[QUOTE="Esjee, post: 219759, member: 6860"] 1) There are a few 5.25" comps out there. I've seen Focal, RS Audio, Eton and MB Quarts used in E39 in stock location. The DLS are a good pedigree but listen to a few speakers first before deciding. The door panel is not very deep so you'd have to be careful in choosing a speaker with the correct depth that will not require cutting steel. 2) No, but have you tried e-bay? I thought the stock HU was quite decent. A good installer will be able to fit most 1DIN HU in the stock location and make it look good. Maybe change the speakers first and run it with stock HU and see how you like it. 3.1) If you choose the right SW, build a correct enclosure and get the x-over setting right there shouldn't be a need for cutting boot panel and you'll get plenty of bass upfront. Experiment with it before deciding to cut anything. 3.2) Don't know about LCP's product but infinity baffles usually don't produce tight and controlled bass as an enclosed SW would. If you're going for SQ, I'd suggest enclosed SW. Check out the forums and info at this website: [url]www.bimmerfest.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
