COMAND Harmon Kardon w/ subwoofer?

My 2002 G500 w/ COMAND has nice sound, except the base. I'm not young, nor do I listen to rap, but the base output is a bit lack-luster.

Has anybody directly compared a 03/04 G500 with the Harmon Kardon package vs. one without it?

Does the H/K have a subwoofer? If so - where and can it be added to a 2002 G500?

Can an aftermarket sub be added?

Anybody replace any of the OEM speakers with speakers that produce more base?

Other COMAND cars I have driving sound much better. I suspect the small speaker locations in the G are the reason. If a couple speakers could be upgraded or a bazooka tube installed that would probably satisfy me.

Does the COMAND have a sub out or would I have to tap into existing speaker feeds?

1) Always. I occasionally have an Infinity BassLink in mine.

2) The COMAND does not have a sub output. You can tap into existing feeds, or you can get a line output for your COMAND. (sub output and line output are different.)

Nope, sorry... but install is super easy. Mount it somewhere (I fabricated a bracket to hold it above the cd changer/tv tuner); hook into constant power (battery); hook into speaker wires (it is automatically powered up).

I don't have a problem with my battery dying with this setup.
