Highs and Mids
I recently added a pair of 8" subs to my 2004 X5 w/DSP. Sounds really good, pretty happy. I am wondering, though, is there are way to easily upgrade the highs and mids? Would replacing the stocks tweets/mids provide only better sound but also a bit more volume, or do I really need to add another amp/speakers. What is the best way to improve volume+quality of mids/highs? Thanks, TTM

Many different upgrades available

As for volume, you may see an increase in volume depending on your particular system. If you replace the existing speakers with lower resistance ones (ie. 4 ohm ilo 8 if that is what you have) then the new ones will be louder. HOWEVER, please bear in mind that your factory amplifier may not be stable at very low impedance. If you meant brighter instead of louder, then the answer is still yes, but you need to go listen to the possible new speakers to determine which you like - and remember, whatever they sound like in the store, they will sound different in your car  d-

What kind of effort level are we talking about for the installation...?
If I didn't go with the full package (change all the speakers), which are the key ones to change out to get better sound, or do they all really need changing? How do you figure out which speakers will fit? Is there any dimension info for the factory speakers around, so I can make sure any new ones I buy will fit and are the correct impedance? Also you mentioned that speakers would be louder if the new ones are lower impedance. I will probably not take a chance on that, will just match the ratings on the new and old speakers. Question is, what are those ratings? Thanks to people who responded. TTM

The speakers are in an "enclosure". If you had to put a size on them it would be ~6" speaker for midbass and about a 5/8 tweeter. The midrange in the dash up front is 2.5". Our stage 1 does not just "get louder". The impedance is properly matched and sometimes just a touch higher than the stock speakers. This is made up for in efficiency. The "loudness" most people refer to would be that if with your oem speakers you can turn it up to 15 clicks before it sounds terrrible... now you can turn it up to 18,19 or 20. You can listen at a higher volume level because of the increase in sound quality and the lack of distortion at lower volume levels. Let me know if you have ANY additional questions!

i'd have to say that the most difficult part of the installation is removing the
OEM speakers from their housings. a bit of effort is required to do this. enough effort that u feel as if ur gonna break something from using so much force. also, when removing the front door panels, be extremely careful not to pull the panel off at any awkward angles. if u have lighted door handles, the piece attached to those breaks quite easily and costs about $60 to replace. trust me on this one. as for the rear door panels, i keep saying this until i am blue in the face, they do not need to be removed. when i did the install on my previous 4.6is, i did not remove the rear door panels.
