Audison Prima APBMW K4E 4" 2-Way Component System for BMW & MINI — 50W RMS / 100W Peak, 4Ω, Plug & Play
The Audison Prima APBMW K4E is a 4-inch (100 mm) 2-way component system developed to upgrade BMW and MINI models fitted with a factory 2-way system. It creates a three-dimensional sound stage and brings out accurate timbre, using a die-cast aluminium basket with Plug & Play connectors, a 29 mm Tetolon dome tweeter and a dedicated crossover. It handles 50W continuous (RMS) and 100W peak power at 4Ω, and it is the sibling of the K4M, with a different basket and fixing-screw option.
Key Features
- 100 mm (4") midrange with a water-repellent pressed-paper cone and a 25 mm fiberglass voice coil
- 29 mm (1.1") Tetolon dome tweeter with dispersion optimized for off-axis output
- Power handling of 50W continuous / 100W peak, 4Ω, 89 dB sensitivity, 90 Hz – 23 kHz response
- Dedicated crossover with a 6 kHz high-pass (6 dB/octave) and a -3 dB / 0 dB tweeter adjustment
- BMW-MINI compatible die-cast aluminium basket with Plug & Play connectors and a neodymium magnet group
- Tweeter support supplied for Plug & Play OEM placements, and a damping removable motor cover
Technical Highlights
The midrange has a low resonance frequency, which allows a high-pass cut-off in the 150–200 Hz range. Xmax is ±0.5 mm, the woofer weighs about 0.43 kg and the tweeter about 0.06 kg. Retailer listings mention an optional door mounting adapter for some models, and Finnish distributor notes list the X5 and X6 (F15/F85, F16/F86) front and rear doors as needing the separate APBMW A4E adapters.
Ideal For / System Fit
- BMW and MINI models with a factory 2-way component system that fits the K4E basket
- Owners who want a plug-and-play upgrade without cutting the car
- Systems driven by an aftermarket amplifier or an Audison DSP amplifier for the best results
Model-specific: check your BMW or MINI model against Audison's Sound Pack Configurator, since some models need adapters. Professional installation is recommended.
Installation Note
The kit uses connectors and a tweeter support that match OEM positions. Use the supplied crossover, and match the amplifier to the 50W continuous rating.
What's Included
1 x pair of Audison Prima APBMW K4E: 2 woofers, 2 tweeters, 2 crossovers and the tweeter support (confirm the exact contents, and any door adapters, with your supplier)
Precautions
- Confirm your exact BMW or MINI model, and whether it needs the K4E or K4M, before buying
- Match amplifier power to the 50W continuous / 100W peak rating to avoid damage
- Always use the supplied crossover for the tweeter
- Professional installation is recommended
