2010 E92 Base System Upgrade

Hi, I would like to upgrade my 2010 E92 Base audio system and needed some guidance. I do not want to spent a lot of money and I will not be doing the install so looking for the most bang for the buck.

I was thinking to do the following to to keep it least invasive:

Replace Front Speaker with Logic 7 speakers (Already have L7 speakers)

Add the L7 tweeters Can someone give me the BMW PN for the Sails to install the tweeters

Add XD600/6 or MS-8

I am not planning on replacing the underseat speakers rear speakers.

Do you guys think this is a good idea ? I am open to suggestions and also looking to find a good shop in Nor Cal to do this upgrade for me.

You will need a JL cleansweep

You will need a JL cleansweep or some other kind of
processor or amp/processor to flatten out the head unit
output.

If you haven't bought anything yet I would get in touch with these
guys for a a one stop shopping solution.

http://www.musicarnw.com/page-2/

They can sell you a kit with everything needed that plugs into the factory connectors. It comes all setup so no soldering or crimping and little if any
adjusting is needed.

If you really don't want to replace the underseats I think you might be OK
with just the amp and JL Cleansweep. If you want fantastic bass you should
replace the underseats though.

I would prefer, where I can take it in and I don't have to mess around with anything ? Can a shop tune my system or do I need to have JL Cleansweep ?

This is why you need a processor

You can't tune out the factory eq

You are very likely to fry the under seats with an amp.

Also most shops are not competent on BMW's

MS-8 works GREAT with (and only with) L7 speakers. Underseats require external amplification.

What are your thoughts about the following system, in comparison to VP's Stage 1:

Audison Bit Ten sound processor
(2) Audio System 8” subs for under seat
Focal 100 VRS – front
Focal 100 CVX – rear
JL Audio XD 700/5 or Alpine PDX-5

If you have a better recommendations I am open to that. I dont want it to be invasive so I am not interested in center console speaker. Do you think tweeters are a must ?
