Bavsound "Stage One" Speaker "Upgrade" Review

[Fried_Chicken]

Complete and total waste of time and money. They absolutely sound like shit, and only my four mid-tweeters for the doors were broken that I could have ordered from the dealership, saved myself hassle gluing them, and been done.

If ALL of your speakers are blown, buy used HK's off eBay, because right now what I have is garbage.

Grain of salt, I just installed them, got inside, and listened. Maybe something will change once I drive, but at this point I doubt it and I'm skeptical.

Nobody online has this opinion, all the "reviews" are by sunk-cost-fallacy victims.

This is a warning to anyone out there, DON'T get the bavsound for your ZHP.

[edit]

I took them for a drive and it's not as bad as I initially thought. I really hope my opinion changes. They're definitely not a huge improvement (if any) over 20-year-old stock HK.

It's... o.k. You can tell it has a "modern" (IMO artificial) sound. If I'd known I owuld have just bought for new mid-drivers from BMW, fixed the front left tweeter, and called it good.
