General instructions

General instructions for MATCH UPGRADE speaker systems for BMW vehicles
The MATCH UPGRADE mid-high speaker systems (UP X4BMW-FRT.1 to .3) for BMW are 2-way co-axial speaker systems which will be mounted in the original speaker locations. To reach the maximum sound quality, we recom-mend to use a separate DSP amplifier. In this case it is mandatory to set a highpass filter with 120 Hz crossover frequency / 24 dB slope inside the used DSP amplifier.

General installation instructions for MATCH components
To prevent damage to the speakers and possible in-jury, read this manual carefully and follow all instal-lation instructions. This product has been checked for proper function prior to shipping and is guaran-teed against manufacturing defects. For a proper performance and to ensure full war-ranty coverage, we strongly recommend to get this product installed by an authorized MATCH dealer.

General instruction for installing MATCH speaker systems
The method of installation chosen and level of ex-ecution will effect the overall performance of the speaker system. Treat each installation step with a high degree of attention. We strongly recommend that you operate the com-plete audio system at low volume before final in-stallation. This will allow a trial listening test before securing the loudspeakers into their mounting loca- tions. Install the cabling in a manner which precludes any danger of the leads being exposed to shear, crush-ing or rupture forces. If there are sharp edges in the vicinity (e.g. holes in the bodywork) all cables must be cushioned and protected to prevent fraying. Make sure that all speaker wires easily reach the speaker terminals without stress on the wire or con-nectors.
Attention: Ensure that the loudspeakers are cor-rectly connected (phase), i.e. plus to plus and minus to minus. Once you have tested the complete speaker system and have confirmed correct operation, turn the audio system off and prepare the loudspeaker for final mounting.

Installation

Removal of the door panel / rear side panel
In order to install the MATCH speakers in the origi-nal mounting positions it is mandatory to remove the door panels / rear side panels.
If you are uncertain how to remove the panels, please either ask your local BMW dealer or an ex-perienced car audio dealer for assistance. In any case follow the instructions of the car manufacturer.
Please pay attention to the following notes:

The cover is fastened with several hidden screws to the metal sheet of the car. Make sure that you have loosened all screws before you try to re-move the cover.
Additionally the cover is fixed by numerous plas-tic clips, which may be damaged during the dis-assembly when the ambient temperature is be-low 10°C. Always pull the cover horizontally to loosen the clips – never apply any vertical force. Note that broken plastic clips have to be replaced before reinstalling the cover in order to avoid un-desired rattle and noise.

Installation of the UP X4BMW-FRT.1, .2 & .3
After you have dismantled the cover, you can re-move the original midrange speaker. Then con-nect the UP X4BMW-FRT.1 / .2 / .3 to the original speaker cable harness and insert it into the original mounting position. If the loudspeaker is directly driven by the car radio, the enclosed inline crossover must be plugged be-tween the speaker and the original speaker cable harness.
