Disconnect Battery
Before you start the pro-
cess of replacing speakers,
disconnect and secure the
negative terminal from
your battery/power source.
This will prevent the risk
of damaging yourself or
the products.
Place the disconnected terminal in a secure and
isolated location away from any possible
connection belonging to the battery/power source
system.
BMW has many different sound systems and configurations in the same year/model.
This means that there are several different setups that can be installed in the same models
There can be different speakers in the front door, back door, rear shelf, side panel and center
in the dash board.
Before you begin with the installation, take a few minutes to check what kind of speaker you
have in your car. For this reason there can be a need for different tool, such as.
• Bit screwdriver
• Bit mini ratchet
• T15/T20 Torx bit
• Hex bit
• Philips bit
• Size 8mm & 10mm wrench
• Plastic PRY tool
• Narrow screwdriver
Remember: Use plastic PRY tool to avoid marks on the panels or damaging the plastic clips.
Take your time and don’t rush things. Don’t use brutal force to remove a grill, trim or door
panel.

B1
Below is the assembly for a typical application
of B1, however any combination of gasket may
be useful for a particular installation.
Mount the EVA gasket (97mm x 1mm) on the
underside of the basket. Peel off the protective
cover of the self adhesive tape. Put it on the
underside of the basket, press firmly all around
so that the EVA gasket sticks thoroughly.
Remove the centerpiece of the small ring of the
EVA gasket. This piece will not be used.
Use a narrow tool to pick up the small ring from
the same EVA gasket.
Place the small foam rings over the four
threads on the basket.
Mount the steel adaptor over the speaker and fix
the frame with four included screws.
Mount the EVA gasket (102mm x 1.5mm) on the

Start the dismount of the door cover by removing the decor trim panel.
Remove the door decor trim panel by using a PRY tool. Be careful with the ”hook” on the outer
end of the decor trim panel.
The rear door is done in a similar way.
Dismounting door panel
Installation
Remove the T20 screws. You need to remove the door handle as well, if the panel is equipped with one. Use
PRY tool and be careful. T20 screw at the top of the handle and in some models a screw at the bottom of the
handle.

Remove the door panel. Start on the inside. Use
a PRY tool. Insert the PRY tool behind the panel
and carefully bend the tool towards you. If your
car has a lock pin (6), make sure to remove it
before lifting the door cover.
There are several electric and mechanical
connectors on the backside of the door panel.
Disconnect the cables to the door handle,
speaker, window control and door light.

Changing speaker
Mount the DLS speakers back in the original place (Door panel or door frame). Use the bolts to attach the
DLS speaker in the door panel. Use a size 8mm or 10mm wrench to re-screw the three bolts to fix the
speaker. When the speakers are mounted in the door frame, use the T20 screw to refix the speaker.
Hint!
If you are also changing the tweeter and you have the speaker mounted in the door
panel, wait with reconnecting the speaker harness and remounting the door panel.
If the new speakers are powered by the factory installed radio/amplifier we recommend to use the included
cable adapter with installed high pass crossover for the midrange speaker. This crossover lowers the output
below 250Hz by 6db slope, to reduce resonances in the door panel and prevent the midrange speaker from
playing the lower bass tones.
Connect the factory speaker harness to the female connector of the adaptor and the male connector to the
new DLS midrange speaker. If the factory amplifier is replaced with a new one with built in high pass
crossover or more advanced DSP settings this cable won't be needed.

(male) (female)

Removing tweeter
Remove the tweeter cover. (Before you start with changing the tweeter, the door panel needs to be removed.)
Usually the tweeter cover is fixed with 2 or 3 clips, behind the tweeter cover. Start by removing the tweeter
cover. On some models you need to remove the whole window trim. Use a PRY tool (or by hand) to remove it
and be careful. Take it easy and use minimal force. When loose, disconnect the speaker harness from the
tweeter. In cars with sound systems without tweeters in the front doors, the tweeter plastic covers or trim can
be bought from BMW dealers or spare parts stores.

Remove the soft inside cover to find the tweeter. Gently press out the ”hooks” to loosen the tweeter. Unplug the
tweeter harness.

Now start the assembly of the door panel.
Reconnect all wires harness.
Connect all plugs to the door cover, reconnect the unlocking device, place the door cover from the top, by the
window seal and push it down gently. Make sure the clips are in place and can engage. Give the door panel a
push by the hand to attach to the clips. Mount and fasten all screws/bolts at the correct places.
Hint!
Be careful when the door panel is installed so that no cable get squeezed and/or pressed against the midrange
speaker when it´s installed in the door frame.
Remounting door panel
Place the DLS tweeter in the OEM mounting bracket. Make sure that the speaker harness is facing down. Press
the tweeter gently down and let all four hooks grab on the back of the tweeter. Reinstall the soft inside cover.
Make sure that the fitment is as before. It’s crucial when you remount the tweeter cover. The new DLS tweeter
comes with a crossover installed on the speaker cable.
Connect the tweeter cable together with the midrange speaker connector. Use the included adhesive foam pads
to secure the crossover and cables in the door panel or door frame.
Start putting the tweeter cover and the window trim back. Be careful when reaching the top outer corner on the
window, make sure that the plastic on the outside gets in the correct position for perfect with the rubber sealing
around the window frame.

Removing rear speaker
Remove the speaker grill by using a PRY tool. As always, be careful when removing trim/covers or grills.
Normally the screws are T20, but T15 or even Philips screwsare used. Unscrew them and save them for later
assembly. Lift up the speakers and unplug the speaker harness from both speakers (or the speaker, if just one
is mounted)
Plug in the OEM harness in the new speaker from DLS to the OEM
harness. Plug in cable from the new DLS tweeter to the new speaker. (Or
use the connection cable to connect the tweeter and the DLS midrange
speaker)
The cable to the tweeter must be placed under the shelf panel, before the
new speaker is installed. Carefully place the screws in the threads, so you
don’t drop them. Fix the speaker with the screws/bolts. Finally attach the
speaker grill.
Changing rear speaker

Removing center speaker
Some sound systems don’t have a tweeter or even a hole for the tweeter. Make sure that the DLS speakers
fit your sound system.
Remove the speaker grill by using a PRY tool. Be careful when removing the cover/grille.
Normally the screws are T20, but T15 or even Philips screws and bolts are used in some cars.
Hint! Be careful so you don’t drop the screws/bolts.
You don’t want to have the them rattling around in your dashboard.
Unscrew them and save them for later assembly when you mount the new DLS speakers.
Take out the speakers and unplug the speaker harness from both
speakers (or the speaker, if just one is mounted)
Use the speaker harness to plug in the new driver from DLS. Plug in
cable from the new DLS tweeter to the DLS speaker. (Or use the
connection cable to connect the tweeter and the DLS driver)
Use OEM screws or bolts to reattach the speakers.
Be careful so the speaker harnesses don’t get stuck. Put the speaker
grill back in place and press it down gently.

Running-in time
Allow the component kit to play for at least 15-20 hours in order to perform at its
possibly best. This run-in can be made with tone sweep or with just music.
Start at a moderate volume and increase the volume step by step during the running
in period. After the 15-20 hour run in session the performance and characteristics will
be in the correct condition.
For technical assistance, ask your car audio dealer where the product was sold or the distributor in your country.
