HK audio system same as G20?

Couple of questions here:

1) Is the HK system (particularly the speaker sizes and placement) identical to that in the G20 3-series? I assume it is but wanted to verify.

2) Has anyone tried upgrading the system? I noticed that Bavsound -- who I've used in the past to upgrade the hi-fi (non-HK) system on my F23 -- has speaker and subwoofer upgrades available for the G20 but not the G80, so either they're incompatible or they just haven't had a chance to verify fitment yet.

I believe they're both HK, 688 option, so yeah all components should be identical.
I don't think there are enough aftermarket offerings yet, so I'll hold on doing any upgrades until all the crazy manufacturing issues clear up and enough options are present.

Yup full upgrade on mine. The stock system is garbage.

I still don't understand why on an 80k car they don't give an option to upgrade it to something more than the 40-50k car has.
