[8600RPM]

So I had been very happy with my individual audio system in my e92 m3 coupled with an arc amp pushing 2 eton b150 woofers that replaced my under seat individual woofers. They play amazing mid-range and truly hit hard like the earthquakes do but with good midbass they are perfect. I have had jehnerts before as well and the eton 150's are better. I give them 200 watts each through my arc amp and they sound great.

However I am always in search of new things and when I saw eton had the b195 out, I thought it was the newest woofer. I knew it was a bit thinner but I ordered two of them and installed them a few days ago. Unfortunately they are worlds worse than the b150's. They are very very shallow-probably the same shallowness as the stock f30/f80 sub's (I had an f80 and sold it for another e92 m3).

They play "loud" but it is in the same way the stock logic 7 tries to create bass out of such a shallow speaker and you get a more hollow boominess. Not a clear or punchy bass.

So if you can create a spacer for the b150 (they are way too deep for the shallow f30 space, the b150 is great.

Before doing these if it were me I would try running aftermarket power to the stock logic 7 woofers in the f30 and see how it goes. These to me looked no better than the stock logic 7 woofers. I did not however every try power the logic 7 woofers because I got rid of my F80 m3 before I tried.

So the new b195 are definitely not an upgrade by any means over the b150 but rather they are a shallow version made to fit the f30.

I sent mine back at a hefty shipping price and therefore loss but ultimately put my b150's back.

I have had jehnerts, earthquakes, stock individual subs-all powered by an arc amp giving 200 watts per speaker and the eton 150 are the best by far at mid and low bass

So did you make your own spacer or did you find one for purchase?
