I'm looking to throw around some thoughts I have about the possibility of upgrading the base audio system in my F40. I'd quite like to make one change at a time as ideally I don't want to spend an absolute fortune.
Initially I'm thinking there would be an improvement if I replaced the speakers in the front doors whilst also adding tweeters, I want direct replacements really and the Audison APBMW K4E seem reasonable. This would of course add the extra expense of replacing the required interior trim to give me the grilles for the tweeters near the mirror/A pillar area.
I could of course buy the version I've seen with the tweeters located in with the door speaker but would that be detrimental to the sound having the tweeters sitting lower down?
After that if I feel I need to do more work do I look to add an amp or replace the under seat woofers? If I decide to go with an amp would I be best to stick with Audison, and does adding an amp cause any issue with the in car noises such as Sat Nav announcements or parking sensor tones?
Finally, if I do get some door speakers with a crossover what is the best way of safely fitting the crossover? So for example would you look to locate it in a certain area of the door, how would you secure it?
Thanks for looking.
