These excellent 4" Audison speakers are direct replacement for the original BMW rear speakers. These Audison speakers use BMW connections and bolt pattern which means no cutting or modification of the bmw original wiring harness. These speakers will significantly improve sound quality, definition and sound stage over the BMW original speakers but please remember that as they are the same physical size as the BMW speakers, they will not improve bass. These speakers are happy running of the BMW original headunit or can be amped in the future for extra output.
5. Skinz Expert sound deadening material 3mm ( Back of Rear door cards or in Rear shelf position )
Developed to take noise and vibration control to another level when installing your Car Audio products. Inherent problems due to road noise and car panel vibration which can be caused by the mechanical movement and the displacement of air by speakers has a negative effect on the SPL and sound quality of the car audio system.
Skinz has a 3mm thickness and specially designed textured surface offers greater damping with increased sound wave diffusion than other products available, giving you the highest quality musical basis from any system.
6. Audison Prima Forza 8 channel amplifier with 9 CH DSP - AP F8.9 bit
The new AP F8.9 bit is the ideal for the most demanding integration projects, where high power is required along with the flexibility of the nine-channel DSP. The word “Forza”, meaning “Power” in Italian, well describes the 8 x 85 W RMS and 4 x 260 in bridge mode (RMS @ 4Ω), with an optimal power to size ratio. The integrated processor is equipped with a dedicated software and 7 pre-configured presets for a Plug & Sound experience. Thanks to the built-in Audison USS technology (Universal Speakers Simulator), AP F8.9 bit can also be correctly connected to head-units with “speaker load detection” function that monitors the presence of a low-impedance load to enable the audio outputs.
7. Audison pro amp cable and special no cut harness
This is 3 special harnesses that allows us to add an amplifier and run the speakers and subs without having to modify the cars existing wiring harness. It allows allows the system be reversible which means we can remove the Audison system and return to original if you are selling the car in the future
