The in-medium modifications on the $K^-/K^+$ ratio produced at GSI are studied. Particular attention is paid to the properties of antikaons, which determine the chemical potential and temperature at freeze-out conditions. Different approaches have been considered: non-interacting $K^-$, on-shell self-energy and single-particle spectral density. We observe that the full off-shell approach reproduces the "broad-band equilibration" advocated by Brown being the spectral density crucial to explain an enhanced $K^-/K^+$ ratio.
