bmwking Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 As the title says. It's time to upgrade the mids and highs in my bimmer. I want to utilize stock locations and sizes. I listen to everything from decaf to black metal and everything in between. Sub stage is 2 XFL1244s in an AB spec SPL box run by a ph4000md, mids and highs will be run by an eXcelon 542. HU is a CDE-HD149BT. Thanks in advance!
fordpride Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 I like the Rockford Fosgate p165se If you shop around you can find them under 150
dolarbilz Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 Lots good options for 5.25 out there.just go to ebay and find what best suits you.everybody has there own opinion. With that hu I believe you can run active .not sure on your amp if its a four or two channel..do you like alot of midbass? Do you like loud? I seen some jbl,realm,pionner, that look pretty good.really depending what you want.everybody ears hear different.

bmwking Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Posted November 10, 2015 anyone ever use or hear zapco i-5.2?
bmwking Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Posted November 10, 2015 well after a little more research it seems going custom is going to be my best option as i have 3 speakers in each door: 5.25" woofer 2" mid range 3/4" tweet other than madisound, where else should i be looking? also what should i look for when sourcing a crossover?
bmwking Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Posted November 10, 2015 also, are AMT tweeters not suitable for high spl environments?
never knows best Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 tbh stock BMW 3-way system might already be better than a $150 3-way set...
