Thanks! Trying to decide which head unit to go with. 3 possibilities I think—the one you listed, the VDO/Continental one, and a single DIN Porsche classic CarPlay unit.
Edit: Just noticed there's a second Blaupunkt unit...
Blaupunkt Frankfurt RCM 82 DAB Head Unit
VDO:

Porsche Classic (someone makes a wiring harness to make this work with BMWs):

So you replaced the component speakers in the front kick panels with all new coaxial speakers ? Did you unplug the factory OEM crossover door tweeters? Seeing how the JL units you installed have their own built in tweeters ?
I assume you Then removed and bypassed the factory amp and installed a blaupunkt inline basically assuming the place of the factory amp?
Did you use rca input from the new head unit or did you use speaker HI -inputs directly into the aftermarket amp then run each Individual speaker from the amp output using the factory wiring ?
‘’I’m curious I might do this as well …

Added note: The RMS output of the head unit probably would've been adequate for the JL's and their capacity, but I didn't want it to have to work so hard. That's why we went with the amp.

Yes, we replace the component speakers in the front kick panels and in the back side panels with all new coaxial speakers. No, we didn't unplug the factory OEM crossover door tweeters (LOVE them highs right in front of you face on certain tunes). Yes, we bypassed the factory amp and installed the blaupunkt amp inline and mounted it in the trunk against the back (you can't see it while standing looking at the trunk) and used the RCA inputs from the head unit to the amp and utilized the existing factory wiring from the amp to the speakers. Easy peasy...
