Bowers and Wilkins design.
If anybody is looking for the diamond teeeter look of the bowers and Wilkins that light up the ambient light colors of our cars interior. Gzcarphone has them for sale. I just installed along with the bavsound stage 1 and it sounds great. Might need to upgrade the amplifier though.

I asked Bavsound if they could suggest any upgrades to the B&W system and they said no. They said it was a "rare option" and a "fantastic system" and was superior to their upgrades to the HK system.

I couldn't use bavsound tweeters because the gzcarphone tweeter cannot be remove from the housing with the ambient lighting.

The bavsound stage 1 definitely needs the subs replaced. Because the bass definitely lags the bass for the new mids and tweets.

The bavsound is probably better. But the gzcarphone not bad. Better than stock. You do have to modify the wiring for the gzcarphone tweeters to fit the bavsound door mids though. It worked fine for me and sounds much better than stock.

Is it the tweeter or grill design that has the leds? I wonder if you can keep the H&K grills and get lights?

Ok, wanted to keep the H&K grills and just get the lighting function. Does anyone have detailed pictures of the tweeters to see how they are built?

I have just fitted them, and I must say, i am really impressed with the quality and fitment of them considering they're aftermarket. The sound to be honest, in my humble opinion is fantastic, I tested them first in the LH door to see if I liked the sound, by comparing them to the RH Harmon Kardon's ... I had three different people listen to the sound of the aftermarket tweeters and main speakers, and two of them actually thought the aftermarket, sounded crisper, only one preferred the HKs slightly softer tone. But once I installed both front doors, they all thought that the overall sound was no different to the Hk's and if anything, they complimented them.. I think if I were changing all of the interior speakers to these aftermarket ones, it would be a very different story, as I believe the rest of the HKs in the car make up any lacking in quality of the sound overall, obviously there will purists that will have differing opinions but to the average jo (like me and my three trusted listeners) the sound is fantastic... Fitting was a little fiddly to get the HK grills off the door card, as you have to drill the plastic rivets to get them off, but other than that, it was pretty straight forward to fit, and at night, the speakers all lit up look amazing.!! you'll find them here http://www.gzcarphone.com/bmw-5-seri...eeter_p64.html http://www.gzcarphone.com/bmw-5-seri...light_p71.html Last edited by Mrgee55; 11-06-2018 at 07:24 AM.. |
