Aluminium cones are, without a doubt, long-lasting, while also delivering very detailed sound. When it comes to paper, it offers a very rich palette of tones, making the sound open and powerful. The nominal speaker impedance is the average resistance of a speaker to electrical signals. MINIs equipped with the Harman system have 2 Ohm woofers because the Harman amplifier is capable of supplying them with enough power at a lower impedance. As a rule of thumb, amplifiers have a harder time supplying power to lower impedance speakers.

Coming to the cherry on top — neodymium alloy. The material of a magnet is essential for the speaker to deliver as accurate a sound as it can. Neodymium alloy is one of the most powerful magnets used in speaker production. It helps to move the voice coil quickly and precisely making the sound come out very natural and accurate. If you have the Harman Kardon system in your MINI from the factory, you should definitely start off by upgrading the amplifier first. The Harman Kardon speakers are already decent, but the amplifier could use some work.

Thanks to the DSP, we are able to preload your MINI amplifier before shipping with an optimized tuning file adjusted specifically towards your listening pleasure. Harman speakers are very well suited for equalizing. With the amp you will get the best bang for your buck out of your factory speakers. The installation process will also be simpler compared to retrofitting an amplifier into an originally base stereo MINI.

You can easily split the upgrade process into two parts, starting off by replacing the amplifier in around an hour and later on progressing to upgrading the speakers for optimal performance.

While starting off with upgrading the amplifier first is always our recommendation, replacing the amplifier alone without upgrading the speakers at the same time will not be of much benefit because:.

In some cases, installing our amplifier into the base stereo system may not be possible. The difference between woofers made for cars with an amplifier and without one lies in their impedance. Weaker power sources like the iDrive head unit compared to the Harman amplifier in the case of MINIs are not capable of driving lower impedance woofers.

Our Premium Audio system amplifier also works best with 2 Ohm woofers, nonetheless it is also fully capable of driving 4 Ohm woofers too thanks to its ample power reserves. The installation of a MINI Cooper speakers replacement is very similar to any other speaker installation procedure.

Especially with a complete kit of DIY essentials , which were created to smoothen your install process from start to finish.
