Back at the end of May of this year I attend “THE SHOW” (High end home audio show) in Newport Beach and there was a vendor outside with a new VW Beetle that was selling plug and play upgrade vehicle speakers. My wife drives a 2012 GTI Autobahn with a Dynaudio stereo that comes standard with the Autobahn package. I wish I could remember the name of the vendor and I believe he is out of the Orange County or LA County area. While those speakers were a definite upgrade over the stock (base) system in the GTI I felt the Dynaudio speakers in the Autobahn package were just as good. I am not comparing the speakers from this vendor to BavSound but they rely on the same principal and his speakers were for VW’s only. I am an audio nut and I have no problem spending money for a quality audio upgrade I have reservations about the M3 being taken apart and put back together when installing a full stereo system. I had the system in my Tacoma installed professionally but the installation was not perfect and I found scratches on the interior and panels that had clips broken. The shop took cars of the problems I found. I do appreciate all the input. |

Very cool. Remember it's ok to use a bit for force to pull those door panels off and connect the tweeter filter cable. Post your impression after the install

I did my install the other day. Now my passenger side mirror doesn't dip, so I'm guessing that I forgot to plug a harness back in. I also hear the window make contact with what I think is the wiring on the midrange. I get this on both the driver and passenger side window in front. Rear is quiet as a mouse.
One question for the rest of you... there is a neoprene-like ring that sits between the door and the clips that pop into the door. Some of these rings stick on the door, some stay on the clips and some seem to disappear. Does anybody happen to have a part number for these little things? |

Did anyone else get an extra 4" midrange in the HK kit? I got 15 total speakers, makes me think I missed one but that can't be the case.
I'd suggest anyone about to do this pick up a few extra white plastic door card pins. If there are not entirely lined up a few will get crushed.

Thanks for the heads up on the door pins as I am planning on installing it this Sunday. I wonder if my dealer has these in stock. Might not be a bad idea to pick up a few extras before I start the install. |

Lastly, the very thin gasket that go on the back of each midrange wants to move around and get pinched. I used a mist of 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to hold them on, done at once it's good way to not forget about this small part.

The sound is great, even from HK. I did one side first and used a reference track to listen to each side, clear improvement. Thanks for this mod suggestion.

It's not needed, can't understand why they would send everyone an extra speaker. If anyone in Austin wants it or the HK oem parts please take'm.

I also received an extra mid speaker. Brav told me its because they ran out of center speaker boxes so they just sent out a mid speaker pack instead in order to meet the shipping time frames. Installed mine today. So worth the upgrade. Sound much better.
