Hi

I am looking to improve the performnce of the stereo in my X1

It seems to havr the bog standard line fit speakers fitted and I'd like to change those for something better

Also there is plenty of room in the space under the floor of the boot.

Has anyone done anything like this? Any hints or tips?

Harman Kardon were the top of the OEM line so a starting point is use a Vin Decoder to check what was fitted at build S676A is Hifi S674A is Harman Kardon

Next check that all speakers are working including the central base speakers under the front seats. It isn't unusual for door speakers to fail particularly if there has been water ingress. If everything is working but is standard Hifi an upgrade to HK components may give what you want (speakers Amp etc) If it is already HK then your in the hands of the aftermarket Audio specialists 

Hope this Helps

Thank you for your help. The car has a big standard speaker setup. It isn’t good. The HK system normally has badges and identifiers but the car has no such markings.
 

im going to fit a sub in the cavity in the boot, some decent mid range in the doors then some tweeters in the door pillars. The job now is to find someone who can do the job properly and not charge a fortune 

Hi Rick

If you look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your Model

Then search the Audio section you will find small exploded drawings showing where speakers are for each system. Get the part numbers for the HK stuff then search the internet for the best prices and supply. You could get all the HK stuff and AMP and swap them yourself make sure the under seat speakers are there and working then add a sub if you need it 

May not be as costly as you think

Thank you so much, that's a massive help
