Hello all,

I've been lurking/ researching for quite some time.

I recently decided I was done with the factory speaker setup in my 2009 335d. My previous vehicle was a 2003 330i with an HK system which I felt was far superior to the e90 HiFi.

Anyway after much research I decided to go with the following:

Amplifier - JL Audio XD 600/6
Front speakers - Morel Ovation Hybrid 4's (new in box EBay score)
Rear speakers - BSW mids no tweeter (purchased used from member of this forum)
Subwoofers - SWS-8X (I went with the 4 ohm version since the dampening factor on the amp was twice the rating for 2 ohm).
Accessories - Harness and SWS spacers from Technik, DB Mat sound

I have purchased everything and it should be here by this Friday. I was a professional automotive installer for 4 years when I was in college so I'm pretty confident I won't have too many troubles with the installation.

Settings
From what I have read the preferred settings for other systems similar to mine are

Morels - 12dB crossover and -3dB on the tweeters
JL Amp - Morels crossed over at 150Hz, BSW's at 200Hz, SWS woofers at 140Hz and gains adjusted appropriately.

Do you guys have any different recommendations?

Sounds good, but the SWS should go up to what the Morel's are playing, so 150 hz.

Thanks for this information. I was looking for it also!
