Question Will M3 Individual Audio Spkrs Work w/HiFi?

Are the mid speakers and rear sail panel speakers from an M3 with 'Individual' audio system compatible with HiFi system?

Purchased M3 door panels that contain the Individual speakers and silver grilles - don't want to install the panels without switching out the speakers 1st of they are not gonna work...

I realize the Ind audio system has a much higher rated amp and more speakers than my current E92 HiFi system does - just need to know if the speakers will function adequately & sound as good, if not better than the HiFi speakers with a lower output HiFi amp - as I am not certain of the Ind speaker specs vs HiFi speaker specs?


And before anyone asks - I already have a buyer for them if they no gonna sound good with my HiFi amp

And bam! There's my answer

I was searching for a post from you that would tell me one way or the other thru the myriad of threads

As always, you come thru - guess I'll leave em' in and go from there

Thanx

Have you checked their impedance?
As most of them have funny impedance compared to hi-fi.

I haven't personally, but I trust Technic info as he knows what the heck he's doing

He has apparently run these speakers with the HiFi system and claims they sound fine

Quote:
I would say that the EPS speakers and the SSMB8, when powered by the new HiFi OEM amp, sound much better than the OEM HiFi speakers. I was running that combo for about a week before installing the rest of the equipment and it was decently enjoyable.

I guess that anything will sound better than the OEM HIFi speakers, everything else being the same.
Here's the thread where he explains an install with the M3 EPS speakers & OEM HiFi amp, E70 X5 HiFi amp (to get 7 ch for center speaker), & finally with aftermarket amps:
