The question is where do you stop , would you need to replace the amp as it's like a 10 channel system
For me a perfect setup ignoring cost now just to dream
1. Focal utopia m 3.5 inch mid and tweeter in both front doors
2. Same in centre dash
3. Maybe K2 range under seat
I still would like a flat vertical box sub on the back as the HK system you cannot feel the bass
Watching the Bavsound install videos
Centre console speaker replacement looks quite easy just need a plastic lift up tool to get the speaker cover off and a mini ratchet to unscrew the screws
Doors though require you not breaking any clips
Speaker under chairs require a heat gun to
remove the speaker from the casing and maybe a torque wrench to get the seat bolts back to their original tightness
Rear deck speakers also look quite easy to remove
I love my sound, my Rockford fosgate amp and Boston acoustic pro series from 20 years ago in my previous car has better punch / detail than the current HK system 😄 so I know the sound can be improved quite a lot from the standard HK
So maybe I will have to save up for the Focal Utopia 👍
Im thinking I only do the fronts , I found having rear speakers besides rear sub on the boot does not do much for the sound , except in HK when you go surround sound effect

Ok just did a bit more more research, Focal Utopia's frequency range I have been told do not cover a wide enough range , the 3.5 midranges ..aargh, Kudos to Jamie from MC Car Security for the long discussion and the valuable info today
You have to go 3 way to get the coverage.
So Focal Utopias are out ...pheew just saved a lot of money ..Hahha
So onto the next range down , the Focal K2 ,(ES 100K 4 inch 2 way component speaker) frequency range is ok , impedance is 4 ohms which matches the HK mid, checked this on the Bimmertech site as this is important.
Erawamai, quick question, for your centre speaker you replaced did they give you the actual specification for the frequency range> I would be interested to see what it was.
Now just need to find out physical dimensions of the Focal K2 compared to the HK and see if it will all fit
Bavsound and Bimmertech are onto a good thing here , no need to worry about anything just plug and play , takes a lot of work out of the process.
