So i wanted to get an audio upgrade on my 09 E92 L7 for a long time now. There 3 option out there that work for bmw that i know of. First on the list is MusicarNW (3.9k w/o install), Bavarian stage1 with sub (1.6k w/o install). Then there the local shop suggested Focal K2 and asking for 2.8k with install. So i spend some time demo it. Well.... i know i don't have audiophile ear. But the sound quality as far as i can tell are slightly better than the junk speaker bmw gave us. The tech then assure me that it gonna sound much better when it install in the car. Should i buy it? Have anyone here have heard or have this setup in their car, how was it?

Focal K2 Power 100KRS (4mid-4tweeter)
JL Audio XD700/5
JL Audio CS112RG-W3v3
JL Audio CL441dsp CleanSweep

PS: I will keep this post update/ review when i do the upgrade.

Since you have an L7 system I don 't know why you have a cleansweep in the list.
how are they intending on hooking it up? Amp channels and speakers layout.

Don't do it, 3k doesn't justify the price for the improvements you will be getting since you already have L7.

Although I'm not an audiophile, I do like my music and enjoy high quality speakers, headphones, etc.

I think the L7 does wonderful in the higher ranges, I still believe it lacks a bit of lower-end bass. You should look up optimal settings for L7 up on google, I set mine accordingly and I think it sounds fantastic.

Btw, a family friend installed focals on his Sienna, its night and day when compared to my car.

A)

- code unit to HiFi
- Alpine PXE-H800 DSP
- Arc Mini KS 125.4 amps (2)
- MusicarNW 12" sub enclosure with Arc Mini KS 500.1 amp
- Leave 4" OEM speakers in place but replace OEM center speaker with a DLS 224 coaxial.

That should be $2600 or less, before install.

B)
- replace underseats woofers with Jehnerts XE-200
- replace center speaker with DLS 224 coaxial
- MusicarNW 12" sub enclosure
- RF P400-2 (2) amps

That should be $1600 or less, before install.
