Can't stand the bug any longer and decided to upgrade my E39 ICE set-up from standard. However, it revolves around a simple passive set-up of front comp and sub with 2 amps powering the speakers. The Components, 7" CDT Eurosport Competition Series :love: This speakers, come with a different Crossover unit which is bigger than the normal one. The Italian amp, that's gonna drive the Comp.Celestra VA250 (2 x 50 watts rms), :rock: Want to go for the VA210 (100 watts), saddly no money:20: will have to make do with this mother@?!!er. The fabrication to the door. It involves, fiber fabrication as the component is a 7"and I dont want to lose out or drill the original speaker cutting on the side panel Sound proofing processThe original black soundrpoofing is taken out and kept, as dont want to cut or tore it up. The process is still ongoing, will try to update for fellow ICE lover Once completed
Original look. Connecting wires to Ori HU
Fabricating areas for the Sub placement and the Sub enclosure, just gonna use a10", but enclosure cubic size will be enough to ensure bass sound is adequate

Thus, still have to go the upgraded HU routehttp://img221.imageshack.us/img221/5229/hujt7.jpg HU selected, Nakamichi 500 not the 700 as wish for, not enough moneyla. This is where I put the HU, custom it in the glove compartmenthttp://imgcash5.imageshack.us/Himg72/scaled.php?server=72&filename=glovecompuq2.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=480 I still use the IPOD for easy listening, as the line in is using the Naka HU using the Naka processor to give better sound production, and still able to use the original steering command to up/down volume and change track.Only when I listen to the HU for serious listening that I need to use the Naka remote control to access.
