So, I have been looking around all the various sites and web pages/forums and have had some trouble finding the answers to the following questions:

What is the spare hole in the tweeter speaker in the door for?
Can you change the tweeters and if so with what and how do you do it?
Do you need to add an amp to upgrade your speaker system?
I want to keep the original business cassette head unit, so I need to add anything to ensure I get better sound?

Anyway I did not find the information required and as I am (in my opinion) not bad on mechanics and carrying out the basics, sounds systems and electrics are not my strong point, however I have it a go!

The results? Well let’s just say the sound is bloody brilliant and I have not had to clove away from the original look of the interior nor have I had to cut out plastics etc.

This is what I did should you wish to upgrade your (please do not blame Me if your system isn’t the same as mine and you don’t get the results) I do though believe this is the best system out there for sound and ease!

speaker choice purchase from Amazon

All speakers fit into each hole in the grill

I did replace the speaker material under the grill

you will need a glue gun and patient (it took me best the part of 10 hours)

total cost was circa £140

Happy to try to answer some questions from my experience

good luck 🤞

I can answer that the bigger hole is for when it's fitted with the upgraded audio system uses a bigger tweeter that fits in the other hole

Sounds like a good upgrade. Am I right that you didn't need to upgrade the amp? Thanks

That’s right the amp was not changed. I used both holes with two different tweeters to cover different frequencies.

Thank you, I did try to find a BMW tweeter that fitted that hole but with no luck 🤷🏻‍♂️
