Tweeter Relocation
Ok, I had the tweeters mounted on my dash because:
1) Our standard E90s do not have tweeter mounts in the window frames
2) All installers recommend putting them on the dash because the sound stage is higher, blah, blah, blah..... I know, I know...
However, I find that sticking those 2 "tweety-birds" on the dash makes the car look so Jap and didn't like it at all. So, I indented 2 frames from PML and have them installed today. The pictures will speak a thousand words.
I know by doing this, I may get some flames for being stupid but I guess that's the way I like it..

Re: Tweeter Relocation
personally, i agree with you that mounting the tweeters in the window frames is a much neater set up. i don't quite like the tweeters look in the first pic...

Re: Audio system upgrade - No mess
you could actually mount them on the A-pillar, provided they don't look too japanese to you.

Re: Audio system upgrade - No mess
Anyone know what is the e90 standard speaker size. Does the E90 also have 2X4" speakers on front door, 2X6.5" woofer under driver seats and 2X4" at the rear deck? Cannot seem to find any information on speaker size in the forums.

With the addition of tweeters, does it in anyway take away the surround effects?

Re: Audio system upgrade - No mess
I was initially skeptical, but turned out as another happy customer at Soundwerkz. My requirement was simple: significant improvement with no visible upgrade ha ha.
Got window side panel from PML and brought the stuff to Soundwerkz; requested the following setup:
Morel Hybrid Ovation 4 (instead of Hertz Hi-Energy)
Hertz K8L woofer (to replace the stock woofer)
Audison LRX 4.5 amp
Everything looks as stock setup. Amp is installed under the booth storage > may cause heat problem... but well... we don't drive hundreds miles in SG anyway
For consideration.... try to test your system with:
Outkast Speakerboxxx - Intro song
Emi Fujita's songs
Lisa Ono's C'est Si Bon
You are guaranteed to see significant difference.
Next possible upgrade is adding Audison Bit One.. but no more space to put it unnoticeable...
Happy CNY to Soundwerkz team and to all!

Re: Audio system upgrade - No mess
Sounds like you had a trust worthy installer.
I wasn't lucky a couple of years ago with my e90. I sent to decided to pay more and went to Swift Motion and the experience headed down south.
1. Cause the trip in the computer and the boss told me its normal and I had to beg PML to reset.
2. Screwed up my reverse sensor (no sound) and they went ahead to install an after market reverse sensor and drilled 2 holes at the rear number plate w/o asking me.
3. My middle passenger seat belt at the rear end went missing because the workers 'accidentally' tucked it under the bench.
As you can imagined how horrified I was. Not to mention the high frequency sound it made whenever I drive.
Sold off the car a yr ago and I've been putting ICE on hold for my e60. Been wanting to go back but I think it all about luck. I never had problems with my Jap rides.
