Interchangeability of G20 and G30/G11 speakers
Unfortunately my car only has the base sound system without tweeters (OS7/RAM).
I would like to retrofit those with the Harman/Kardon ones and maybe also use the center speakers from the G30/G11 as they share the same tweeter as the G20. Does someone know, if these are interchangeable and plug & play? Would the subwoofers work, too? Stock woofers are 4Ω/15w, Hifi 4Ω/25w. Does someone know the spec of the Harman/Kardon ones? And what power is the RAM able to deliver? Last edited by 320iG20; 12-20-2023 at 02:30 PM.. |

You will also need to change RAM from Basic to High and add Booster (ALEV3) for HK woofers.
RAM Modules -Basic for Base audio -Mid for HiFi -High for HK or BW Boosters -Base audio is without it -for HiFi I don't know -HK have ALEV3 -BW have ALEV4 Also if you have DAB, you need to find RAM with DAB option (HIGH DAB). And normally you will need to code your VIN number to the new RAM module and add S688 option (for HK) in VO. You will also need to recode HU-MGU unit to HK. I don't know how is with used RAM modules, if you can get OTA for your car or not? Last edited by panki_86; 12-21-2023 at 05:43 PM.. |

Does the basic RAM not offer enough power for the HK woofers?
It should have a 6-channel analog output? https://www.bimmer-tech.net/blog/ite...system-upgrade Changing completely to HK would not make sense, as it is more expensive and sounds worse than a third party solution. |

Ok, I also checked the plugs, Base has two pins, Hifi and HK only one per side at different positions. That won't work without custom cables/plugs. Not worth the effort.
And the stock woofer is tiny and only has 15w, Hifi 25w, HK is not specified. Third party woofers have 100+w. Last edited by 320iG20; 12-23-2023 at 08:43 AM.. |
