Great improvement in the sound of my F36 with Harman Kardon. I wasn't getting the necessary benefit from it and now you can finally hear the music in a balanced way.

@What's your Forte ? Hey so I got the car, and I'm having issues with the speakers, I hear some rattling, and a bit of distortion in two speakers, and I don't feel the bass at all at high volumes, is this the same with your car, or should I add some subs. Also with most electronic songs there’s no distortion at all and it’s perfect but with rap I just can’t enjoy it

So I adjusted my EQ to the exact positions. Maybe it’s in my own head but it’s sounds amazing. The bass is much stronger and I feel like I can hear the separation of the instruments more than before. My speakers don’t say Harman Kardon but I assume they are since I have the 16 speakers, EQ and surround sound. Thanks very much for this. The real test will be when I drive with my daughter and blast some Harry Styles ! Thank you !

I'll give it a try in my 328d with the Harmon Kardon S688A rig. I already have the EQ set for the typical what they call the rock n roll "smile" which is pretty much universally the best for any EQ setup... but I'll try your curve. I just installed a Car Play adapter and it has made the hugest difference.. unbelievable difference in sound quality

Changed it back to: 100hz+3to4, 200hz+2, 500hz+1, 1khz+0, 2khz+0, 5khz+2, 10khz+4 lay this graph on it's side and it looks like a "smile". Pretty good starting place for any EQ. most of these folks didn't even know there were settings that could be adjusted. Again, the night/day difference was adding a Car Play adapter where my phone takes over the BMW screen and functions seamlessly. Sounds awesome. thanks

Today I adjusted the sound according to your video. It is just perfect man. :) Thanks man. Have to tell you that my equalizer is a bit different, I mean the graphic design. :) Anyways, now it is just like it should be. It is better than Bose, at least that one in Opel. :) I had also Bose in Alfa Romeo, but it was a long time ago...
