A lot of people have been reading this thread and this is the first report of this kind of error. It shouldn't deter people from making modifications to improve the dreadful sound of the BMW system ... but care should be taken.
Also worth pointing out, for a coupe at least, center, rear and under seat speakers are pretty idiot proof. Anyone can tackle those and there's no sense in paying a pro to do that work unless you just have $ to burn.

If you're anxious about anything just have the door speakers done professionally.
