Bavsound
 

Well that sucks. Was looking to upgrade my speakers down the line.

It all starts AFTER you paid the X off.......

Nothing is ever easy with a BMW.....but extremely worth it when it's done.....correctly

Not surprised. There are many here that found what they wanted without going to Bavsound and I think they were plug and play or very close to it.

I do love the Bavsound speakers in my X5. Works well

Well where I'm at the people are afraid to work on BMWs despite the influx of them that have been coming to ND over the years. I'll be in the San Angelo area for a couple of months so hopefully they'll have something for my X.

Suggest searching the forum for threads on upgrade sound, or update audio or start a new thread with title such as need help with upgrade speaker system choice.

Bavsound was a great upgrade from OE but not to the expectations of someone really into high quality audio. Some here have gone all out, others have said they got significantly better quality at the same or less price as Bavsound with other components that were still a basic install.

Yeah I noticed that as well - I should have bought them 2 years ago when they were still around as I have DSP

2-3 ohm Impedance speakers is the key to the BAV magic. So when shopping in the aftermarket look for some high efficiency low impedance drivers for the system. The tweeters in the DSP system are 8 ohms so a 4 ohm aftermarket set will work nice in the X5. I went with a set of JL audio tweeters with 4 ohm impedance. Gladen speakers would be a good choice of drivers to consider for the X since they have low impedance applications, high efficiency.
