  1. M2 looks great with the M decals.Welcome to s55 ownership! Neither thought you’d replace the e36!
  2. Cool fix to sort rattles. Also good on door card clip mounts 😀
  3. There’s also the odd single din unit with carplay / android auto. At the pricey there is the Porsche high end single din , at the other end there are a number of headless CP AA units on AliExpress
  4. Very cool and welcome. F80 is phenomenal car… but I might be a bit biased on that 😀
  5. Not so sure about that one , same challenge with my cruise control with mine also having a UK VO. All roads lead to a replacement cluster. Got to remember setting it for 62 mph rather than 100 😀 But it would certainly solve the default Map location as well rather than asking dealer for a manual download of NZ/Aus. Also stop BMW UK dealers asking if I’d like to have car serviced.
  6. On the Speed Limit Detection retrofit using the process earlier my car has since been in for a service in the last week. As a result the 8TH option is now showing as an official factory option. I did a online BMW vin lookup today so no chance of it being wiped during any future servicing 😀
  7. Great you see the positive out of it with how the medical team worked to stabilise you. There are some phenomenal people that fix us up when we get broken. One of those life events, happy to have survived …. But fu$k, that was a bit close. Speedy and progressive recovery.
  8. Know what you mean with small bikes. Wife had a bucket bike when I met her. Basically a cheap low cc bike for organised car park racing. Don’t need to be doing 737 take off speeds to have a good time 😀
  9. Other way round do it is to get something like an AVSS type thin walled high temp insulated wire and twist it together. It won’t take up as much room in the door connector garter. It was a tight fit from what I remembered . eg. Automotive Wires AVSS 24 22 20 18 16 14 13AWG Speaker Audio Cable OFC Oxygen-free Copper Thin PVC Insulation Car Wire https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0jAYWX
  10. I think so , was a Jaycar speaker wire. 79x 0.2 strand.
  11. Your thinking and logic is good. I have my 8s doing most of the bass range as they do it well and articulate the bass lines nicely with a reasonable amount of authority.

  13. That’s looking good. Good combo of specs and ideal sealed box sub. 11mm one way xmax spec good too. If you compare to the focal that one really wants to be in an infinite baffle set up rather than a sealed box. With the dual voice coils you could go the other way with a 1 ohm parallel load depending on sub amplifier. More recently there seems to be a number of class D amps that are 1ohm stable. You just do the old I R / V ohms law and work out maximum current and then wire gauge that’s suited. But I suspect 2mm2 will be more than large enough at your target power levels. With the depth also allow room for the rear vent. If the gap is too small the sub won’t preform as well as it could. Think of it as additional spring loading if it’s too close to the back wall. One trick you can do with the enclosure is to stuff it. Has the effect of making the enclosure 20% larger to the sub if you are tight on volume. If you can fit it looking like an excellent choice. At the high end price wise ( JL audio ) I’d skip that and use a stereo integrity bm11 . Similar box size requirements and shallow depth. Bass wouldn’t be as tight as alpine but can go down to 20hz with 0.4 box and 3 inch depth.
  14. See if you can find one with a qtc of around 0.5 which in a sealed box should be around 0.7 qts . Best combo of response and low end imho. Cabin gain will help bring up the sub bass region below 50hz can be anywhere between +6 - +10 db. Your plan for back corner are ideal as usually will play +3db louder than other locations . Important when running an 8. With QTS value if you haven’t already picked up on it a value of 0.5 is very tight bass but not so good on extension , 0.7 considered the best combo of rhythm and low end extension. 1.0 and above is considered boomy and flabby bass, but ok for hip hop genre where the overhang can work quite well. There is quite a good online simulator for TS modelling of speaker response for a given speaker Loudspeaker database. And cabin gain can be modelled via a tab in REW if your interested In going that far.https://www.roomeqwizard.com/ Edit, had forgotten about winSD modelling software, worth a look. https://www.subwoofer-builder.com/WinISD.htm
  15. Score, Decent poly capacitor on the tweeter and good power handling, tweeter on a gimbal so you can align them better in relation to front. .Looks like a quality coaxial speaker.
