Looking ahead, at the end of this article you’ll find our video with a brief overview of this project…<\/p>\n\n

Imagine how much you have to love music to buy a new, respectable car with a factory hi-fi system, only to realize after 1,500+ km that something’s wrong with the sound. “I was a DJ at school parties, and I can’t live without music ever since,” said the owner of a BMW X5 G05, who entrusted us with his car with just 1,562 km on the odometer, and even drove it from another city to Kyiv so we could install a new sound system in just a couple of days: <\/p>\n\n

This project turned out to be one of the most challenging of 2020. We didn’t do anything complicated on the car\u2014we have extensive experience working with BMWs, including the G05 (read about our previous work improving the sound of the BMW X5 G05).

Admittedly, these conditions are too sterile to be realistic, so we can only outline the general nature of the future system; we don’t know what you’ll imagine. <\/p>\n\n

So the owner’s conditions were as follows:<\/p>\n\n
