R56 Hifi Upgrade

[Craig]

well after a search on MINI2, it would appear that the Hifi Guru that is Mikeythemini has confirmed that the HIFI upgrade is not worth the money.:disapprove::disapprove: He has found the same problem as me which is that the bass is pi$h. Like myself, if he tries to turn up the volume with any type of cd with deep bass, it just distorts without even getting to any serious amount of volume..:disapprove::disapprove::disapprove:

wonder if I can retro fit the HK kit to the R56...:eek::D

[Sweeney]

I'd say itd be worth a shot craig... surely it can't be that difficult. Disappointed to hear that they have went backwards with audio system quality, should've stuck with HK if you ask me, i always was dubious as to how good the "HiFi" would be.

[Craig]

would have loved to, however HK was not an option for the R56. Only options were standard stereo or hifi upgrade...:disapprove:

[Sweeney]

Yeah what i meant was Mini should have stuck with HK for the audio upgrade

[Scottie]

I must have been lucky. Your welcome to listen to my Hi Fi upgrade any time Craig as i do not seem to have that problem:D

Although I have read some are reporting faulty speakers the middle speakers on doors.

I trust you have ran the speakers in:eek: before putting any real volume out and with any extra bass

[ianking]

I plan on getting mikey the mini do sort out my hi fi on the R56 when it arrives

run them in - never done that with any other speakers I've had and not had a problem...:(

Well, Mikey has a business, so it is in his interest to dis-credit the standard kit!

[Craig]

it's not in my interest tho... it really isn't as good as the HK kit that i had in my cooper... I REALLY wanted to enjoy this kit and was looking forward to it being better...

I'll use one of my CD's in your car Fiona when I get a chance and see if there is a problem with my car, or if the system really isn't up to the job...;)

i would treat the speakers and amp on it much like my hifi warm up properly and run in over a few weeks as after a month or so they sounded far better and after 4 years sound amazing all hifi stuff is like engines needs run in and looked after advice given to me by my mate who runs a sound tech company

I tried a dance CD today in the car and my left middle door speaker pops on my system which has the upgrade but Allan's boost system it was ok:(

Hope everything gets sorted Craig.
