Bumping this in hopes someone has a handy list of all the interior clips I am bound to break/destroy in my quest to install this kit. Part numbers / quantities would be greatly appreciated!

I just did this so it's pretty fresh in my mind. Quantities for door clips should be for both doors, I would order more though just for good measure, plus the door clips are not bad to have. I may be forgetting something but this should probably cover your needs. I had to replace a lot more since I was putting everything back in the car...Originally posted by T-Rex View PostBumping this in hopes someone has a handy list of all the interior clips I am bound to break/destroy in my quest to install this kit.

Honestly not sure how I missed this after almost a year…No sub upgrade, and I know the vert sub sucks. I’m not interested in crazy bass, but clear sound would be nice. I also screwed up and have an N6, not an N7. Thinking about upgrading to the D9. But the distortion is most definitely from the door speakers. Cant get passed like 2/3-3/4 volume, bass turned down a few clicks. Sounds awful. Driving on the higway, may as well turn it off. The stock HK speakers could get louder with less distortionOriginally posted by maw1124 View Post
Did you upgrade the sub? N7 in a vert more or less requires an upgraded sub. The distortion you're hearing is probably the sub and not the speakers. That ski pass sub is trash. I have the same setup, but the sub is what makes it go. No sub upgrade, no go.
maw
Was going to get carphonics amp upgrade to see if that helps

Reviving this thread from the dead.
I have bought the Bavsound set for the HK system for the e46 coupe, as I wanted something that installs like OEM without any modification.
I'm no audiophile, I just like listening to music in the car and would like something a bit better than the 22 year old speakers that are currently installed.
I also wanted to update the shelf deck mounted subwoofer, but I can't find any 6" x 9" bass speaker that has a 2 ohms impedance and that is available where I am located, in France.
The only real option that I have found so far is the Powerbass OE-690D
OE-690D 6X9" DVC 2Ω / 8Ω OEM UPGRADE REPLACEMENT WOOFER Completely redesigned and re-engineered for today’s modern vehicles, our new OE Series was designed to upgrade factory systems to deliver the musical performance you demand. The OE Series OE-690D was developed to replace old and worn out paper cone woofers in many late model vehicles providing you with tight accurate bass response in a much longer lasting form that offered from the factory. Utilizing a dual voice coil design, the OE-690D can accommodate a 2Ω or 8Ω impedance need by the OEM amplifier. This variable impedance will make more efficient use of your amplifier's power and allow for fitment into more applications. To handle this power we include upgraded features like the custom tooled stamped baskets, our new Injected PP/Carbon Fiber Cones to produce the best in distortion free sound reproduction, Butyl Rubber Surrounds for high efficiency, increased bass response and long life, and larger motor structures to handle increased power.*NOT DESIGNED FOR USE WITH AFTERMARKET HEADUNITS AND AMPLIFIERS*
But, shipping to France is crazy expensive.
That looks like a good candidate, that can handle more power than the OE speakers, and that has the correct impedance to use as much as possible the small HK amplifier
Is there any other option ? I'm not really convinced by the Rockford Fosgate 4 Ohms option referenced in this thread.2004 E46 M3 • TiAG / LSB nappa

for the woofers just make sure they are not too thick or they wont fit in the original HK woofer basket if you have the factory rear sunshade option.Originally posted by Flow View PostReviving this thread from the dead.

Following! Curious how this turns out for youOriginally posted by Flow View PostBought a pair of PowerBass OE-690D.
They won't be here anytime soon though, but I'll report back on if they work correctly or not.
