I’m looking to keep factory nav and amp. I am looking for an F15 M, so this is a temporary sound update for my idle hands. Once I find an M that I fall in love with, my beast will be up for sale.

first thing it to swap out the two mid range by the front windscreen. replace those and enjoy the upgrade instantly, THEN upgrade the doorcard speakers... you may be happy with just the upgrade to those Memphis audio speakers and want to stop there. remember you will get NO money back on this investment when you sell the X5, so put in as little as possible if you are selling anyhow.

However, personally, I don't buy things to sell them (I buy for long term enjoyment and functionality), but I understand that selling purchases is sometimes a necessary reality for many folks

Yea I am ok with this. I never really like the sound system in the X, other than the exhaust, so a few bucks isn't going to break me. Plus a new X is not as easy to find when I am looking for a specific one, I may be in the e53 for a bit.

Do you guys have a link for the memphis speakers. Ty again?

Honestly not sure they were worth the effort. Have to modify the housing with a dremmel to make them fit nice, lots of trimming on the edge.


Marginal sound improvement.

Here is what I have

Memphis Audio PRX275 2-3/4" 2-Way Power Reference Coaxial Speakers

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Memphis-PRX...-/221971147538

I remain pleased with the sound upgrade they gave my ears from the OEM units.

At the time this thread was created, I was running off factory DSP. I have since removed all of that for other amps and I'm thrilled with the results.
