BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 Works fine, the olds did a Pioneer h/u and its all fine. Good sound as well. Just got to get a plug thing for it and you'll be sweet. There are 2 speakers in the parcel tray, 2 tweeters in the door panels and 2 spakers up by your feet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliluya 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 What radius are you talking about ?? I have installed two sony headunits in the car and they both fits perfectly ... I'll try and hunt down some pics later .. As for speakers .. if your car is optioned then you'll have 3 speakers on the front on each side other wise you'll just have two .. and i beleive there is just 2 speakers in the back ... i think back one is around 3-4inch .. The front mid can fit a boston acustic 5.1/4'' perfectly with no work involved .. tweeters must be around 1 to 1.5 inch .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1N STYL 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 well the bottom corners of my H/U has like a round corner, not square. I have been told that with a desent H/U the sound from the standards speakers are pretty mint...is it still worth aftermarket ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*RJ* 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Sorry to hijack your thread, but has anyone had overheating issues in their E36? My car seems to generate a lot of heat in that space (this was while I didn't have the head unit in there). I've been looking at putting in an extractor fan...

My car seems to generate a lot of heat in that space (this was while I didn't have the head unit in there). I've been looking at putting in an extractor fan... might aswell just save time and get sic* :puke: to close it now.I think the area around my gear shift gets hot, after long hours driving.

aliluya 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Yes with a decent headunit and factory speakers you will notice a major difference ... as the headunit was the first thing i changed and i noticed quite a big difference ... As for heat go, yes there is a lot of heat produced in that area, but shouldn't be enought to overheat. When i had the TV where the top vent is it got even hotter in that area and neither the TV nor headunit overheated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
