BMW’S SPEAKERS BEATEN BY MTX OFFERING
This will frankly make those ruddy smug BMW owners – as wittered about already this week – even more smug. Especially as they can preserve the precious warranty on their posh German whips, as well as giving the M-Power treatment to the damn audio. Well, MTX-Power to be exact, for while these loudspeakers can handle far more power than the cars’ head units make, they are very efficient. As well as being made of posh materials that Bimmer Bwoys (and Gals) will get, which cannot be afforded to include in cars as factory fit because of the OEM cost multiplier. That greater efficiency means they go louder and sound better, WAY better than the OEM or Original Equipment by Manufacturer stuff. And then you can add a four channel amplifier later. Think of it as a turbo for the audio.
With an option to add nitrous oxide later.
