Looking forward to comparison.
That'll be quite a bit of work to install i would imagine.

I can't wait to hear about the difference. I was actually driving home today wishing there was something I could do to improve the sound quality in the X5. Glad I saw this!

Let us know how the installation goes, how long it takes, and stuff?

I am interested, just want to know how much time I should be budgeting out for this kind of job.

I believe it is about 30 minutes per side.
So total about 3 hours.

Here's my write-up on the upgrade...

http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...light=Bavsound

Do yourself a favor and dynamat the door panels, it makes a huge difference. You're going to have the door panels off, might as well do it.

The more I've listened since the upgrade, the more I like these speakers. You won't be disappointed.

finally got it done this weekend, it took couple hours an some bruised thumbs but i got it done.its not that difficult of an install, you just gotta make sure you don't break any clip connectors or strip any screws.all the tools you need comes with the speakers.the sound quality is better, it don't bottom out at high volume instead it hit harder...highs much crisp...mids clearer...bass more punchy "not earth shaking like a jl audio in the trunk" but better than the hk.

Looks like you did a great installation. I would love to update my HK, but don't know if I'm going to keep the car to make it worth while.
