Alpine upgrade

I will need to upgrade the stereo in my new F31 when I get it. Has any one opted for the Alpine speaker upgrade and your thoughts on it please?

The Alpine kit isn't really worth considering. Much better to go for Gladen, Bavsound or MB Quart kits.

I have the full Focal pnp range installed and whilst I'm pleased with the upgrade if I was doing it again I would begin with upgrading the amp to a BimmerTech and after that upgrade the speakers. Upgrading the amp will provide the best returns and then the speakers.
