Bimmertech Alphaone vs BAVSOUND Speaker Review BMW M4 F82 

Thanks for the honest review Blake! Naturally we're biased here at Bavsound so, wanted to reply to a few of your points speaking in *general terms*: A couple of things to keep in mind: More efficiency often means less control. It would make sense if you are hearing a bit more bass or volume from a particular set of speakers, you might simultaneously hear more "boom", which is a personal preference. If volume is at the top of the criteria list, then more efficiency is what you want. If you are looking for more control, sometimes you have to give up amplifier efficiency. We try to walk the fine line between big full bass and precise low-end reproduction... Part of our design ethos was actually to improve some of the factory subwoofer "boominess". As far as ferrite vs neodymium magnets: The type of magnet doesn't affect sound quality nearly as much as other factors. Some of our speaker designs are ferrite and some are neodymium. We use neodymium when there is a space constraint, and as you mentioned neodymium has a weight advantage if you are tracking the car. ... Silk vs titanium veneer tweeters: Silk will be clear but much smoother and warmer, natural sounding. Titanium tends to sound brighter and crisper, but can sometimes sound harsh or metallic. In short, our speaker designs were created with the idea that they would be "transparent" meaning the sound of the speakers would not be present. We want you to hear a bass guitar rather than bass mud. We want you to hear the singer's voice rather than the harsh sibilance of her speech. In essence, like you are there in the room with the musicians.

I installed the bavsound ghost woofers and I immediately noticed a day and night difference. The bass is crips and clean. Can’t wait for mine to fully break in. I installed them a day ago. Install was easy

Man, Thank you for doing this video! I am new to the world of bmw and came across both these brands so I was wondering which one I would like more. It sounds like from your take that the bimmer tech has more bass which is what I am after. So thanks for doing all the leg work!

Great vid thanks i was looking at bavsound for my Supra but heard the subs weren't much improved from stock so i think i might go with these.

Upgrading the speakers is cool but i have the Bavsound Revenant Pro Amp upgrade and HOLY SH*T did it transform the audio experience in the vehicle! Without adding the extra power of the amp to the new speakers you’re just missing out on so much potential. I also have the Bavsound ghost subs which I'm not as crazy about because the bass isnt as clean as i would like but i may have received defective ones.

He keeps saying it’s in the design of the Bavsound , he never figures out the cover comes off the bavsound ?

For the price or a little more might as put together a custom kit with focals

Great video and awesome speakers

The BAV Sound looks better made than Bimmer Tech, as someone said, a mix and match may be better.

Before doing audio demos of new speakers, you should let them have their 10-20 hour break-in period, otherwise you're not getting anywhere near an accurate representation of what they *will* sound like. But, still... dope video.

11:42 I was waiting for you to play some music.

After breaking in the Bavsound and Alpha one subwoofers, which has relatively more boom/thumping bass if I do not want to add additional amp or external boxed subwoofer???

How does it sound now after they’ve been broken in

Where can I get alpha ones installed in south Florida

I think you should always upgrade the amp if your updating speakers. You are not giving the speakers a chance if the amp can't keep up

Run bavsound 8ohms if your going to run oem amp

Hey brotha, it’s been a month now - How have the speakers worked out? I know they are priced the same so price is not an issue, just curious which one is ultimate the best sounding? You mention the Bimmertech moves more air but the bavsound has a crisp-punchiness to it, a month later is this still the case? Crisp-punchiness is what I would go for over loudness😃🙏🏽 great vid!

It's quite the challenge to tell the difference unless you have two car side by side with the different speakers, same setting, and after the break in phase. Also, songs are mixed differently so some may hit harder than others so in the end, it all comes down to your personal listening preference. For me, I will go with Bavsound; I upgraded all my speakers in my BMW X5 for about $1000 and they sound great compared to the harman kardon system in my 7 series. Without hearing the Bavsound system, you would think the harman kardon sound is awesome but for me, the difference is night and day. I thought about going with bimmer-tech but all of their products are overpriced like the BMW Stealership so for great sound upgrade that won't break the bank, I will stick to Bavsound. Blake claimed that he is not being paid but free speakers or any free items is the same as being paid to say nice things about a product. I am not being paid but I wish Bavsound could send me free speakers for my 7 series lol!

You cannot rate the Bavsound without the amp.

Clean that interior lol

Are you selling the old one

Bav has 4 years warranty....Bimmer only 2.

There's more to the Sound than meets the eye. See ?

get a helix dsp amp and accuton or esb speakers or audiofrog. I’m telling you you will be shocked

Bimmer tech has better speaker but Bavsound got way better sub. I would mix and match.

Blake, I lose a year of my life every time you say "bawv-sound". Do you say Bavarian or do you say BAWvarian? I drive a BAWvarian car on a BAWvarian road.

Bavsound is the biggest rip off I think I ever seen. If people weren't so lazy and used to everything being done for them(or just dumb)they could save themselves a BOAT load of money. By simply measuring my speakers and spending a lil time online I was able to replace the ENTIRE system for the same cost as bavsound was gonna charge for JUST THE REAR speakers! That's 11 speakers,head unit and amp,all in the factory housings using the orginal grills so one can't even tell anything was changed...cept for the AMAZING sound
