Aftermarket Replacement Speakers List

Before I installed my new aftermarket system I did a ton of research and I ended up compiling a list of component speakers that had midrange drivers shallow enough to fit the front doors in my E90. I thought I'd share the info so here it goes:

[Note: Aftermarket amplification is required for ALL speakers listed, except BSW and OEM speakers!]

- Note: Best used as midbass driver (bandpassed). Requires 3/4" spacer ring and Morel grille to protect cone & surround from floor carpet.

- Note: According to Technic, much better midbass driver than SWS-8, but not as good at sub-bass frequencies (30-40Hz), i.e. you will need an additional sub. Requires 1/2" spacer ring to fit enclosure and 1/4" shim underneath OEM grilles. Carpet needs to be cut away under seat rails to prevent surround hitting it but looks stock once seats installed.

- Jehnert XE 200

- Installation Link: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=451762
- Note: Requires spacers (thickness unknown). Manufacturer recommends the use of a subsonic filter starting at 80 Hz, suggesting this driver is optimized for mid-bass ("kick bass") and perhaps not well suited for sub-bass.

- Morel MW 265-4
- Top Mount Depth: 69 mm
- Product Link: https://www.madisound.com/store/prod...products_id613
- Installation Link: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...0&postcount=18
- Note: Requires spacers (min. 3/4" thick but may vary depending on car and model year).

- Renaissance WR-8
- Top Mount Depth: 69 mm
- Product Link: http://www.renaudio.com/carstereo/WR-8.htm
- Note: Dimensions seem to be identical to the Morel MW265-4. I am still checking to see if there are any substantial differences between the two. This driver has a very high power handling (200W) and a very low resonant frequency (30Hz) so it can almost be used like a subwoofer. Requires spacers (min. 3/4" thick but may vary depending on car and model year).

- Aurasound NSF8
- Top Mount Depth: 36 mm
- Product Link: http://www.quint-audio.com/qaudio/files/nsf8-495-4a.pdf
- Note: Specs suggest driver is designed for very small sealed enclosures. Output below 80Hz may not be "desirable" in this application. Limited excursion capabilities.

Feel free to post additional sets or corrections and I will be happy to update the list from time to time.


Mounting depth:

Reportedly, e92 & e93 front doors have only about 43 mm mounting depth, measured from the grille side of the speaker adapter.

E90 doors have roughly 50 mm depth.

In order to fit, most speakers need to be mounted with the flange sitting in between the adapter and the OEM grille, see pic below.



Underseat enclosures:


In order for a particular driver to give the desired results, it is important to put it into the correct enclosure. Some drivers are designed for extremely small enclosures, others for extremely large ones (Infinite Baffle). Much speculation has been voiced over the years (including myself) regarding the exact volume and type of the enclosures (sealed, ported, or Infinite Baffle). After some extensive research, here is what I have found:

- The underseat enclosures have an internal volume of approx. 0.08 ft3 (measured myself) and are made out of plastic
- The enclosures are connected to the car's side sill cavities via a "port" which is roughly 1.5" high and 7" wide.
- The side sill cavities are roughly 1.4 ft3 in volume (measured by Lee Rambler)
- The side sill cavities are "wet cavities" (translated from German) meaning they are not completely sealed and they are "more or less" open to the outside (holes filled with plastic plugs that leak air).
- The port between the underseat enclosure and the side sill is too small and acts like a "Helmholz-Resonator" which has a dampening effect on frequencies between 70 and 200Hz.

There are subwoofer modeling programs available to predict the performance of various drivers in all types and sizes of enclosures, but it has proven pointless to interpret the results of individual drivers due the the "unknown enclosure type and size factor" and especially due to the "Helmholz-Resonator" effect which makes this application virtually impossible to model with conventional methods. However , while the absolute results of modeling cannot be interpreted, there is still value in analyzing the relative results. So if we know for a fact - through overwhelming positive feedback on this forum - that a particular driver works "well" in this application, then we can assume that other drivers that model similarly, would also produce similar results. ("well" in this case has a very subjective meaning, but it should basically mean that the driver produces a relatively flat frequency response in its intended frequency range. Note that most of the above are midbass drivers, where the intended FR is between 50 and 200Hz, and some are woofers or subwoofers, where the intended FR is 30 - 100Hz).

The "benchmark driver", so to speak, in my mind can only be the Jehnert XE200, since the response from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. It has been reported that its FR is fairly linear (without any major peaks), that is produces tight, clean bass notes down to about 40Hz, and that it has excellent midbass up to the cutoff frequency (around 150 - 200Hz in most cases) to ensure a seamless transition with the door mids. Note that I have not tested this particular driver myself, so I personally cannot weigh in on the sound of the "benchmark driver".

With that said, I went ahead and modeled all the above drivers I had the required specs for. I used three different enclosures, a "small" sealed box with 0.5 ft3 total air space, a "large" sealed box with 1.5 ft3 air space, and a simulated Infinite baffle enclosure with 999 ft3. The results can be found on page 6 of this thread.

Morel ADMW9 underseat (slight mod).

Morel Dotech and Hybrid Ovation can be mounted behind grille but flushed into door card to save more depth for E92 (don't take depth as a hard figure) due to small outer diameter and optional mounting tab clips.

MBQ RUA210/RUA213 still available from some retailers but replaced by new model (number escapes me - on MBQ site, though).

Hertz HSK100 kit (4" and tweeter) but may not be made any longer - was not on old Hertz site when it was produced, and is not now with new freshened line...

wonder how those mb quart 5.25's sound? would make for a better crossover to the 8's if they seal to the door panel right, and if they are clear of the opening....

I'd be curious too - haven't had the doors off (am very hesitant to do so, like the lack of squeeks and rattles I have now....). More than mounting, I'd be concerned about the sound being as the hole is smaller than the driver - would possibly cause beaming and combing of the sound?

The cutout is still larger than the cone so no worries!

Has any one tried these new Pioneer flat 8" subs under the seats. It appears that they might fit as well. The other woofer I was looking at is this kicker. I am looking to get mid bass more than sub base as I will be adding an IDQ12 in the trunk.

Actually, when you look at the side view, they don't appear to fit at all. Been suggested before. Frame too wide.

No idea what the backside of those Kickers look like.

tried to download the t/s's for those kicker midbasses, and to get a pic of the backside, but kicker's site is not working right. might be a good option for the $? t/s's would help a ton. that and knowing if they'd fit. I looked at the JL ZR 8's too, but they won't fit. pricey too.
