E90 - Focal KR130.. Any one have them installed.

I found the dumbest deal on the set... something like 60 percent off list.. So i'm curious if someone has them in an e-90 and if so how much trouble, how do they look, and how do they sound..

You come to the right place. I have an E90 and I have the K2 ES100 and they sound amazing with an amp. They really shine through. If you are to get the tweeters and mid range.id suggest look into the underseat subs as they make a difference.

Check my signature as k have some videos of the speakers.

I have a base stereo.. Which I dislike greatly.

So I'm going to remove everything, install all newa HU that has the controls for my dash etc, the focal's, probably some Earthquake 8" and I'm debating about replacing the 4" in the rear. I may go without the rears for the time being.

I'm going to use a 4 channel amp and bridge two of the channels to run the underseats. In my younger days I would have thrown 12's in the trunk, but I don't need to be that middle aged guy with a vibrating car.

That is very true, I have Focal tweeters, midranges and also their Underseat woofers. They sound really amazing and very punchy as well.

I have heard the HK in my uncles M4 and I think the bass is more pronounded with the Focal, I hear good things about Earthquakes.

I didn't replace the rear 4" in the rear as don't see any point. Most of the sound stage is going to be in front of you.

Help a fellow Canadian out
PLUS I have a 323 too, also with base audio. The struggle is real.

PM if interested on what I did to upgrade my audio.
