The install was simple per JL who talked with BMW. The main amp is in the back...but with active sound, the sound comes through the sub. I may have the loudest exhaust! lol
Seriously tho, is there a way to get rid of the active sound?
The 81 lb sub actually adds to the rear traction tho!

Nice. There is a way to turn off active sound...can be coded.

I am sure pkilla stole them at vpc or someone along the way. Did anyone lease get a voucher ?

I did a thorough review of this over a year ago. Here it is.

At the time I loved the sound but I didn't think it was worth $3700. In my review I said I won't buy it. Then I bought it anyway!

For those who don't like it, I would suggest getting a better source (not an iPod) so you can truly appreciate the great engineering of the system. I do have one gripe is the LOW LOW end is a bit weak but thats an easy fix. I need to play with the EQ to have not had time to do that.

Check this out.

hmm. are you sure about this? I am less sure given there was no L7 equaliser option on my old car and the sound on the new car is _massively_ better.

Even on 2012 F10s you could add the HK logo to the iDrive screen and add the equalizer menu by coding.

yes but that doesn't make the speaker quality increase

Yeah I think it may be placebo - a bit like I think the 2014 exhaust sounds better, even without the comp package. Even the B&O isn't "massively" better than the 2013 HK system, so if what you say is true then your system must be better than the B&O too. I don't think there is enough white space in between those two systems to warrant improving the HK system.

One interesting fact we may use to compare is the watts. How many watts is the 2014 HK system?

I'm doubting that the pro system is the HK system, I had pro in my old car and HK in the new one and it's hugely better. so I don't think they are the same systems, could all be EU vs US. localisation changes of course.

Damn you Pkilla. I don't have a voucher either!
