Hi,
As far as I remember from my E81- I've bought the big ones and it turned out it was either developed to work with Logic 7, cut off at the low frequencies like 100Hz and below, or with the powerful amplifier- the sound was overloaded. So I've put back my small magnet ones, and just added the tweeters.

The small magnet version is probably a neodymium magnet, which may be equivalent to the larger ferrite magnet. I would not doubt the product of magnetic field and winding length (which gives the force per unit current) is the same. I don't know if the drivers are actually different, though. Why not get a better set of speakers, like the Morel Hybrid Ovation II, or the Focal IFBMW or 100KRS? There is also a new option from Rockford Fosgate for BMW (Don't' know if they're any good). Cost might be a factor, I suppose…

Interesting idea on Morel, as they usually have very high sensitivity and can be easily amplified with the stock amp- have to check if their Qts is close to 0,7 as before they made a lower Qts midranges- for small volumes only or for the low range cut off. Rockford is traditionally rough sounding, immortable at overloading, but they are also able of developing speakers with amazing sound quality. Focal should be nice, but little bright. Eton is the one I would put an eye on. |
