Easy OEM+ upgrade for BMW

Great, easy upgrade from stock. My 02 325xi wagon with 180k miles had its original speakers and all ten were blown, one tweeter was completely dead. After a year and a half and 26k miles of barely being able to enjoy my music in my daily / road trip car I finally decided to pull the trigger on this kit. Night and day difference, they sound excellent, comparable to the Infinity Reference series speakers I have in my other cars but a direct bolt-in with no worries about matching impedances to the factory amp and head unit. Even with the extra disassembly needed for the wagon hatch area (and gluing back together the plastic panels that shattered upon removal...old bimmer things) from start to finish the install took like an hour and a half in my driveway.

Pros: Super easy install, good sound quality, nice packaging

Cons: Crossovers for front door tweeters are a little tight on wire length to tuck them so the door cards fit properly. Adapter pigtails for midranges are way too long (at this price point, they ought to just source the OEM style connectors). Plugging the midbass speakers in with bare blade contacts feels janky for a kit at this price point. Gluing in the mids also feels janky, but I suppose the OE rear ones are glued in so its not that different.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
