Wrong. BMW speakers are around 3 ohms which is categorized as 4-ohm load.
I am in the process upgrading my Hi-Fi sound system AKA US standard 10-speaker sound system.
First, I bought MB Quart RVF-210 component speakers (4" mid, 0.75" tweeter) and replaced the existing BMW speakers. OEM head cannot drive MB Quart as hard as OEM speaker. I meant the sound is not as lout as OEM ones. The sound is lower significantly. Now, I know that the BMW sound output is a wimp.
I then bought a 6-channel Infinity amp (model 5761a) with speaker level inputs. It's RMS power is 50Wx4 and 107Wx2 (sub). I found this would suit best for my current OEM sound system setup - 2 front, 2 rear, 2 subs under seat.
It took more than 100ft of speaker wires to make it happen. Here are the break down. You're wondering why?
I need to grab speaker level input for front left and right from MAS-K => 2 pairs of wire go from MAS-K to the trunk as speaker level to the amp
2 pairs speaker wires to the front left and right crossover + wires to mid+ tweaters from amp in the trunk/boot.
2 pairs of speaker wire for two subs from amp in the trunk/boot.
2 pairs of speaker wire for rear left and right speaker line as speaker level input to the amp
2 pairs of speaker wire to the rear left and right crossover + wires to mid + tweeters from amp

It took me endless time to do the wiring. Make sure the you run the speaker wire on the left hand side where there is no power cable running from battery to the front. This make wiring front right speaker a real pain in the arse/ass.

The sound quality is greatly improved. It's more crisp and clear compared to OEM speaker, but lack of bass because I have not tap the bass signal from OEM amp input to the Infinity amp. I'm going to do it tonight and hopefully I can complete it

Any question, please let me know.

Best Regards,
My530i

you have a wiring diagram for the mas-k connection at the back of the headunit?

Just curious, but where are the 10 speakers in the standard BMW set up? I can only find 9 in my car.

A possible solution, worked for me. You could scale back what I did, but the LOC and MMM are very important.
