I bought the F30 with nothing... Standard radio without bluetooth, 6 speakers - just good enough to listen the news... In March I retrofitted the HU_Nav + emulator + bluetooth & GPS antenna + microphone + USB socket & cable... First of all, Dave - excellent job done! Thank you for all tips. In April i've added Gladen 201 midds and tweeters. I can confirm sound quality improved significantly. Even quiet bass appear now. By the way some pictures I will add, maybe will be helpful for someone. Now there is a time for stage 2 - Mosconi one 120.4 DSP second hand is on my desk, and Quadlock. Here I have first question: 1. due to availability I received 4CH quadlock instead of 2CH (2CH price). I want to follow Dave's configuration. Will I loose rear speakers out of HU now? 2. I still can not understand what for - additional Quadlock loop is needed. Dave wrote: "don't forget the quadlock loop as i did, and had no bluetooth or phone telematics..." I have HU-entrynav, so bluetooth antenna is connected directly to HU by the cable (not through ISO plug) - see attached photo. I am also wonder, when we are using standard OEM loop for front doors speakers to be finally amped by Mosconi using quadlock... the weakest signal harnesses are oem harnesses (designed for standard poor audio). And (just because I am "layman" :-) - is it save to amp 100W to 10 cm (4") midds and tweeters? On attached photos you can find... 1. What you have to do if you will buy second hand HK door sails without "inner-foam" so you have only original :-) 2. How to connect original oem to crossover (disassemble original blue connectors cover) and take out 2x short original wires attached to crossover. Then screw-in the connectors to the Gladen crossovers. Thanks in advance for any suggestion! |

No Pictures
HI...
Thanks for your very detailed post. Unfortunately I can't see any of your pictures. Have they been taken down due to hosting issues? Would love to perform this upgrade but I'm a very visual learner! Thanks kindly.... M |

Those door speaker magnets look much smaller than the ones on my Gladen One 201 BMW Alpha kit. Kit says it fits f30 but also E models. I’m getting worried now seeing yours that it might not. Was there much clearance between the magnet and glass?
Great write up btw. |

i only happened to be looking at this thread to remind my self how to remove my door trim panels to replace the inner door pull handles now they are sticky and horrible... the gap between the door magnet and glass was tight iirc... but it's been so long now i can't remember must be getting old lol! the distance from door panel to glass was 40mm so your speakers need to be less than that. my kit was fitted in 2014 so they may have upgraded the parts in the 7 years between then and your post...
