Super helpful thread - thank you to everyone that contributed!

My install was in a 2016 F80 HK with leather and rear window shades.

The hints were awesome:
- Don't remove window controls (front and back)
- Don't disconnect panels - put on a box
- Slipping in the rear tweeter behind the window shade was a pain. I just had to keep trying and finally it sat in right. This was probably the hardest part.
- The tool kit was essential

Another note:
- The center front should have a warning about not over tightening the screws as they easily strip - one of three was shot but the others were tight with no vibration.

It took about 4 hours and with the hints on various threads, was pretty painless. The video on the website was helpful, but not up-to-date re: the issues above.

The sound is much better and this was worth the upgrade. The biggest change is "fatigue." I didn't quite understand what this was, but now that I can listen to loud, clear music without getting a headache, I understand what it means.

Looking forward to the underseat subs....
