Is it possible that some of the manual wording references are really German to English translations by a copy writer who is not a native English speaker?

Sorry but you'll need to provide more context.

I wouldn't recommend the Bavsound stage one speaker upgrade for the G29, not without some major disclaimers.

I swapped out the factory standard speakers on my s30i with the Bavsound speakers and yes, the quality and fidelity is much better, but the audio levels from the head unit are not suited for the new speakers AT ALL. At low volumes the bass dominates the soundstage. This same bass effect fades away as I increase the volume and at high volumes there's no bass (replaced with higher amounts of treble).

I've learned to live with it, but if I was making the choice again I'd opt to spend more money with a larger, matched install (speakers and amp).
