Audison has engineered a 200mm shallow-frame underseat woofer for BMW and MINI. These can be used as replacements with OEM amplification, but best results are attained when used in a system upgrade that includes Audison Forza bit amplifiers and BMW integration harnesses.
Audison R&D used an injection-molded frame with graphite fibers (to increase rigidity), and a neodymium magnet for smaller size (important with the inverted-magnet configuration). The 2”/50mm voice coil is the largest used in any BMW replacement woofer. The inverted-magnet design has a top vent in the pole, to extend thermal performance and power handling. The acoustically-transparent fabric cover keeps debris off of the speaker cone, which prevents distorted sound in the under-seat location.
Bridging 2 channels into the 4-ohm APSBMW S8-4.2 delivers more power. This 4-ohm woofer is best used with bridged channnels – in this mode the lowest bass extension is achieved.

To maximize performance while minimizing bulk and weight.
To increase listening engagement, through powerful and crisp low frequencies, exploiting the acoustic load provided by the factory box.
For a considerable power dissipation and stability even during high excursions.
For OEM placements.
In combination with AP 8.9 bit in active multi-amplification.
