And while I'm at it, might as well list the possible woofer replacement drivers for under the seats:
8" Woofers under Front Seats
- Earthquake SWS-8 / SWS-8X (4/2 ohm)
- Top Mount Depth: 2 1/8"
- Product Link: SWS The Original Shallow Woofer
- Installation Link: SWS 8 upgrade with MTX amp! - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com
- Note: This is a sub-woofer, not a midbass driver! (mid-bass can be made to sound OK with digital processing)
- Hertz Space 8*
- Top Mount Depth: 42 mm
- Product Link: http://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/Doc/SchedaTecnica_space.pdf
- Installation Link: 2009 M3 with custom Audio, radar, and laser system - BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92)
- Note: Best used as midbass driver (bandpassed)
- Morel ADMW SW 9
- Top Mount Depth: 71 mm
- Product Link: Morel Loudspeakers - Mobile Audio - Subwoofers - ADMW SW
- Installation Link: Install fail, and our repair, in a 1-series (image intensive) - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com
- Note: Best used as midbass driver (bandpassed). Requires 3/4" spacer ring and Morel grille to protect cone & surround from floor carpet.
- Kicker SSMB8* (Thanks Technic!)
- Top Mount Depth: 59 mm
- Product Link: Kicker SSMB8 SS Series 8" midbass speakers at Crutchfield.com
- Installation Link: BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - View Single Post - Aftermarket Replacement Speakers List
- Note: According to Technic, much better midbass driver than SWS-8, but not as good at sub-bass frequencies (30-40Hz), i.e. you will need an additional sub. Requires 1/2" spacer ring to fit enclosure and 1/4" shim underneath OEM grilles. Carpet needs to be cut away under seat rails to prevent surround hitting it but looks stock once seats installed.
- Jehnert XE 200
- Top Mount Depth: 50 mm
- Product Link: Jehnert woofer
- Installation Link: 2011 Audio Upgrade Completed, Summery, Overview and Photos - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com
- Note: Requires spacers (thickness unknown). Manufacturer recommends the use of a subsonic filter starting at 80 Hz, suggesting this driver is optimized for mid-bass ("kick bass") and perhaps not well suited for sub-bass.
- Morel MW 265-4
- Top Mount Depth: 69 mm
- Product Link: https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=613products_id613
- Installation Link: BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i) - View Single Post - 2011 Base Stereo Upgrade
- Note: Requires spacers (min. 3/4" thick but may vary depending on car and model year).
- Renaissance WR-8
- Top Mount Depth: 69 mm
- Product Link: Renaissance Audio Group
- Note: Dimensions seem to be identical to the Morel MW265-4. I am still checking to see if there are any substantial differences between the two. This driver has a very high power handling (200W) and a very low resonant frequency (30Hz) so it can almost be used like a subwoofer. Requires spacers (min. 3/4" thick but may vary depending on car and model year).
* may no longer be available new, so check eBay.
