Transform your BMW’s audio experience with the Phoenix Gold ZDT-BMW2 T-Harness, specifically designed for BMW vehicles from 2005 to 2019 equipped with the Basic Sound System. This innovative harness addresses a common issue found in these systems: the front door speakers and under seat woofers are connected together, compromising sound quality and performance.
In the stock configuration, the small 4” door speakers are forced to handle lower bass frequencies, leading to distortion. Simultaneously, the under seat woofers are required to reproduce midrange and treble frequencies they were not designed to handle, further degrading the audio clarity. The result? A muddled and distorted sound profile that falls far short of your vehicle’s potential.
The ZDT-BMW2 T-Harness resolves this by separating the signal paths of the front door speakers, under seat woofers, and rear speakers, enabling a fully active configuration. When paired with a Phoenix Gold ZDA6.8 DSP amplifier, this advanced setup allows precise tuning of frequency filters across the entire audio system. Each speaker can be finely calibrated to deliver optimal performance, dramatically reducing distortion, enhancing overall sound clarity, and unlocking the full potential of your vehicle’s sound system. The result is an immersive, balanced, and professional-grade audio experience like never before
The Phoenix Gold ZDT-BMW2 harness simplifies audio integration when paired with our ZDC-ISO harnesses. Designed for seamless compatibility, it allows you to match the ZDT- cable to your specific vehicle and combine it with our ZDA6.8 amplifier for a complete Plug & Play solution.
Installation Made Simple:
