You might also alter the total impedance if you downstream the tweeters? Just wondering'? An EE or audiophile would need to chime in on that aspect. Good Luck. Mike

I can confirm that in the year or more of my speaker upgrade there have been no issues with the 4ohm speakers that I listed in my post.
The only caveat being that I no longer use the stock factory head unit, I installed an Eonon GA6166 a few years ago. Mike

Here's my thoughts: -I bought them cheap on sale, so for the price it was a no brainer ($100) -They have good sound compared to more expensive sets I've owned before and MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the stock BMW speakers. -I have mixed feelings about the crossovers because they come prewired with very thin guage speaker wire, but they are very small and could easily fit in the doors (which I personally don't recommend as a mounting location) -The tweeters are definitely on the "bright" side, but for my purposes of being able to hear clearly with the top down they do a great job. -The build quality is much better than I was expecting for the price point. Although I'm not a huge fan of the crossover setup I would definitely buy these again for a budget build. |

I enjoyed Hertz components in my E46 before as well.

I've been on this bus for about 2yrs...
I've got:
Eonon head unit. Memphis dash mids BSW ghost sub/amp Bavsound front doors Bav Auto's upgraded p&p tweeters Factory rear doors JL MX280/4 amp I feel like it all sounds great EXCEPT for the Memphis mids bottoming out at only medium volume respective to what I feel the whole system should be able to handle. My questions, therefore, are these - has anyone found a better option for mids in dash than the memphis ones? Also, would a fix86 or bass-blockers help me out? OR, should I just keep dreaming about a VX400/4i??? |

E53 has 6 channels up front alone between the mids, tweets, and dash speakers. You driving everything (front and rear) with the marine 4 channel? Cool little amp BTW. And that VX400/4i... yummm. With there being so many speakers in the X5 I opted for the Tim "the Toolman" Taylor option of 2x 500/5 JL Slash V1 amps and 1x 1000/1 Slash V1 to drive everything with it's own Xover and separate level adjustment. Obviously overkill, and I don't have any of it in the truck yet sooooo yeah. All the gear is just sitting on a shelf waiting for the kids to grow up Edit: The fix86 looks like it would work from reading the description. But that price though. You like nice gear. I think I'd try the bass blocker option if I was sure that the amp wasn't unhappy with the load I was presenting it and causing the distortion.

Thanks CW. Yes, I am driving front and rears with mx280/4. I have the factory amp bypassed because it died on me. I can get a lightly used Fix86 for around $200 OR my interest was peaked when researching alternatives to Eonon and found the Avin Avant4. I'm curious to know if that would be plug'n'play to replace the Eonon unit I have. It is a bit steep at like $700 loaded up with the right features. I know that a lot of people have been relatively happy with their Eonon head units but I could not find anything through search about the Eonon GA9449 which looks to be MUCH faster than mine AND adds CarPlay. It is advertised for E39 only 8/10 times and E39&E53 2/10 times. Very scientific sampling - I KNOW. Anyway, that newer Eonon unit would not solve my DSP problem, but for $218 it IS tempting compared to the Avin unit. This all feels like a random thought dump, but I was hoping someone might chime in who has at least looked closely at the GA9449 as a referenece and this thread could help find them |
