Audison Prima APBMW X4E 4" 2-Way Coaxial Speakers for BMW & MINI — 40W RMS / 80W Peak, 4Ω, Large Basket
The Audison Prima APBMW X4E is a 4-inch (100 mm) 2-way coaxial speaker designed for BMW and MINI models that cannot take a 2-way component system in the front, or for rear-seat upgrades. It has a basket and fixing screws dedicated to the specific car model, a water-repellent pressed-paper cone and a Tetolon dome tweeter with dispersion optimized for OEM positions. It handles 40W continuous (RMS) and 80W peak power at 4Ω.
Key Features
- 100 mm (4") 2-way coaxial with a 25 mm (1") fiberglass voice coil woofer
- 20 mm (0.8") Tetolon-coil dome tweeter, optimized with FEM simulations for OEM placements
- Power handling of 40W continuous / 80W peak, 4Ω
- Neodymium magnet group for strong performance with minimal bulk and weight
- BMW-MINI compatible die-cast aluminium basket (large-basket version) with Plug & Play connectors
- Waterproof pressed-paper cone and a damping removable motor cover
Technical Highlights
Xmax is 0.5 mm and each speaker weighs about 0.40 kg. The coaxial has a built-in crossover with Plug & Play connections, and a US dealer lists a 30 cm extension with Plug & Play connectors in the box. Masori lists the X4E for MINI F54, F55, F56, F57 and F60 models (basic and Hi-Fi systems), but compatibility should always be confirmed.
Ideal For / System Fit
- BMW and MINI models with a factory basic sound system and a 4" speaker position
- Models where a 2-way component system will not fit in the front doors or the rear
- Rear-seat or door upgrades that need a direct-fit coaxial
Model-specific: check your BMW or MINI model against Audison's Sound Pack Configurator before ordering. Professional installation is recommended.
Installation Note
The speaker uses a dedicated basket and fixing screws with Plug & Play connectors. Use an amplifier matched to the 40W continuous rating.
What's Included
1 x pair of Audison Prima APBMW X4E coaxial speakers (a US dealer lists a 30 cm extension with Plug & Play connectors; confirm the exact contents with your supplier)
Precautions
- Confirm your exact BMW or MINI model, and whether it needs the X4E (large basket) or X4M (small basket), before buying
- Match amplifier power to the 40W continuous / 80W peak rating to avoid damage
- Do not run the speakers at high levels with a distorted signal
- Professional installation is recommended
