Factory audio systems of MINI R61 – whether Base, or Harman Kardon (S674A) – always need more kick to their bass, smoother mids and less distortion to their highs. And if you’re here, you must want something more than a system as mediocre as that… What you wish for is your MINI to become a Rolls Royce of sound. Fortunately, you don’t need to look any further, as Alpha One Speakers and Alpha One Amplifier are your best bet.

BimmerTech’s MINI Paceman audio systems promise to deliver the rich and distortion-free sound you’re aiming for, but above all a custom tuned amplifier carrying sounds perfectly matched to your musical preferences. The magic of the DSP tuning, gives us the possibility to adjust your system’s settings to convey all the notes and tones just the way you like it.

What MINI speakers you will be getting, and whether the amplifier may be included, depends mostly on your original stereo. So before you get your teeth into a new audio upgrade, decode your MINI’s VIN and check which option your R61 features.

As the install is no more complicated than disconnecting and removing your stock R61 MINI speakers / amplifier, and plugging the new ones in, it should be a glide for any DIY-er. In case you decide to go back to your original setup, you’re also free to do so.
