BAVSOUND Stage 1 Speaker UPGRADE BMW e46
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- This video is about upgrading the speakers in my BMW 330ci e46. My car came fitted with the Harmon Kardon sound system which I am sure sounded great in 2002. However it is now 2019 and the woofers are cracked on all the mid range speakers. So I first decided to upgrade to a set of eBay drop and swap speakers that were supposable design for the e46...they weren't and on tops of the installation being horrendous the sound quality was awful. So I tore them out and upgraded to the Bavsound stage 1 kit and I couldn't be happier. Only down side is the bass since they do not make a subwoofer upgrade. Hopefully I will have a solution to this soon.
Sound Comparison at the end of the video.

Hello from Bavaria in Germany where BMW comes from xD
Hello!
hab schon gedacht ich bin der einzig deutsche hier :D
Ging mir genauso xD
Where poor quality comes from.
@@Supremepikachu and where are you from? xD
Keep going man! I also have an e46 fl coupe and your videos are just so great and helpful for people who really want to upgrade their e46! Thank you👍🏻
Thanks man!
I upgraded using this kit for my non-HK system about a year ago. The selling point for me was the plug and play factor. There is no doubt these speakers are made of quality materials. When I acquired my car, a lot of the speakers were blown so it made sense. The sound quality is ok. The biggest limitation in either system is the amplifier. It would be great if there was a plug and play solution out there for the amp!
Yes I know if the car had a better amp they could be so much better
I've been eye balling this for so long. Can't wait for the vid to drop. I need an honest review.
Review will be coming. My first impressions are at the end of the video with a sound clip.
Yess finnaly someone normal not someone who converting his car to be toy with bunch of lights 😁👍
Been looking at them for ages, but no real install other than bav guys. Also no shipping to South Africa
dayton audio is not crappy... just not designed to be used with the HK system my dude.
I think HK sound better that the aftermarket
You mean than these bavasound?
Factory option HK is superb .... the only reason it gets a bad rap is because the subs mids and tweeters quit working after 20 years. Just find a good set and re install them and your will be mind blown how good it was. I just repaired and replaced our system and it sounds as good as my JBL components and 8 inch sub.
1. Why would anybody need to reinstall this foam insulation ring around the new door woofer, which completely restricts the speaker from performing according to its potential? 2. Why would anybody bother to invest any time or money to the side panel speakers, which contribute nothing at all to the system? 3. Why do you keep repeating the expression "crappy ebay speakers"? As far as I can tell and from what I saw the door woofer you replaced war just fine, the rear panel woofer was a Dayton Audio, which is far more than decent and probably equal to the Bavs from the technical perspective? (btw, who is Bavaudio? what's their background? what's the heritage? what's the hype about?)
Eventually when I can start being able to save money, I’ll have the $600 for the full upgrade. I’m not worried about the rear side tweeters but the doors and rear deck need to be done 😂 hope all is well bro.
Which amplifier can i use for an bmw e46 converible with harman kardon
Hello from Greece. Thanks about all this information for BMW E46 coupe. Keep going .
Dayton audio is def. not crap. Generally highly regarded in the DIY Hifi scene.
Sounds like absolute junk in the e46 with the HK amp
Was going to say the same, pissed me off hearing Dayton audio called crap.
My left door sounds really weak what should i check tnx
try switching wires
I need help. I’m thinking of ordering these for my E46 but I’ve already spliced the harness off of my rear deck speakers. Will that affect the install at all?
No you can use spade connections to plug into the bavsound harness
@@EvanGoyuk does Bavsound tell you which wires to connect to?
Yes
Wonder can anyone answer this question. Any idea wht there is no wires running to my speakers on mid are connected. No wires for tweeters or other small speakers. BMW cant ever tell me why
Someone else did this, this isn’t factory
You got such tasteful mods man 😂🔥
Wait until the cinnamon interior goes in
Yessir can’t believe someone at BMW thought dove grey was a good interior color :/
Rossell Castillo so true. I’m looking for a black dashboard for a reasonable price/ close to me and we can get this started
@@rossellcastillo9838 You have bad taste lmao, i like it got a 316ti and its beautiful! Matches my chassis color better than the boring standard black where dust can be seen an annoy you.
Ive been told that i Can put 165mm speakers in the rear sides aswell as the front. I bought alpine r Series 165mm front and rear, with tweeters front. Can anyone comfirm that it Will fit behind?
What are the wires you use to connect the rear speakers ?
Do you have dsp audio and what headunit do you have ..i upgraded hu and sub woofer sounda amazing hit me up i show you my set up
The e46 never came with DSP audio. I have the avant 4 and I am looking to add a subwoofer soon
Mids sound cut and highs sound a lot louder compared to the HK speakers, but you can't really hear the difference very well on youtube haha.
I completely agree
@@EvanGoyuk Do the midrange speakers give enough mids and response in real life for you?
Yes but it could be a bit more
@@EvanGoyuk I suppose that's what subs are for
True
the ones that you've changed in the front door (the big one at bottom of the door ) weren't HARMAN CARDON ! they weren't even OEM ones!
Groundzero bro believe me 😎😉
Great video! I have a vert and have been back & forth between the BAV system or a generic ebay brand, thank you for helping me make the better choice. Did you bypass the HK amp or leave it in your system? If you did bypass, any tips on how to do it the correct way?
Definitely DO NOT BUY THE EBAY KIT. Go for Bav sound and no I do not bypass it
@@EvanGoyuk Thanks for the response. I can't wait to get my bavsound speakers in 🤙
What size are the door speakers? Are the coupe and touring the same size?
They are unique sizes and yes
Does this system require more power?
No
Bro the screen radio can you give the link so can i buy it ?
I’m not sure which one that is but u can finds one just like it at avin usa
Hello from switzerland
Is there a way to deliver it to switzerland?
Good Video with Great information.
I just ordered my stage one kit for my 2004 330ci I can’t wait to install.
Could you please let me know where you got your stereo head unit link or the name ? Thank you
Avin avant 4
@@EvanGoyuk thanks a million!! 👍🏼
I have a 330ci too ... can you give me your review after install ?
@@66LI99 the difference is NIGHT AND DAY !
After breaking them in for 1-2 weeks on low-medium, I can fully turn my speakers up and they play super loud, crisp and clear.
installation took me like 2-3 hours making sure I didn’t damage my clips.
If you have the old hk system these speakers are a MUST!
@@francisco2fast4u thank you very much and yeah i have HK ! So i will put them on my list as what to upgrade ! 🤩
could you pass the radio link !? Thanks :)
Me: comes here to see how to remove the back speakers
Him: “Sorry, I can’t show you”
😂
super video !! thx men ! like
Hey bro I have an e39 528i 1999. So my speakers are shot the sound is very muffled now since the cars 21 years old. I have the original radio and speakers. The radio I’m looking to keep thought unless I need to change it. But the speakers I’m looking at changing out and using Bavsound. Do you think I would need a new radio or just the speakers will do fine ? Thanks bro !
Changing both makes more sense
What speakers did you buy off eBay? I found someone who claims has better speakers than bavsound and theirs are plug and play as well
The eBay speakers are not better nor are they plug and play. DO NOT BUY EBAY SPEAKERS. I promise you they will not sound good and the Bavsound ones are better
@@EvanGoyuk did they happen to be these?
www.ebay.com/itm/282252520969
I'm just not sure what way to go, Fab my own brackets for aftermarket speakers or the bavsounds/ebay
@@ryanomara5866 yup those are them complete garbage. Don't worry about the bavsound ones not coming with subs your factory subs sound way better.
@@EvanGoyuk pretty sure my subs are blown 😭 that's why I was looking for replacements. It's either blown subs or loose plastic covers.
My buddy just got the bavsound for his e39 so I'm waiting for him to get them all in to see how it sounds
Are they much better than the OEM HK ?
Yes, a huge difference! Night and day difference
I have an aftermarket subwoofer already installed , do Roy think these will adjust fine ?
Yes it will be fine
Evan Goyuk thank you . Will you have any uploads regarding exhaust soon ?
what subwoofer do u have and is it's a e46
what size are the front door speakers
Bmw uses odd sizes so it’s not standard
Ordered mine today. Can’t wait for them to arrive !
It’s a great upgrade
whats your review?
1year later what do you think?
not fiberglass shoudl be kevlar
i just want to replace my drivers side HK tweeter , do they only sell kits
was your drivers side HK tweeter still good , i live in MA,Boston basically and would buy it
really do not want to press my door panel though i am afraid of the clips breaking
They only sell a full car kit. My tweeters were completely cracked and sounded very bad. My clips didn’t break and were very cheap
@@EvanGoyuk ok ok thanks
yup that is what i thought , i didn't want to spent that but for what they are asking for a replacement tweeter these days might as well just get the kit if i decide to do it
one tweeter is almost half the cost of the whole kit
I highly recommend this kit easy to install and sounds great!
Evan Goyuk in your opinion how does it sound compared to the hk? My hk system still sounds pretty good but I might upgrade later on if it’s worth it.
I think it is worth the price for an upgrade!
Do you have DSP in your Radio? If so, does it work with the bavsound to get even better sound?
My radio does not have the DSP chipset
I wann’s get the avant 4 too.
Do you have wireless carplay?
Yes
Does the isolation also fits on rainbow speakers?
turip ip ip, ip ip
Do you have to disconnect the battery?
No but I recommend it
harman kardon is really better na ?
So wait, speakers cost ~$450 and they need to be glued to the missing plastic component?
Unfortunately this is only a down side
I have to change my head unit because my speakers are horrible with bav upgrade
I have not heard of this before
Evan Goyuk I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. Idk if my speakers are blown but it doesn’t sound good at all. I’m using a Bluetooth connector and it sounds horrible. When I switch to cd it’s still not that good. I have to find someone with an e46 and compare
Where are you located?
Evan Goyuk nyc, I would love to find someone with the bav so I can compare
Come up to Massachusetts lol
Will this work in a sedan??
do you use a amp in your car?
What song was that @19:00 The Intro was 🔥🔥🔥
You can see everything to the rear deck lid speakers by looking at the mirror image in the rear window, no worries.
Great video! Btw what is your leather colour code? Thanks
Nice video, I ordered the speakers as well. I had the Hi-Fi system and most speakers were already blown. Thing is that I can’t turn the music up too high because there will be distortion. Could it be the amp? Maybe the head unit? I have a Xtrons sitting in the dash atm but was thinking of getting something else. I’ve played around with the audio setting on the xtrons but no change. Could it be the amp?
MFG
you figure anything out for this dog? same boat
also there's not a lot of bass from these speakers
Man, I haven’t been able to get to getting the speakers right yet. But that’s going to come up next. A buddy has a dynavin N8 head unit so we will try that and also try and get a amp switched in. I’m thinking that the factory amp is too weak to push the speakers and the xtrons radio only has 4x45 watts compared to the 4x100 on the dynavin.
What type of touch screen is that ?
What headunit is that?
Avin USA avant 4, best android headunit for the e46!!
how did you connected it to harman kardon wiring harness , have you had oem navigation before or
What head unit is that?
hey what stereo are you using with apple car play?
Avin avant 4 only radio I use
Evan Goyuk thx man 🙏
Which model was it? looking to get one for a 2003 350i
I’m not sure the model off the top of my head but go to Avin USA
Alright thanks can this also boot straight into apple car play?
16:30 blasphemy.
Hey what carplay stereo do you have, looks pretty good
Avin avant 4
Have you found a sub yet?
Great review! I am considering this upgrade. However, I have the OEM headunit. What headunit do you have on yours? Does it make a difference in sound quality compared to a OEM headunit?
I have the Avin USA avant 4. No it doesn’t make difference
I have an ground zero speakersystem combined with two pioneer underseat subs in my 4 door sedan. The sound of the bavsound is nothing compared to these and even these arent top notch. A friend of mine has the JBL Stage without subs and its even better. But keep up your work your videos are great.
Is there a kit specific to bmw .. id like to check it out
@@LIONKING1103 It's not really a kit. But i could send you the links to the products. I just don't know how😅
Keep us posted on the subwoofer upgrade ideas! Subscribed
I will! I bought the amp need to find a good way of store a sub
Evan Goyuk I just had the JL PowerWedge installed in my X6. It’s a vertically compact 12” sub. See my review here on YT. I highly recommend. Also, I did the FULL BAVSound upgrade.
Its a avin4 ??
Yessir, I love it and have no complaints. By far the best radio for the e46 hands down!!!
How long have you had the radio for? I'm curious because the Android units I've seen tend to fail after a few months...
Why didn't u upgrade to newer Harman kardon?
These sound better
@@EvanGoyuk ok I have an e46 330i and it has Harman kardon speakers but I feel like it needs an upgrade do u still have these bavsound?and how much wud it cost to get all of them including the subwoofers.
The kit is around 500. Unfortunately it does not come with a subwoofer upgrade
@@EvanGoyuk ok cool thanks for the info
Whats the measurements of the speakers 6x9 or 5 1/4
