Newbie here,
I currently have the HiFi installed with my vehicle; I was wondering to upgrade but not spend too much $$$ Would installing the AMP from Bimmertech or Bavsound be worth installing? If so will the current speakers HiFi/ Subs be enough to handle the AMP upgrade or will the alone AMP upgrade enough to tell the difference in the sound. |

the only thing I am concerned about is the DSP options that the Stock HK and Bimmertech have. I don't know if I will be able to get the same out of an aftermarket amp... As far as converters, I would need to get a LC7i or similar from AudioControl... |

I am trying to update my HK system the best I can without changing out the HK amp for the miss and highs...
Seems to be quite the challenge choosing the right speakers. |

Yeah... I feel like my biggest constraint is that I don’t want to just add an LC7i and add an additional amplifier. From what I am seeing, it looks like that really adds a level of complexity that could actually take away from some of the basic BMW functions (chimes, alarms, etc...)
I don’t mind adding an amp for an additional sub as I don’t think that will take away from anything. I really would like to figure out what I can change, speaker wise, that will give me sweeter kids, and a more tame top end than the HK system currently has; especially when played loud. I have learned that the Focal K2’s will fit in factory locations, as well as the IFBMW-S, BavSound, and Eton speakers. Ideally I would like more power for those, but have to work with what I’ve got for now until/if BimmerTech comes out with a plug and play amp to better the HK setup. The problem is, there is no place for me to listen to any of these brands here... Also, with all of the threads I have read, 95% of them are people who have upgraded the basic audio systems and not the HK, so that makes it even harder to analyze the pros and cons. Please feel free to respond here or send me a PM and maybe we can discuss this further. I really Do appreciate the help. |

Look at other brands... maybe it’s because they refuse to show their specs or maybe it’s because people have said they don’t sound as good at low volumes... But I also haven’t been able to find any reviews on the Focal or Eton with HK... |

Think about it like this. You change your air filter to the x5m filter they are bigger flow more air. Not that big of difference in performance. But if you have bigger turbos and a tune it takes advantage of the ability of getting more air in. |

Yea that's intense. Sick as hell but definitely overkill for what I would ever want to accomplish.

The video is just to show you what the integration that is needed if you want to replace the oem amp. He uses a mobridge da2 that replaces the amp and gives the dsp it's inputs.

I have decided to start my upgrade path with Eton drop in speakers for the front end center. I got them for a great price, so I will just see if I notice a difference between these and the stock HKs...

Interested to hear your thoughts. I wanted to start with upgrading my under seat 8" 'subs' but I was looking at the Etons on Ebay and they are 4ohm compared to Bavsound's 8ohm. I'm so clueless on audio, I don't really know what/how that would effect things.
