crystalworks is on a distinguished road
Cut the mounting tabs off the replacement 6.5" drivers and they will drop right into the factory speaker door pods. To remove the factory 2ohm speakers you can use an exacto knife to cut the silicon adhesive that goes around the perimeter. I used 3M VHT to temporarily adhere my new drivers and then ran a bead of silicon around the perimeter as factory. Looks almost OEM. Like below:







As others have mentioned, business audio (NA model) has an amp in the left hatch cubby. And 4ohm speakers will work fine in place of the 2ohm, but will be "underdriven." My wiring diagrams will do you no good as they are for DSP equipped X5's, but I could probably pull the business audio ones from TIS if you need them.
