Speaker Upgrade Advice Needed

Hi all

I have a Professional Radio (option 663) in my 2012 118i and am very disappointed with the quality of sound when pushing the system anywhere beyond a medium volume... In South Africa, the HK or Alpine options are simply too expensive to look at retro fitting... I am hoping for some advice on upgrade the existing speakers and if it is worth while doing without an amp or if it is pointless...

My biggest issue with the system is when it is pushed and I am listing to something with bass, the system starts to cut out / muffle a lot.

I am looking to upgrade the front door speakers, back speakers, subs and potentially add tweeters.

Any advice is welcome

Thanks in advance

If you don't want to go for an Alpine upgrade, just change the stock speakers with off the shelf ones you can find in any car stereo dealer. I did that in the rear. Big improvement!

I went for the Alpine upgrade, and new subs as well. Massive improvement!
