I was half joking about the cost, because I've done complete speaker swaps in my previous cars, and know that good sound can cost a quite a bit of coin if you do it right. I guess what my concern is though is that I'm used to actual name brand brands, like MB quartz, have heard what they sound like, and can appreciate the quality.

We've been around for 5 years now, and while we don't have a brand known outside of BMWs, we do have a reputation for quality in the BMW world. Also, our drivers are MADE by manufacturers whose products you'd recognize (and lust after) -- but we don't share who makes them since it undermines our own brand.

You'll have to forgive me as I've just recently entered the BMW family, so I'm not familiar with all the tuning options out there and what's hot/not. I don't doubt your claims and some of the reviews, but what it boils down to for me I suppose is this: I'm not going to dick with my BMW the way I used to for my honda vehicles. I want to do things the right way, the first time.

That's exactly the POINT of our drivers -- they're made for your BMW, so they're a perfect match, every time. And they are completely reversible -- no modifications to the car whatsoever.

If I grab a set of these, I have a few questions. Assuming I upgrade to your speakers, how will this affect my upgrade path later on? will your speakers still be "the best" if say a year from now I decide to go with an after market amp and maybe a sub? I don't want to buy a solution today that fits with my current system, but later on down the line does not work as harmoniously with future audio plans. while your product may be tuned for the stock L7 system, will it sound just as good with something else later?

Our Stage 1 Audio Upgrade is designed from the ground up to work with the factory amplifier, power output, etc. While it is definitely possible to install an aftermarket amplifier that would be compatible with our Stage 1, it is not something we would be able to provide information on or support in any way.

As for performance, it's going to depend on the configuration you use and how you tune it, but many users have had great results using our drivers with aftermarket amps.

In addition, we do have future plans for an amplifier upgrade for your chassis, but timelines are not set in stone so they may not be available if and when you're ready to upgrade.

However, as I mentioned before, our speakers require no modification, so there's no reason you couldn't TRY them with an amp of your choice (don't exceed 50w RMS) and see what you think. If you're not happy, sell them and put in something you prefer.

All that said, we've had A LOT of guys with Logic7 who thought they wanted an amp upgrade buy our Stage 1 and decide it wasn't necessary for them at all. Just something to think about...

Also, I noticed that after i selected "Logic7" as an option for the speakers, it was an additional 100 something dollars. Can you tell me why "logic7" speakers are so much extra? aren't speakers.....speakers? it's not like there are fiber optic lines going to each speaker.

You're receiving 3 extra speakers.
