Where did you get them from? How much? Diy or better professionally installed?
I bought Focals off eBay for $550 delivered (new). Should be easy to find it, it's from a local retailer. You will also need the door sail tweeter housing since the Hifi doesn't system have them. They're sold with HK tweeters inside for about $150 a pair from Schmiedmann.

There are videos from Focal and from Bavsound that will help with install. You could also dynamat the doors while you're at it, but I didn't as I was lazy.

I bought the amp from Bimmertech. There are a few other options but I think Bimmertech is currently one of the best options in terms of quality and ease of installation (although it's about $1,000). There's a long thread on the F30 forums about the amp. I downloaded some new tune files from the F30 thread the other day and it's a big improvement over stock.
