[QUOTE="livinlegend, post: 2536272, member: 573185"] Ok basically I own a 2001 BMW 328i with the factory harmon kardon sound system and a bunch of blown out shitty speakers that are all OEM and need to be exchanged. OEM HU [B]Front[/B]: 2 Front 6 1/2" (bottom mounted) door panel speakers, 2 mid range speakers (3"), 2 tweeters [B]Back[/B]: 2 Back 6 1/2" rear deck speakers. 2 back tweeters. My system currently sounds like shit and just sounds blown out. The volume doesn't go very high, the base sounds like shit and rattles. All that really sounds good are the highs in techno songs. hip-hop sounds like shit and rock is not impressive. I was thinking about replacing all 4 6 1/2 speakers with component systems and putting in new tweeters and everything, then putting in either 1 or 2 10" subs in a ported box in the back. But according to the guys ive talked to, the tweeters probably wont fit into my car's old tweeter ports and Ill have to do some custom work or something. But honestly, I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do with this system? Dump the tweeters and just get full range speakers? According to crutchfield this is going to be hard as **** to replace / retrofit because of the weird tweeter oem setup. I guess what I'm trying to say is... this situation is so ****ed up I dont even know where to start. So say I want good bass, nothing too loud, and really good sound quality. Good highs/lows/mids. Should I just get rid of my tweets and install full range speakers? Or replace my tweeters in front, mids in front, speakers in front, along with the speakers in back. I don't even know where to find mid range speakers, should I keep them or get rid of them? [/QUOTE]
