Nice set up man, I bet it sounds great.

Do you mind me asking how much it set you back?

Cheers, It sounds pretty good... Could be improved a hell of alot though.

I bought all this audio gear for my old car (toyota camry) which after two months of having got smashed into, so I never bothered to transfer all of it, bar the headunit into the BMW.

Headunit was $300,

Components were $250,

Coax were $150,

Amp was a trademe special for 90 bucks or something like that :P

That sounds like pretty good value for money,

My trying to find some good speakers for my sister's car, are those Alpine TypeS Coaxials very good?

Any others you would recommend? They need to be mounted on the rear parcel tray.

Cheers

The coaxials are good, probably not the best, but really good speakers can't run off heaudnits and sound nice too, but the Coaxe's seem to run just fine off the headunit.

It pays to shop around and see what you can get.

Looks good. You could have mounted the front woofers in the factory location with not too much effort, but the tweeter position is pretty good for an e30. Most tweeters sound slightly bright in the A-pillar sails, unless you hae some decent active crossover control.

What's the sound stage like? Not too low?

Nice setup regardless. B)

It's not too bad, sounds best when the doors are closed.

I'm yet to hear any quality music in it however, the headunit shuts the amp off if you put it into USB mode..? sounds like i'm using the Aerial remote for the amp, and the amp remove for the aerial <-- lol.

(have fixed this now)

Never thaught of the A-Pillar, Maybe next time eh? (want leather seats down the line)

Anyone noticed how the cone is nearly the same colour as the door fabric? lol

E. Allways use a wiring diagram kids.
