If you are planning on housing the amp under the parcel shelf then you can grab the speaker High inputs from there itself instead of running them back from the under seat subs. In the EU std audio system them the subs are just normal speakers connected in parallel to the front door speakers.

if you need pics of an installed system, just PM me and I'll post them here. I'm told that my E60 sedan has a HiFi speaker set (european car). Sounds stupid but I'm not the first driver of this car so that's why I'm not sure what it is. Unfortunately the radio stations aren't worth listening to (on hifi audio levels) and when I play a CD, I can't read the RDS information which shows the speed-traps..... So I listen to the engine while keeping an eye on the speed trap locations and not use the audio system stuff......
Hi! PM sent. All guys who questioned audio will appreciate your help very much, it's understood that without it, it takes 10 times more effort and time. Well you are right with the speed traps (but they don't work in CR anyway, you gotta use antiradar) and radio stuff, I mainly listen to music in the city, going from home to office and back, while waiting in cues, preparing for meetings and relaxing, otherwise it's easier to listen to the engine and race everywhere Good quality audio will just be nice. If you have a great sound at home then at work why have speakers similar to your laptop ones in the car.

So, finally a moment where there was daylight and time and camera and car all at the same time at the right place.
This car has the 'HiFi active loudspeakersystem' on the option list for 735 euro. (if relevant: also on the list are the CD-changer for 567 euro and 'handy vorbereitung' for 920euro)
don't seem to have any speakers in the rear doors. So the total adds up to
1 dash top
+ 2 door pillar
+2 middle of door
+2 under seat
+2 under rear window (shelf)
= 9 speakers if that thing in the middle top of the dashboard is a speaker (with an infrared sensor for the automatic airco built in) at all.
