BMW E90 has six speakers. Methods to maintain speaker appearance cleanliness: Ensure all wiring connections are secure. Regularly inspect and tighten the fixing screws of the speakers and brackets to ensure reliable grounding. Speaker mounting methods: The mounting method of the speaker significantly affects its sound output. To ensure normal sound production, speakers should not be rigidly mounted. Instead, they should be fixed on a vibration-damping bracket, meaning a leaf spring or rubber pad should be installed between the speaker and the mounting bracket. Checking generator output voltage: Excessive voltage can burn out the speaker contacts, while insufficient voltage (below the speaker's rated voltage) will cause abnormal sounds from the speaker.

My car is an E90, which I've driven for over five years. The audio system comes in different configurations. The standard version only has six speakers: four in the front (one mid-range and one tweeter on each door) and two coaxial speakers on the rear doors. If you opt for the top-tier Harman Kardon package, there's an additional center speaker in the dashboard and a small subwoofer hidden under the rear windshield, bringing the total to thirteen speakers. When buying the car, you need to check the configuration sheet—mine is the standard version, and the speaker quality is indeed average. A friend spent over 10,000 yuan to upgrade to a full Harman Kardon system, and the surround sound effect is absolutely amazing.

After ten years in auto repair and seeing hundreds of E90s, there's really no fixed number for the speakers. The base model has a mid-high frequency combo speaker in each of the four doors, with coaxial ones in the rear doors, totaling six. Mid-to-high trims usually come with a center speaker—that small round mesh protruding in the middle of the dashboard. The interesting part is the rear deck; some versions hide a bass unit there. The most extreme setup I've seen was with the Logic7 system, boasting thirteen speakers throughout the car, even with tweeters hidden behind the rear headrests. That's the good thing about old BMWs—just pop off a door panel and you can see the speaker model.

My friend just bought a used E90, and I helped him check the configuration. The base audio system in the 2008 325i only has six speakers: two tweeters in the front door sail panels, two mid-range speakers in the middle of the doors, and two coaxial units in the rear doors. If equipped with the Professional Audio Package, there would be an additional center speaker on the dashboard and a subwoofer on the left side of the trunk, bringing the total to ten. The top-of-the-line Harman Kardon system is even more impressive, with tweeters embedded in the rear C-pillars. I recommend rolling down all the windows and playing music from different areas to test for any gaps in sound when moving the audio source, which can help determine the number of speakers.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car for Beginners

Methods for beginners to drive a manual transmission car: 1. Seating posture technique: After familiarizing with the vehicle, adjust the seat to the correct position, place the right foot lightly on the brake pedal, with an obtuse angle of about 120 degrees between the thigh and calf; 2. Starting technique: When starting a manual transmission car, press the clutch to the bottom and engage first gear, place the right foot hovering above the accelerator, slowly release the clutch while releasing the handbrake and gently pressing the accelerator, then immediately press the accelerator lightly after lifting the left foot pressing the clutch slightly; 3. Downhill technique: Do not coast in neutral when going down long and steep slopes, as relying solely on brakes makes it difficult to slow down quickly in emergencies; 4. Gear control speed technique: Use gears to replace partial braking when controlling speed, let the engine brake when going downhill, and avoid braking downhill; 5. Traffic light technique: When approaching a traffic light, judge the distance in advance, shift to neutral when the green light flashes, and coast to the intersection to wait for the red light.

Which gear should be used for climbing a slope with a manual-automatic transmission?

When climbing a slope with a manual-automatic transmission, you should use the L gear. L stands for Low, which is the low-speed gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting into this gear limits the car's automatic shifting to only the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car). This allows the car to use engine braking when going downhill, preventing the driver from having to press the brakes for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger. Here is some related information about automatic transmissions: 1. Introduction: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, and L. 2. Automatic principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, an automatic transmission consumes 10% more fuel than a manual transmission. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle will be.

Is a Dash Cam Easy to Install?

Whether a dash cam is easy to install depends on its structure. A single-lens dash cam is relatively simple to install, while a dual-lens dash cam is more complex. Below are the detailed installation steps: Dash Cam Installation Methods: For a single-lens dash cam, first determine the mounting position. Then route the cable along the inner edge of the roof trim, follow the rubber lining of the A-pillar, and run the wire along the floor mat or storage compartment to the cigarette lighter for power connection. On the other hand, installing a dual-lens dash cam involves more steps, including a longer power routing path and the need to remove more interior trim pieces. Therefore, it is recommended that owners visit a 4S shop for professional installation. Dash Cam Installation Notes: Since the distance between the camera and the dash cam body is significant, cable routing is the most complex part of the installation. To conceal the wiring, you can tuck the cable into the gap between the car body and the headliner from the rear, then route it along the gap between the windshield and the headliner at the front. Alternatively, you can run the cable under the cabin and hide it with the floor mat, though the power cable will inevitably be exposed at the front.

What to do if the STOP light on FAW truck stays on?

If the STOP light on a FAW truck remains illuminated, you should check the water temperature, oil pressure, air pressure, engine, cab, etc. The STOP light will activate if any of these components malfunctions. Below is an introduction to the STOP light: 1. This light is connected to warning lights such as "oil pressure" and "brake fluid level" as well as the "coolant temperature gauge." If the light flashes while the engine is running, you must immediately stop and turn off the engine. 2. The oil pressure warning light is connected to the central STOP warning light. If this indicator lights up while the engine is running, accompanied by a buzzer sound, and the multifunction display shows "OIL-PRESSURE-INSUFFICIENT (engine oil pressure too low)," stop immediately. If the lubrication system is low on oil, refill it to the proper level. 3. The parking brake and low brake fluid level warning lights are connected to the STOP warning light. This light will illuminate every time the ignition switch is turned on.

What to Pay Attention to When Taking Delivery of a Car?

When taking delivery of a car, it is necessary to check the engine, exterior scratches, and other aspects. Below are the specific precautions for vehicle inspection upon delivery: Inspect the body: Visually examine the paint surface of the car body to check for scratches and wear. Observe under sufficient sunlight to see if there is any color difference in the paint. Open the car door and push it to several angles to allow light to shine from different directions, checking if the sheet metal is even. Check the doors: Open the car doors and pay attention to whether they open and close smoothly. Check if the gaps between the doors and between the front and rear bumpers are consistent. Inspect the engine: Open the engine hood and check if the engine compartment is clean. If the car has been stored for a long time or used, there may be obvious dust or stains in some areas. Check the glass: Check if the windshield is original. Check the vehicle nameplate: The car nameplate is located on the side of the driver's door or inside the engine compartment. Pay attention to whether the manufacturing date is too far from the current date. If it exceeds six months, the car is likely to be a stock vehicle or a test drive car.
