Upgrade speakers

I’m about to install the Match amp in my 2019 X1 with the HiFi (no tweeters) system. I’d also like to update at least the front door speakers. The MATCH MS 4X-BMW.1 or MATCH MS 4X-BMW.2 seem perfect but their Web site only lists cars to 2015. Will these work?

I never tried Match Speakers, Bavsound is good but don't select X1 in their web site, just select Mini Cooper with Harman Kardon so the price comes to $400!

Other than that GRS Speakers are for BMWs which 4 speakers are around $250-300, I never tried that model but reviews are good

why aren't you going to put tweeters ?

The Match MS 4X-BMW.2 are indeed a perfect fit despite Crutchfield listing them as not compatible. Also, terrific sound!

Any idea how these compare to the bavsound?
I’m nearing the 100 day period and I really wasn’t that impressed with the speakers. Also do they have one to replace the center speaker?

Thanks!

I have the Match Up 7BMW as well and it’s made an awesome improvement!

Any thoughts on upgrading the rear door speakers? Will any improvements justify the cost and labor for driver and front passenger? As I mentioned, replacing the front door speakers certainly improved the up front sound!

No. Rears are for back passengers.

The MW 8BMW-D, according to the Match website, fit all BMW’s with under seat subs. You can get them at Crutchfield but they’ll say they do not fit. There’s some kind of communication problem between Match and Crutchfield. I just installed Match coax’s and their amp. Perfect fit despite Crutchfield telling me otherwise. I’ve been in contact with Match and Crutchfield about this. Hopefully the correct information will soon be published.

Thanks for the response and will do some research now

Did you do the tune yourself or have it professionally done.

Did you install any other Audiotec Fischer Match products to your build?



Does anyone have a UP 7BMW tuning file for an X1 with Stock HiFi, Sub Upgrade or full upgrade.

I was going to go that route too, but went with Match Subs and Match Amp. BavSound Corporate told me they do not have an amp upgrade for 2016 + X1 yet and they say not to use any other Amps as the speakers are not compatible.

To me that seemed Odd

Does seem odd indeed, but I wasn't planning on swapping amps. Hopefully with the speaker & subs installed, there will be a significant improvement in sound and clarity. Not really interested in "loud", I want clear & crisp. The stock setup is utter trash.

I'm sure if I wanted to upgrade the amp, BavSound will eventually make an amp for the x1. I was under the impression that the Revenant amp from BavSound would work.

I thought so too, apparently not.

I read somewhere they lock down their tuning files so maybe they just haven't done a tuning file for the X1 yet and so no amp.

I just finished the install of Bavsound speakers and subwoofers. Even before the break in period, I noticed an immediate improvement! Sounds great so far....

I did the JL Audio powered subwoofer 12". It fits underneath the rear storage and makes a huge difference. Box was $575. Install was $100.
