I live in a warmer climate so I almost never used it. While I would expect some degree of air-flow reduction, it probably won't be too bad, as long as you do not block off the majority of the opening with an oversized tweeter mounting plate.

Yes it plugs right in, just look at the pics...

I just read this thread and wanted to give it a try... but my 08' E92 coupe with the L7 system only has midrange speakers in the rear deck and no tweeters. The rear tweeters are in the side panels under the side window, along with another midrange speaker.

So, I guess I'll have to buy a tweeter if I want to give it a try

The rear deck

The rear side panel

Only the Individual Audio have tweeters in the rear deck and center speakers (coaxial).

The tweeters are only like $60 from Tischer.

What is everyone using to mount their tweeter with? I've been trying to think of something but haven't come up with anything I feel comfortable using. I don't want my tweeter falling down the vent when I hit a bump.

I used the top of a cat food can and wedged it under the grill. It's been working perfectly.

WRT the airflow - there's a noticeable drop in air flow from the vent where the tweeter is attached but it's not caused any problems with defrosting.

where is the lowest priced (inc shipping) place to buy the tweeter?

Chefcg1 · 08-26-2013, 04:06 PM

Just did this in my 08 e92 and it was a huge improvement! I wish I did this 4 years ago! Thanks for all the posts and the eq settings!

You'd be better off going aftermarket you'll get better results for less money than the stock logic 7 system. Read the stickies to start out, or give Musicar NW a call.

Najt · 10-10-2013, 04:22 PM

yeah... i find it out later...

but I cant decide which components should I buy. I want only plug and play solution with best audio result.

so replace AMP , sub, mid and high

It's a very complicated and costly upgrade. Not recommended. As suggested above, you can go aftermarket and get better results for less money. READ.

Are some of the pics down?

jwzimm · 01-27-2014, 12:55 AM

Is there a viable coaxial replacement speaker for the center channel? I am not liking the thought of blocking that vent if I can help it.

Maniac0908 · 01-27-2014, 06:17 PM

Is this the right tweeter?

Any ideas? Or diffrent locations? I dont want my windows to fog up and it not defog from this. Or have there been no issues?

Kid Red · 01-28-2014, 08:50 AM

I'd rather not jimmyrig a tweeter that ends up blocking the opening either.

rowingone · 01-28-2014, 09:01 AM

I live in Colorado and did mine . . I dont notice much of a difference with the defrost . . you can always take it out if you have problems but you wont. And you dont notice the missing tweeter in the back speaker. The tweeter is plug and play except for the defrost bracket you have to make so you can always move it back it you want.
