I have upgraded everything in my base audio E90 except the rear parcel speakers. I want to upgrade these for the benefit of my rear passengers. I believe the best budget speaker was the Vibe Slick 4, but the link in your sticky says it's discontinued. I found this set on eBay, seems legit to me but thought I'd ask your opinion. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/262200681322?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Are you aware of other products I should consider? Definitely looking for a budget improvement. Rest of system: Pioneer double din HU JL XD 700/5 JL 10w3 sub Audio system x-200 3-way kit Rear OEM speakers are already amplified, just looking to upgrade the speakers themselves. Thanks for any help you can provide (or anyone else that can chime in)!!

I know not ideal, lose control of fader and ability to set individual levels/gains on the front and rear mids, but so far it sounds good as is, just need better clarity from the rear deck.

What kind of music do you listen to? - If the answer is EDM then I kind of understand. However, if you care about staging and having a soundstage in front of you, this is a bad idea.

All I want is a budget friendly replacement for OEM base audio rear speakers... Just so the mids and highs are a little more clear and balanced for my rear passengers. In time I may consider adding more channels via amps, but for now just looking to clean up rear sound a bit.

Do you not have the capability to use the head units speaker outputs to run the rear speakers? That way at least you could use the Fader to control how loud each set of speakers plays, depending on whether or not you have rear passengers. Alternatively, you could install a small cheap 2 channel amplifier to drive the rear speakers, and use the RCA outputs from the head unit's rear outputs and use the Fader when needed. If it sounds like I'm trying to talk you out of your original idea, I am, cause I hate it!

I'm looking for a quick fix for now, that I can still "fix" later if/when the time comes. Your comment about sensitivity is very well received, and makes perfect sense. If I go down this "shortcut" route, it is something that I will look for to maintain some sort of balance. Hopefully I can find the sensitivity of the Audio System kit I have right now (I think it's discontinued) and the vibe slick 4 (also discontinued), so I can at least make an informed decision that way. One of my original questions, when looking at that ebay link I provided earlier, does that appear to be the same vibe slick 4 that you had linked in your sticky? Is there something else in that price range that you'd also suggest? I feel like I'm disappointing you, but hope you understand that it's a constant evolution, and right now I'm not interested in making any major changes until I find the right equipment at the right price.

Are the OEM base audio rear speakers 2ohm? The vibe slick being 4ohm may also help the front/rear balancing issue too.
Currently there's no issue with balance.

The Vibes you linked look to be similar to the previous models, and I know the application is a lot more forgiving than the doors, so I am sure they would physically fit.

Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and find a good 7-ch amp on the cheap, that has a low profile and doesn't heat up, so I can fix all my issues and keep my stealth setup (amp currently hidden under the floorboard in trunk). Appreciate your help, even if I'm being a bit defiant Cheers!

Better to get a different amp first
Better to get a different amp first
that amp doesn't have enough power for good speakers. And the stock speakers are pretty weak to. |

I currently have the following:
JL Tweeters- ZR 100-CT JL Mids- C5-400 OEM under seat subs JL 6/600 I started getting some scratching on my tint near where the speakers are. I can't remember if tint was there before change of speakers. I can't hear or feel any scratching. I think it's either bad tint or installer didn't do a great job as it's taken about 3-4yrs for tint to finally scrap off. Does anyone else have the same Mids C5-400? Any tint issues? Also are the Mids and tweeters run in parallel? I'm thinking of upgrading to Dynaudio. Has anyone put those on? The JLs kick ass just FYI |

I had my speakers rewired to have tweeters, Mids, subs, on their own channel 6/600 (deleted read sound due to small kids in back daily). It has definitely improved the sound and mids fit perfectly with no running on window anymore. So you can add these as tested on the speaker list.
If anyone can suggest the crossover frequency set points they are running it would be good for me to test on mine. Thanks |

All depends on how much you want to spend and how much you like front sound staging. Added an sub amp and sub and must say this thing is damn near perfect. just my .02 cents

Im doing an audio upgrade on a 2008 E92, HiFi set up, but have upgraded the head unit to an NBT (F30) There is plenty of info on E9x audio upgrades using the CCC or CIC headunit, but nothing I can see for a NBT in an E9x... or doesn't it matter ?? Last edited by Socket; 09-22-2016 at 08:31 AM.. |
