How to disconnect the center speaker? Also what are recommend EQ settings for the HK?

2) We are introducing a complete plug-and-play subwoofer package by Christmas for the h/k system. Probably going to start at $995 for the completely-stock-looking, no-modification required, plug-and-play system.

We are behind my original schedule, but I like how it looks. Imagine this in matching upholstery and with a matching grille:

What is included in the package deal?

The US standard setup (called HiFi in Europe) has only 9 speakers:

4" 1 mid dash
1" 2 tweets sail front
4" 2 mids front doors
8" 2 woofers under the front seats
4" 2 mids back doors

Anyone in SoCal installed the subwoofer? I would love to hear it.

Thanks for all the information,

I am in Canada, and leasing the value edition of 328i. I think I do not even have the HiFi system. The audio quality is just unacceptable, it made my music library dull, unpleasant, and frustrating! Since I am leasing it, I guess there is no point I for me to do any mods.

Along with other issues, such as lack of enhanced Bluetooth, and undesired wooden interior, I really want to get rid of this lease.
