Hifi System Pro DSP to Harman Kardon upgrade

I've heard that these systems are the same.. Or are they? I had F30 with Harman Kardon setup, and the sound was more punchy and clear. Kind of hoping to get the same kind of sound with 2013 F01 which has Hifi System Pro DSP.

Does anyone have insight on this? I think it changed to 2014 models to HK.

I would like to hear if someone have tested both on F01? If it's not the same and HK is better, next question would be that is it a plug and play swap to HK speakers..

I feel the same too.. The HK sounder better I think. If there is a way to switch I'd be glad to know how.

I just added a 12" sub with Matts amps setup. The 12" in more than needed. A 8 or 10 could do it. According to the vin I have HiFi and the sound is so much better. No need to replace no speakers

I agree. From my experience, if the stock speakers can get loud with minimal distortion, it makes a good baseline for an added subwoofer. Once you add the subwoofer, it makes a perfect balance of deep bass and clean highs.

Now that I have been listening for couple weeks, I've started to like the sound more. Actually, I think I would prefer this over F30 Harman Kardon. Bass is strong but not overbearing. And more in balance compared to F30 HK. It sounds very good with high volume too. I would not add more bass there, that's perfect amount for me. Only if sound could be bit more precise / punchier. It's bit soft side.
