I have 2 sets of these

I have 2 sets of these Focal 100 VRS components. One set from my older recently killed E92 and a new in box set seen here. I loved them in the other car but it had the simple hifi system in it. I replaced it with an Alpine deck, Technic harness and different amps with a separate sub. The sound improvement was wonderful. My new E92 has the idrive driven Logic 7 Harmon Kardon system. Please tell me there is a way to put these in as they were infinitely better. I wonder if the Logic 7 amp could even drive them but I dont know the wattage output. These take 40w RMS at 4 ohm btw. They arent my old Boston Pros but they are better than the Harmon Kardons.

A limited number of speakers fit in the E92 door because of thin doors
and the thickness of the speakers.

If you read the audio thread sticky at the top of the page it tells you
which on in a list.

I think you misunderstood me. I know these fit. I had them in my other E92. The issue is this. E92 has a Logic 7 system. I want to know how to integrate them into that system. What kind of power does the Logic 7 amp have? Can it drive these 40W speakers? If not can I replace the amp easily?

It's actually pretty pathetic as the published power is at 10 percent distortion.
40 watts at 10 percent distortion and this achieved by using 2 ohm speakers
at 4 ohms it would be 25 watts.

Hmm...that would essentially be like me running them off of an aftermarket deck with no amp at all. Not terrible but in no way would they sound their best. So I will need to find an 8 channel amp and integrate it. I dont care about the 9th center channel. I usually have it off anyway.

Audiotec Fisher Helix 8 channel DSP/Amp's recommended though there
are many amps in the this category (multi channel with decent power
and distortion specs)now.

Well HU power is more like 12w rms, so the L7 amp would still likely be better than that (but obv aftermarket would be the way to go to make them come alive).
