Has anyone upgraded sound system in 750?
Thinking of upgrading my OEM sound system. Can someone recommend what speakers I should get. Preferably same size.
Any good sound installers in Chicago area? Thank you. |
See my signature.

I'm viewing it on iPhone. Sorry cant see signature. Do you mind writing what you have and where you got it. Did you get all same size speakers? Thank you.

2010 750i M Sport, Dinan Stage 3, 22" Agetro rims, H&R sport springs, RDsport front lip, video in motion, AlpineMSS HID 8000k. All exterior chrome, roof, roof spoiler and everything behind wheels painted black, wing, side and rear reflectors and door handle trim painted white, light smoke on tail lights. Audio: focal separates, earthquake low profile subs under front seats (crossed over as mid base to support the tiny 4" fronts), arc audio amps, audiocontrol lcq-1 and epicenter, (2) L7 subs.

Same size speakers. Any decent local audio shop can install it.

Just about 5k.
Listened to my buddies new M5 with the B/O system, we then climbed into my car. He was not happy at all. Went back to his car, he frantically messed with his settings, trying to get any sort of decent bass and depth out of his system. The B/O system is decent, but desperately needs a low end. It does sound better than mine in high and mid clarity and separation, just needs about 2k worth of low end. Anyone who's had any time around quality car stereo systems knows that a full range system, even one not as dynamic, sounds worlds better. |
The B/O system with 2k worth of low end would sound incredible.

A local stereo shop gave me a quote last night of $11049.
"Audison" Bit one digital processor $997 Focal 100 KRS 4" K2 speakers $649 x 2 = $1298 Amp JL Audio HD 600/4 $597 x 2 = $1194 Amp JL Audio HD 750/1 $697 JL Audio amp kit $279 RCA cables $390 Kinetik KHC 800 800 power cell $187 x 2 = $374 Dynamat bulk pack $167 JL Audio thin woofer 13TW5V24 $597 x 2 = $1194 Labor $2560 Can anything be eliminated or substituted for less expensive? Wasn't looking to drop $11K for this upgrade :) Any info would be helpful. Thank you again. |
That's a joke of a price...I actually only paid 4k, but the shop does all my cars and gives great deals, so 5k is more realistic.
Let me work on this for you... |
def get video in motion for the 7......

I used JL Audio Cleansweep and signal summing in my car. Battery and factory amps are both in trunk so it is an easy install. Once those are installed you can replace all factory speakers or just add low end. I added only low end (2 JL Audio 10's) and built out custom trunk myself. All in for parts about 1800-2,000.00 Labor about 1,000.00 if you added a four channel amp another 1k and separates another 1k

BTW way I had Focal K2 power series separates and coax in my last car and left them in it. Honestly, unless you are an audiofile or want serious volume (blow out your eardrums) you can go with a nice pair of JL's seperates and spend half the money. Go with a HD 750 for subs if you go 10's or HD 1200 if you go 12's or HD 750 for one JL 13 and HD600/4 for seperates. Good power is soooooo much more important than good speakers. Decent speakers, great power=great sound. Great speakers, decent power=decent sound. You can find all this stuff online for about half the retail. Should be able to put together a kick a** system for three grand plus install. (1000.00)
