When it comes to elevating your driving experience, high-quality audio and advanced security features make all the difference. At B&B Audioconcepts, Cardiff’s trusted specialists in car audio and security, we recently transformed a BMW X1 into a rolling entertainment and safety hub. This project combined cutting-edge technology, premium audio equipment, and top-tier security systems. Here’s how we brought this vehicle to the next level.
Upgrading with the Kenwood DMX8021DABS Multimedia System
The heart of this BMW X1’s transformation was the installation of the Kenwood DMX8021DABS multimedia system. Known for its superior performance and seamless connectivity, this head unit offers an intuitive interface with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and advanced DAB radio integration.
The Kenwood DMX8021DABS doesn’t just enhance entertainment; it also serves as a hub for added features. In this case, we integrated a Pioneer rear camera, ensuring the owner enjoys clear visuals while reversing. This combination of functionality and entertainment turned the vehicle’s cockpit into a smart, user-friendly environment.
Top 3 Features of the Kenwood DMX8021DABS:

The Kenwood DMX8021DABS supports both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing users to connect their smartphones effortlessly. This feature enables hands-free calls, navigation, music streaming, and app access, making every journey safer and more convenient. - Advanced DAB+ Digital Radio
Enjoy crystal-clear sound quality with DAB+ digital radio, which provides access to a wide range of stations and delivers superior audio performance compared to traditional FM/AM radio. - High-Resolution Display and Audio Quality
The 7-inch high-resolution capacitive touchscreen ensures intuitive control and vivid visuals. Additionally, its support for Hi-Res Audio playback guarantees an exceptional listening experience for audiophiles.
Premium Sound Quality with Audison Speakers and XFIRE Audio Components
No car audio upgrade is complete without top-tier sound. For this BMW X1, we installed Audison APBMW K4E speakers, renowned for their precision-engineered design and ability to deliver crystal-clear sound. Specifically designed for BMWs, these speakers provide exceptional performance without requiring modifications to the vehicle’s interior.
Top 3 Features of Audison APBMW K4E Speakers:

The APBMW K4E speakers are engineered specifically for BMW models, ensuring a perfect fit without the need for modifications. This design preserves the factory look while significantly enhancing audio performance. - Wide Frequency Response
Featuring a coaxial two-way design, these speakers deliver a wide and balanced frequency range, providing crisp highs and rich mids for a high-fidelity listening experience. - Plug-and-Play Installation
With a plug-and-play design, the APBMW K4E speakers are easy to install, using the existing mounting points and connectors of your BMW. This makes them a hassle-free upgrade with minimal installation time.
To take the audio experience further, we paired the Audison speakers with an XFIRE EFX1024D amplifier and an XFIRE BMW80W subwoofer. The amplifier ensures consistent power delivery, while the subwoofer adds rich, deep bass to create an immersive soundscape. This finely tuned setup delivers studio-quality sound that transforms every drive into an auditory experience.
Top 3 Features of the XFIRE EFX1024D Amplifier:

The XFIRE EFX1024D delivers exceptional power output, providing up to 1200 watts RMS for dynamic and distortion-free sound. This makes it ideal for driving subwoofers and enhancing overall audio clarity. - Compact, Efficient Design
Designed with efficiency in mind, this amplifier features a compact chassis that fits easily into tight spaces while maintaining excellent heat dissipation. Its Class-D technology ensures maximum power efficiency with minimal energy loss. - Advanced Audio Controls
The EFX1024D offers a range of customization options, including variable low-pass filters, bass boost, and subsonic filters. These controls allow precise tuning for optimal sound performance tailored to your preferences.
