recomendation to do BMW audio system
oneheadlight,
you're absolutely right, no regrets at all with the mod.
the focal tweeters are still doing its job after all these years (>6 yrs now), it reached the highs at ease and sweetly when i played an violin track recently, my home speakers with metal tweeters cannot match. without the A-pillars, i don't think this is possible.
mid-bass from below the seats - pretty muffled i guess. as for subwoofer, i can accept it.
well, i can understand its very difficult to decide - it depends how much you value audio quality in the car .

1. anything installed under the seats is not gonna achieve anything good.
2. 6.5" is a mid-bass. Its different from a subwoofer.
3. The amount of amp power you drive into the midbass is important.
4. The brand AND Model of the speaker you use also plays a big part.
Unfortunately for ICE, if you do not have space, or do not want to sacrific space, you can never experience the full beautiful spectrum of music.
your situation is quite similar to geeknick's some time ago. I am not aware of your hardware but that guy have really good hardware, but not installed correctly cos he was reluctant to cut the door etc etc.
once he decided to do it, and as he mentioned in this thread a couple of pages back, there is no other way he would wanna do it.
the difference is HUGE.
