[QUOTE="idkcaraudio, post: 8710060, member: 680303"] Yes, I do have a soft top mini and I'm using the 6.5 woofers. The speakers are already in a baffle actually from the factory, and the amp seems to have enough headroom so if I want bass on the freeway I can turn it up without it distorting, but that means I get an overwhelming amount of bass at lower speeds. I didn't notice this to be as much of an issue with the factory system, I'm not sure how they got around it. I do remember bass being very peaky in the oem system so maybe it was just less noticeable. It also surprises me how much quieter other convertibles are, so I'm not sure why mine is so loud. I drove my father's 2 series bmw for a day and it was ridiculously quiet on the freeway. I'm not sure how they got to that point but it was very impressive. It's atleast twice as quiet as my car inside at 80 mph. I think it came from the factory with sound deadening already installed, as I guess bmw is a luxury company now. [/QUOTE]
