Hi all,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am an owner of a 2005 520i.
In my car I have the standard sound system.
That is not the HiFi 10 speakers system. It is the same system but with only 8 speakers, since I don't have the two subwoofers (which are not subwoofers) under the front seats.
I knew from the beginning that neither the HiFi system nor the Logic7 system sounded good. When I heard both I was really disappointed, so I decided to save the money and upgrade the sound system later.
Now I wanted to know the size of the door midrange speakers. Also did anyone replace them? I own a set of Alpine Type-X components and I would like to install them in my front doors.
Also as a hint for all of you who want to upgrade their sound system. JL audio has created a product called CleanSweep. This is an anti-equalizer that detects the frequency curve produced by the headunit then compensates for the lowered frequencies so that you can get a decent flat frequency curve insteat of the stupid curve produced by the headunit.
I am thinking of installing CleanSweep, then connecting the two front Alpine Type-X comps and my amp and sub.
So does anyone know what size are the speakers in the front doors?

So no one knows the size of the door speakers?
Please try to help me on this matter.
Thanks.

The standard stereo (europe) comes with NO tweeter, so this was a big improvement.
Oh - and you DO have "subs" under your seats. Every audio option does, but with "standard" it is wired in parallel with the front speakers.
