Recommendations for front/rear door speakers..

[edco]

Recently, I had a JL stealth sub and amp installed by the world famous Mobile-Addictions in Staten Island, in my 06 X5. Now the fronts sound "OK" but I thought I'd get some feedback on replacements for the doors, ie, do I do all FOUR doors, just the fronts (rarely have any rear seat passengers). I am not looking for BANGING bass you hear from 6 cars back, (I am 55 years old! ), but better highs and mid-range.

Also (this may be an urban legend), I have been told that since I use Bluetooth for my phone, I need to make sure that the fronts have dual coils (?) so that the audio from the phone comes through..I do not know if that's true.. I like Hertz. James at M-A had them installed in another car and they sounded great but candidly a bit over my budget if I do all 4 doors.

SO, for say $6-800, what could I do that would sound significantly and noticeably better, without breaking my bank (I am retired so I gotta watch the coins).

Would you do all 4 doors?
Would you replace the stock tweeters?
What size amp ? Brand ?
Speakers.. brand..? (why?)
I know that one can spend their entire disposable income on speakers and amps and such, but unless I want to live in a shelter for the homeless, my lovely bride ain't gonna let that happen..

Thank you for your advice, and of course, my best wishes for a Happy, Healthy and especially PROSPEROUS 2010 !

BSW used Mb Quart, now they use rainbow. Do a google search for the correct MB Quart model and size to fit OEM location and that is your budget BSW speaker upgrade minus the BSW specific midrange.

Or just go all out and call BSW and get the entire speaker package from them and call it good to go.

Thank you for the plug Mike


We actually have surpassed the quality of MB Quart and Rainbow and JUST recently finished up on the actual first direct fit X5 midbass speaker... stay tuned because it is going to be a BIG release for X5 guys! At that time our Stage 1 will be improved with the additional of that speaker to complete the transition to 100% BSW speakers in the X5. It sounds great!
