2008>Present C5 (X7) Sub Woofer.

[JM53 BEL]

I am interested in getting a factory subwoofer for my C5. I was wondering if anyone on here has one fitted and if its worth getting one, is it worth the money, and any ideas on where to find one

Wouldn't bother personally - there's plenty of bass on tap with the standard set up.

If you've got money to spend, I would recommend autodab digital radio conversion

With a decent (non standard) aerial it works superbly- better station choice and rock solid reception

FM will be disappearing at some time in the (near?) future, so this is a good investment..

 

No I don't work for Connects2.

Personally I think the standard audio setup in my C5 is very poor. A new set of component speakers and a sub would be the minimum for me.

I'm surprised to hear that. I'm very fussy about sound quality myself - I run my home hi-fi on a vintage amplifier because I can't stand the dull muddy sound of modern chip amps. I also way prefer vinyl over digital formats, and yet I find the C5 factory radio very acceptable, with loudness on and  slight lift on the bass and cut on treble

 

To each his own, I guess...

So you have loudness on and up the bass as well? The C5 must fairly vibrate. 

I was going to upgrade the speakers on my C5 lll but too much trouble to take off panel. Have upgradedC5 ll front speakers slightly as easy to get off grille. 

 

Road rumble precludes the motor car from being a decent hifi platform, so I don't get too anal about getting Dali quality.
