That's stupid.. How did they send the speakers overseas but won't send the gaskets? If you paid with a credit card I would dispute the charges and/or negotiate a large discount as they did not send you a working product.

Some of us are still waiting to hear about the "simple 2 channel amp" addition that might help without going thru changing out the subwoofers

The RF woofers are 4ohms, your OEM woofers are 7ohms. Your OEM amp is not stable at less than 7ohms.

My suggestion for HK systems with lack of bass is to add a 2ch aftermarket amp to the OEM amp with about 150W RMS per channel. No need to replace the OEM woofers.

Once you hear the OEM woofers with aftermarket power you will know what I am talking about.

yes I hear this too but that will cost even more, seen some plug and play amps for over $950usd and cheaper to change subs.
As you can see the OEM subs are very cheap made and I dont think you will get good sound out of them also the design is different, it is upside down compare to the Bavsound sub.

Bavsound also do a amp for our 6er

how would you get the signal for the sub from the OEM amp? yes, you can add an aftermarket amp but i'm guessing Technic would have to make a harness to send a sub signal to the amp from the oem amp? not sure how that would work? in my case Bimmertech amp has already solved that problem...not sure how you guys would do that on a HK system?
