Hey guys,
I'm the original owner of a 1986 325e with Premium Sound, fader in the dash, amp in the trunk. The head unit is an Alpine CDE-163BT (soon to be replaced by a CDE-HD149BT because the blue Power Antenna lead on the former keeps the antenna raised all the time, even when AM/FM is not selected).
I've been thinking about upgrading the amp and the speakers. But that would be a major project, especially since I don't know very much about audio. Would it make sense to just replace the speakers?
In the front, there are two component speakers with 1" tweeters in the door and 5.25" 40-watt 4-ohm speakers in the kick panels. On the rear deck, there are two coaxial speakers with 40-watt 4-ohm 5.25" speakers and 1" tweeters at an angle beside them. The speakers are stamped "ITT W Germany." They look like they have paper cones. Would it be worthwhile to replace these speakers? If so, what would I replace them with? Advice would be appreciated.
