Budget Sound System Upgrade
Hi everyone,
After doing some research (mostly thanks to this awesome thread: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1236238 ), I decided to do a video series on how to upgrade the audio system with a limited budget. Here is the first video in that series and thanks to everyone who contributed to the mentioned thread. I've also included affiliate links for the products I used. More to come soon. Stage1: Remove the center Channel Useful Drill Tool: https://amzn.to/2Ng9NB1 Stage 2: ASD Delete OBDII Adapter: https://amzn.to/2WWk4b9 Stage 3: Speaker Connectors Alpine Speakers: https://amzn.to/2NUji9h Trim Tools and Picks: https://amzn.to/3gpnqdK Wire Stripper Tool: https://amzn.to/2ZDn5xl Stage 4: Door Speakers For this I used the Alpine s40 Speakers: https://amzn.to/2Dsu3Oa Washer: https://amzn.to/2DsucBc Plastic Trim Tools: https://amzn.to/2OjhhDS Last edited by Getzinem; 07-13-2020 at 10:20 PM.. |

Fritz, I disconnected the center channel speaker in my 230I convertible. It made a vast improvement to the sound. Also I think it actually increased the volume. With 5 speakers 20% of the power goes to each speaker. With just 4 speakers I think 25% of the output goes to each speaker.

I have done a lot to my non HK sound system and each change felt significant.
Besides the center channel delete, the best bang for the buck is door speakers with separate tweeters. I started with a pair I got here used for $100. now I have bavsound with the tweeters in the correct spot using the Alpine tweeter brackets.
