F30 BMW BimmerTech Alpha One Premium Speaker Upgrade Installation Guide (F15, F10, F80 and More!)

[@ninos3710]

Brian is the MAN!!! I would just add @8:53 test the speakers before putting the door back together.

[@djtalism]

Nino S i think same for all speakers

[@cookingwithkay6913]

Bro u explain everything so easy to understand bless you brother ☝️

[@mikex1384]

Another great video from Brian. I especially liked the extra time spent on the trim removal. That task may be the one that causes the most anxiety among DYI'ers. I know I'm always afraid I'm going to break something. I thought it interesting that Brian kept referring to the speakers as "BeamerTech" instead of BimmerTech.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks! When I first started with BimmerTech, I asked the owner how he says it and he pronounces it “BeamerTech”, so that’s why I’ve always gone that way 😀

[@042452]

I installed the Alpha Ones and the Fischer Amp.....in my 328D when they 1st came out mine was not Harman Kardon...I love the sound! Never spent that much on a Car Stereo though

[@Riseup425]

This is the best tutorial I’ve watched. Simple. Thank you!

[@thefranklins545]

Fantastic video, once again! Really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@ttroygotknife]

Good job, this is inspiration to me, you do one thing then you will make it a living.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@TommyLGarage]

Should be a nice and easy upgrade. Nicely done.

[@AngryDad85]

Great vid , your one of the best at explaining stuff.

[@Mondaventure]

Awesome details on removing and reinstalling door handle!! 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@ml-ed4sc]

and you didn't provide a before and after sound clip?

[@boostedmedia]

Excellent!! Will be tackling my 2 Series soon :)

[@우리집-m3u]

every each video is amazing and helpful 🤙 only problem is my wrong fingers

[@robertoterriquez2132]

Excellent video. Do you have a video on how to change the rear seat speakers?

[@NinjaTactiks]

I just looked up the speaker replacement for a Mercedes W212 and the BMW process is painless in comparison.

[@Anonymou5gh0st]

Great tutorial bro but what about the rear ?

[@tsskage]

Brian pls more mechanic actions! Fluid chande zf xdrive and all possible...

[@serviola3]

Great video ! Thanks very much from Spain .

[@CSSSOLIVEIRA]

Explains it all! Very good!

[@mustgofaster6545]

Great explanation!

[@fearthereaper200]

the only thing i would ask is that the sizes of the speakers were added other then that great video

[@yalinhano1786]

I learned a lot things with you thanks men...

[@calmanstrugglez]

Video was very detailed and informative thanks very much

[@none6901]

Very professional video.

[@qhuynh14]

Another great video and upgrade !!!! You should totally do a brake fluid change next, not a lot video out there for the f30

[@KiesMotorsports]

Lol one step ahead of you 😀 check the video before this one 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼

[@qhuynh14]

Omg , I subscribed to you for the longest time and somehow I missed out on that one. Lol. Many thanks from me:)

[@BimmerTV]

Good install video!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@phutran5698]

hi kies do you have the video how to code bmw f30 bluetooth music stream?

[@xtrasafeful]

Hi Kies. We are buying a BMW 320D 2.0 that has the Advantage pack but does not have HIFI sound pack. I want to install a subwoofer in it but don't know if the car has the harness or wire for it(Under the front seats) Do you know if BMW would still install the wire for it even if it doesn't come with HIFI audio pack?

[@xXtheafroXx]

Would these speakers work with a F30 with completely stock speakers I.e. the option down from HK speakers?

[@Wicked_RotF30]

I'm waiting to see alpha one compared with Bavsound premium offerings.

[@foorbob]

Hey Brian, great channel! Can you upgrade from a base setup to alpha one? Regarding that i have to replace the inner doortrim with one with the tweeter housing....

[@b2plus]

Dude Great Channel, Love the videos

[@betto0515]

Better than the harman kardon ?

[@nordicvolkan]

Hey Brian Thanks for the video after all this work you should have play some audio to test out the speakers for us!

[@Kiloptero]

Hi Kies! amazing video.. Im looking for an upgrade to my F22 M240 with "hifi" sound.. There are 2 options. bimmertech and bavsound.. Any recomendation?!?!

[@ninos3710]

Would you share if you know, the A1 woofers compared to the Bavsound Ghosts, I just picked up the Ghosts, didn't realize Bimmer-tech made speakers.

[@kubastachu9860]

have you had your chance to compare?

[@beemerjeff740i]

Would be nice to see you do this for a G11/G12 7 series. Just curious about that because I have one

[@TraversWortley]

You think I would be okay on the g80 to just add the new amp you posted about not that long ago and not get all new speakers?

[@Italiano9091]

I have an F10 2012 535i Xdrive with the „Top-Hifi“ -System. Bimmer-Tech offers a full set which replaces all the OEM speakers except the OEM AMP. is there a reason why Bimmer-Tech keeps the OEM AMP? Is the Oem amp better than the bimmer-Tech one? Thanks 🙏

[@2001Lobito]

Would it be fine to replace just one? My front passenger side speakers broken

[@KO2Systercrayon523]

NICE JOB LIKE ALWAYS BRO ///my BMW have harman kardon and im considering to replace/i notice your doors have the trim with the LED can you do DIY who to instal that lights on the 4 doors that AMBIENT LIGHT IS THE BEST for me .keep the nice job//did you forget the rear seat speaker??

[@stevelang26]

How much better is this speakers than the premium one. 7 pro. I have a 2018 440I M Sport with the upgraded system

[@akhilramphul256]

Hey Brian is there really speakers underneath both driver and passenger side seat? 🤔

[@jordycaicedo3700]

How these alpha one speakers compare to the bowers and wilkins diamond surround system from 5 & 7 Series?

[@KiesMotorsports]

They sound great! Both are quality speakers!

[@pascalciton3535]

Do you still have the HK. Will you ship them to me if i buy them with you?

[@matthewgrayson8]

He does everything like a kids puzzle.

[@luisvelazquez7894]

Bryan very good products and excellent explanation! Do you ship products to Mexico?

[@hughjanus7029]

How do i know which ones to choose in terms of ohms and the circle or oval size? Also how much would it be for a complete speaker change in my 328i?

[@theMikeB53]

Love the videos as always. Jealous as hell lol. If you ever need a EWG F30 (also estriol blue) in NJ hit me up!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Sounds good :)

[@PS3BM1195]

Hi Brian, I'm looking quite a while now at subwoofer replacements for my 2016 F20. I have retrofitted the Alpine HiFi kit to my car so now I have a separate amp instead of just the basic factory audio system. I saw on your website you offer subwoofers with different levels of impedance. What do you think would best fit my setup? (the subwoofers used are exactly the same as in the F2x, F3x ranges) Thanks!

[@xhantipeterson6770]

The HK sounds great as is. I don't see why people would need to upgrade it. But, nevertheless this is a great video.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@CartubeCoIl]

Nope, I have the HK and it's nothing more than ok sound.

[@aSASa45454]

how about hi-fi? worth?

[@xKevinK]

Could you do an exhaust tip removal and install video? Like changing from stock chrome ones to a carbon fiber tips

[@KiesMotorsports]

Do you have stock exhaust?

[@xKevinK]

Kies Motorsports yes I do

[@gokhankeskin985]

Hello friend. Thanks for all in advance. İ would like to get it this sound system. Iam from turkey but i havent found any supplier or seller around web at all. Please if you read it please answer me. Thank you so much 👍

[@PhenomenaLMedia]

Hello guys, i have a question, i have a BMW F30 320d 2012, but i dont have those tweeters on the side of each door, just like i dont have behind the screen the subwoofer with the tweeter, i would like to install just the tweeters on the each side of the doors. are the cables for the tweeters already there or should i add new ones? thank you

[@Kameni200]

Hey Brian. Do I need amplifier for this subwoofer or it's just a plug & play?

[@proninety7587]

Is it possible to put 5" drivers in the door?

[@rishik191]

Hi Brian, thank you for the great video. Do I need to disconnect the battery to swap the speakers?

[@ninjamurder1]

No

[@DJRanoia]

Do you have a quick break down of what parts go with what cars F30 in my case standard hifi ohms, A10 Round vs oval, and A40 vs A45

[@KiesMotorsports]

Just email me your vin and I can help you

[@12valverollin_81]

Are they sold in pairs or do I need to order 2

[@chimken-dawg]

Hey are the speakers still for sell? I can’t find them on your website thanks

[@kemalaydin2675]

Hello, what is the torque value of seat bolts?

[@ortizfabio]

Hi Brian! I have the base sound system (no amp), i hear i need to code after upgrading the speakers and adding the tweeters. Do you know what path/control unit register i need to change while coding? Thank you!

[@G-Man..277]

Is this the same for an f20 1 series? I cant find any other guide on it

[@barrycarlson521]

I don't see these on your site. Are they out of stock?

[@Andy2x4]

Hey, do you know how to adjust the one touch indicator to flash more than three times? The problem is, BMW indicators flash so quickly and by the time you take your hand off the stalk, it’s already finished its three flashes...

[@TheMouhahahahahahaha]

Andrew R You need to code the car in order to change that. You will have the possibility to code it for 5 or 7 times for every touch

[@GarageGotland]

Is it the same on a: Bmw F31?

[@Tomih202h]

Do you get discount when you buy it for company

[@Wasabrottt]

Hey is this one better than my Bang and olufsen in my new 340i?

[@KiesMotorsports]

I haven't personally heard them

[@jordycaicedo3700]

How do you have bang olufsen in your 340i? I thought it was just HK and Hifi only to the 3 series..

[@gisellechavez9032]

Are these speakers not for sale anymore ?

[@andrewl9020]

All Base Audio Subs are glued into the enclosure apparently.

[@JuMaMoSo]

Does this work with the basic stereo?

[@Marcoashou1]

which ones did you put in your car? there are many options to choose from on the website.

[@KiesMotorsports]

If you email me the last 7 of your vin, I can help you see what you would need in your car. Every car is different

[@usefulforstudy]

how's the sound quality?

[@bimmerguy2096]

I want to upgrade the HK system in my 2015 X3 35i, which units would I need? How do these compare to something like BavSound?

[@KiesMotorsports]

Hi BimmerGuy, email me the last 7 of your VIN to [e-mail] and I'll print you out a list. Thanks - b

[@anthonya9987]

Is there usually an amp under the front passenger seat w/ the premium audio package? Can we install an amp under the seat

[@KiesMotorsports]

The amp is in the trunk

[@GaryDownes]

Brian, i have tremendous respect for you, however are you seriously suggesting that Bimmer Tech are now offering better audio that HK? You have huge credibility as far as i'm concerned, and I appreciate we all need to make money, however please reply with a genuine reason why these speakers are better quality over HK... By the way, I went with the Bootmd3 in the end... that's how much I appreciate and trust what you do

[@KiesMotorsports]

Hey, thanks for your note. I'll be 100% transparent with you. I got my start in the automotive world about 13 years ago installing head units, speakers and subwoofers in cars. Although I appreciate good audio, I'm big into performance and find myself with the radio low, listening to the car's exhaust, intake, turbo, etc. I've had these speakers installed in my car (a couple different versions as they went from test speakers to the actual speakers) for about 10 months now. Specifically, over the Harmons, they are brighter and have great clarity. And the under the seat subwoofers are incredible. I feel like I put a sub in the trunk, like I did 13 years ago, lol. Sound is all personal preference. If you don't want a brighter sound, stick with the harmons. If you're looking to brighten it up, these are great. One thing that I really like is these are made for BMW. These aren't speakers you would get on Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. They have fully molded plugs that accept the factory connections. Because sound is personal preference, it's hard to say which is better. With BootMod3, your car will be faster. You can take it to a dyno and we can print out the report and confirm.. but speakers are a different animal. Here's the best way I can explain it to you: if you're looking for a brighter sound and amazing bass, these are a great choice, based on my testing. By the way, BootMod3 is awesome. How do you like it? It's my favorite product that we have right now (don't tell the other companies we represent, lol). I went to the track with my friend Tommy (Tommy L Garage on KZbin) and the tune made the car a track beast. My instructor had a 1M and was impressed.. I hope this helps.. Bryan

[@GaryDownes]

Kies Motorsports Hey Brian, thank you kindly for your in depth reply. I absolutely trust you, therefore I think I may look into these speakers as well. I love the HK system, but I always feel like I would like more Bass. It's a challenge living in Saskatchewan, Canada as there's literally no support for modding BMW's here. Plus, buying things from the US and shopping it here isn't cheap. Congrats on the new partnership you announced today. Oh, and the Bootmod3 is unbelievable! I had the Dinan S1 on my previous 2013 335i and I prefer this one for sure. Also cost $2000 less so thank you for recommending it!

[@crazyshala]

I'm super glad with how this thread went. I've seen a few videos from Brian and have loved all of them. I'll be trying a few on my F30 328i Sport. Also, today is the day I subscribe

[@calmanstrugglez]

@@GaryDownes did you end up getting them? How do they sound?

[@carsinourdna9388]

@@GaryDownes I am also wondering how come bimmertech/bavsound are better than hk. recently I upgrade my hk with bavsound stage 1. sound is clear but not like huge difference. it has been only few days. I will give 2 more weeks if I didnt see any difference after break in period may be I switch to bimmertech. I heard sub makes huge difference but I have jl audio sub in my trunk, so not going to get underneath subs. I upgraded my 2014 335xi Hk with bav because in hk after while you feel ear fatigue. I am 80% going toward bimmertech. because so far not impressed with bavsound.

[@j.p5402]

I dont uave a HK set up in my F10 so will i have to upgrade the amp if i want to install this on a basic speaker system?

[@BeesonsCars]

The base F10 ( in north america) has the HiFi setup with 10 or 12 speakers (can't remember) and a 205 watt amp. These would probably work, but it wouldn't have a lot of power driving them. I would recommend and amp, but will work fine without.

[@gritsgong]

Does this fit the E70 X5M?

[@dnyc3st892]

Any sound quality test?

[@KiesMotorsports]

I have to figure out how to do that. It's tough, because the sound isn't going through these speakers to your ear.. it goes in my camera's mic, get's processed and then comes out your computer speakers, headphones, or cell phone speakers, so it will never be an accurate test

[@user-so2rh9om6y]

Where can I find these speakers at

[@itsdanielrosa]

Please do an s55 amg 2006 for me

[@ProbeRoket]

Does my 2015 320i without the HK system have subs under the seats?

[@99ewar]

Good question. Were you able to confirm if the 320i comes with subwoofer?

[@inguss4891]

Can you tell me sub speakers specs??

[@sttm1283]

id like to swap mine for an upgrade. i know i dont have the HK system. in the vin it only says hifi-system S676A, along with nav professional. what ones should i choose from bimmertech. im far from an audiophile, just want it to sound good. wich my current dont do, it sounds like some/one of the speakers is broken cause it rattles :(

[@KiesMotorsports]

If you send me the last 7 of your vin to [e-mail], I can give you a list of what you'd need

[@simont4708]

anyone upgraded from the HK in the F20/F21? And does it put the HK to shame?

[@djdreamr1]

Same question here... :)

[@navigation4653]

15:25 the coin hiding there lol

[@KiesMotorsports]

lol, I found my lens cap, my long lost screw driver and some other goodies lol

[@Zomby3000]

And you can use a vacuum cleaner for the carpet as well :)

[@XxS1l3nTxa1Mx]

Where do I buy this?

[@cpad007]

So what's the correct spec?! You knew someone was going to ask! Also, why didn't you play some music after installing them? Maybe a before and after would've been cool.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Mainly for copyright reasons we didn’t do music, but videos are coming. For the spec, email me your vin and I can give you info

[@cpad007]

Ah...good point on the copyright stuff but I'm sure there is royalty free stuff you could've used. Thanks for the info on the spec.

[@KiesMotorsports]

The hard part is audio tests are never pure. I'd be recoding with my camera's mic and then it plays through your phone, computer, headphones, etc.. I'll have to see what i can do

[@shahrouzkhan200]

whats the argument for these being better than the h/k?

[@KiesMotorsports]

I'm not an arguer, but the bass hits harder and the sound is brighter :)

[@boostedmedia]

The primary complaint with the HK system is the big hole in midrange frequency response.

[@ROS_75]

Hi Brian, another great video. Don’t you recommend to ad damping material on de doors? Didn’t know BimmerTech had speakers. They look great. Got a Gladen speaker system myself in my F21. Regards from a fan in Amsterdam.

[@MrFern99]

these better than the harmon kardon?

[@KiesMotorsports]

These are a great upgrade from any bmw speaker 👍

[@XxS1l3nTxa1Mx]

Does this work on a bmw 135i you think?

[@KiesMotorsports]

Yea!

[@Erwin1471239]

Didnt you notice the penny under the seat? 😂

[@lulamza1]

aren't there speakers at the back doors?

[@KiesMotorsports]

Yea, it's the same process on all the doors

[@lulamza1]

thank you

[@Garciafarming]

Lemme get the Harmons

[@itsabana]

whats up with the wire @3:31 ?

[@KiesMotorsports]

Ejector seat :) (Test product I can't talk about)

[@BrennahAdrianna]

Only a bmw owner would talk about seeing a little nic when they open the door 🤓

[@miller330i]

The LA Rams head coach looks a lot like you!

[@SanMarinoM3cs]

if I buy this speaker kit I would have to pay almost 300 dollars in tax, Unless bimmertech would "price" the package as much less 🤔

[@KiesMotorsports]

Yikes.. that's not good

[@BeeShopcs]

Still stupid think from bmw to do the door indicator
