DLS reference R4

hansonwheel · 08-31-2013, 01:27 PM

I'm having difficulty finding where to buy the DLS reference R4 speakers. They appear on the DLS website so appear to not be discontinued. Any help would be appreciated and also if anyone has a pair they want to sell PM me.

Thanks in advance-

I believe they have been replaced by the dls up4.

I fitted these in an E90 a couple of cars ago and the depth means they catch on the window making the window sluggish.

That's why they have to be mounted with a special adapter, like the one Technic sells.

Fair enough. I didn't know an adaptor was available. I was impressed with the R4s though. Powered with a Blaupunkt amp and they gave a high quality sound.

Thanks for the responses everyone, I appreciate it. I might move past the R4's to Morels for my next upgrade phase. Recently installed an MS-8 and center channel speaker to a hifi system. This produced a significant increase in performance compared to the stock hifi system but I've noticed over time that stock mids and tweeters can only perform to a certain level hence the desire to upgrade these components.
