Yep, one 8" 70W subs under each seat. Several BMW models have that, it's not specific to the 7er. They're mainly for mids and lows though, not for ground-shaking bass

The ML in my 2013 GS sounds almost as good as the standard audio in my 1994 SC400.

congrats syd..I told you to check out RVC lexus. It sounds like they took good care of you.
Good luck with the new color. ML system is great..it just needs some more bass.. I put a alumapro bp-10 sub and jl amp in the trunk since the last time I saw you at the carwash. Now my mark levinson hits hard with the bass.

08 IS-F- matador red mica-swift racing technology intake, hid fogs, calibre K-40 radar, tint, drl bulbs, 3m 1080 black carbon fiber wrap on roof, carbon fiber roof spoiler, lightly smoked out taillights, alumapro bp-10 subwoofer, jl jx-500 amplifier.

i've bought 4 cars from RVC. i am like family there. they know my kids my wife...... i get the VIP treatment when i'm there. i might put an amp and a 10" sub in,,, all JL AUDIO. love JL. i took the white GS to Squeaky Clean once a month to do the undercarriage. i would always hand wash myself,,, but with this Obsidian GS i bought a pressure washer to reach under the car to do the undercarriage myself, that car will never see a carwash,,, that black just scratches to easily. well they all do but black shows so much more imperfections. would like to see what you've done to the F.

You probably have the most expensive GS F Sport in the United States! GS F Sport AWD with everything in it.

beautiful car my brother and awd dont hurt living in ny. but yeh the speakers suck for nice bass response. i ripped out everything from my ml except the radio obviously because its built into the navi, and replaced with kicker L7's and beyma components in all doors. needless to say she now rocks very hard.

Yeah in my 2004 BMW 745LI it had an "8" woofer under each front seat. Logic 7 is my favorite factory sound so far. I have not listened to Audi's Bang and olufsen though!

did you mat it or no? if i pull my speakers, i'll replace them with JL AUDIO, and i will mat it (DYNAMAT) to keep the rattles away. did you DIY??? oh,,, and thanx. i love the car but keeping the scratches at bay on the obsidian is going to be a 24hr. a day job. not looking forward to it.

Since you have LKA, you can't get Lexus Night View as it shares the same camera location at the to of the windshield. It's one or the other. LKA is a lot more usable and valuable. You win!
