TypeR factory stereo tech specs

[Venator]

Does anyone know what the tech specs are for the factory system? I really hate the sound and would like to replace the speakers/sub.

To start I bought an Alpine SXE 0825 For the dash and an Alpine S-W8D2 for the sub.

Bump?

I don't know if it's just me but I'm wondering if the stereo in my Type R is defective. It sounds bad. I mean terrible. I'm 98% convinced the sub was disconnected by the previous owner. My 8 year old son's voice has more bass than this thing. Replacing the speakers and sub and adding an amp has become my new top priority for the car.

I've been using this site as a reference https://www.crutchfield.ca which seems to be a good start.

I also recommend watching this. I pretty much plan to follow this video to the Tee.

That’s a fantastic install.

Anyone know the size of the rear pillar speakers?

Found them! They are 3.5" with .6" mounting depth... Now the next to impossible task of finding replacements...

I was also unimpressed with the factory sound system. I added an amp and replaced the sub and that was enough to make me happy. I kept all of the rest of it stock. Just a thought before you go ripping the car apart to get to the rear pillar speakers.

Yea, I don't think the search will be worth it.

Did you add a sub in the stock enclosure? Or a external box?

I squeezed it in the stock enclosure.

So in the BMW world, different manufacture/vendors sell direct drop in plug and play speaker swap kits that really enhance the sound. I am hoping someone comes out with something like that.

4 front doors + 4 rear doors + center are all just drop off replacement. I replaced the 4 front doors + center + sub + sub amp, the sound quality is already way better but still have room for improvement. So will replace the rear door speakers + LCi later to see how much I can squeeze it from the stock head unit.
