Speaker Upgrade
I'm looking for a sound upgrade for my F10 with Pro nav the stock speakers are useless. What speakers will fit in place of the stock ones? I'm not looking for a retrofit as that's to expensive. I bought some FLI speakers for a passat I had and they were a direct swap and really good!

I'd looked at the BavSound ones too. Mine has ProNav, but seems to be the lowest speaker set up, and doesn't even have tweeters on the A-pillars! Looks like their basic set up comes with new tweeters and replacement original BMW tweeter housings. Seems to be a decent option with minimal installation work.

Yea make sure you buy the tool kit. It helps a lot. I would skip the sound deadening stuff, it's not worth it unless you're replacing the amps too.
I would wait for a sale too since they have those pretty often. Unless they're at least 40% off, don't bother buying them. |

can you wire a sub and amp into the back of pronav? then I could delegate all bass to the sub and all treble and mid to the speakers. I could swap the stock speakers out for some others like JHL or FLI then I'll have the same sound setup I had in my passat which would be epic!! as long as I can fade bass out to the rear (sub or subs)

Yes !! I've been looking at some JVC audio speakers to upgrade all 6 speakers. To be fair I've actually used the fader to fade more of the bass to the rear and it sounds 10 times better. Hardly any distorted base now. So quick fix for bass is to use the fader and fade it slowly into the rear until it's just right. Also gives more of a surround sound aswell

Check either Bavsound Stage One Speaker Upgrade or Focal BMW Retrofit speaker kit (IFBMW-S for the Front\A Pillar & IFBMW-C for the Rear), the front A pillar tweeters can be added easily using OEM parts.

Just FYI. I have the 16 speaker Harmon Kardon system. I upgraded with the Bav Sound Stage 1 system. If anyone wants the original 14 speakers(cause there's no subwoofer upgrade) for free, let me know. I'm in DC, just PM me and pick it up. I'm not going to waste my time and money shipping it.
I have not installed it in the 2 rear doors because I have the blinds in it and doesn't know how to properly open the door panels. If anyone can let me know, that'll be great. I'm planning on doing it this weekend because it's warm. |

I've been patiently waiting for their subs to drop for quite some time now...
The latest update I got from them (back in February) was that the subs for the F10 were "still in the works and nearing competition." |
