Upgrading Hi-Fi (S676A) with Tweeters
Just upgraded my factory Hi-Fi audio system (S676A - HIFI LAUTSPRECHERSYSTEM).
It's a shame that 2-Series OEM Hi-Fi doesn't have tweeters... Pure marketing. So what I did: Alpine Corner Moulding Left 51332349058 Alpine Corner Moulding Right 51332349059 Alpine Logos 65132230426 (2 in the pack) + Harman Kardon Front Door Speaker 65139226357 x2 I also suggest upgrading Middle Door Speakers with Harman Kardon 65139364956 (x2) And you can also add one more tweeter to your central panel 65139226358 (x1) - as Top-HiFi presume - but it's if you planning to change the amp too IMHO. |

Looks great. Bet it sounds better. How much of pain was it to get the door panels off (broken clips?) and any rattles afterwards? I’m tempted to change out my speakers but concerned about door rattle.

Yes, it sounds better now. I even turned down the level of the highs on my equalizer, as they are too loud now (due to factory Hi-Fi amp specifics I guess). No pain at all, you just need to remove the pads on the door and unscrew the bolts at the bottom. Had no broken clips, but yes it is better to do everything gently.

I installed some Focals in the same place and found that I needed to turn down the tone setting by 4 clicks. It is nice to get the tweeters up higher and I can crank up the volume without distortion or breakdown of the sound. |

No. But there are no separate connection ports for tweeters on the Hi-Fi system. That's why I suggest changing them with Harman Kardon mids - 6513936495 - they have such separate ports. Alternatively, you can stay with the Hi-Fi mids and clamp both twitter and the mid-in wires into one port.

Speaker numbers look to be the same I'm guessing based on the shared wiring with the mids that the crossovers are built into the tweeters? |

I priced out the above at roughly $560..were you able to find a good deal?
That seems a little crazy as far as just replacing door speakers and adding tweeters. |
