320i factory speakers any good?

[arcon]

within 2 weeks i should have a 2001 320i 2.2L parked on my driveway (jap import but the bmw pre-inspection was all good).

i'll be doing an audio upgrade with 4-channel amp and 10" sub i already own, as well as a new MP3 headunit. i have no idea how good the factory speakers are or if i'll be able to fit aftermarket speakers in their locations.... like if the tweets will fit behind those grills at the mirrors.... in my old '96 318iS i had Infinity 5010cs speakers and they were crap, harsh highend frequencies.

i'm considering 5.25" DLS MS5 components for the front. will these be better than factory?

i have install systems in 320i and you can find seperate spaekr wires for all the speakers in the amplifier that is in the trunk,
i used a 6 channels amplifier and put capacitors on the tweter wires with 1 single 12 and all the factory speakers the car sound very good and the idea was to replace the factory speakers later,something that we never did
good luck with your installation
