Herb,

Are you still selling the car? Are you replacing the mids under the seat or just adding an amp?

herb-
I'm local to you in Huntington Beach...if you don't mind me asking...I'd like to know who is doing the work. And if it hasn't already been done...let me know when you have it scheduled so I can swing by the shop and take a look at the work

Thanks

Chris

I guess then I'd just like to see your car when it's done...if you don't mind posting to the board when it's complete...I'll e-mail you. And if you're willing I'll swing by to see (and hear) the car

I have successfully added a mono amp for my sub box (dual 10 inch subs). It basiclly the same box I had in my previous car (g35 coupe). I did however used a different amp (since I don't plan on upgrading the factory speakers). Current setup is a Rockford Fosgate Mono Block amp (Punch P3001) 300 watts RMS, going to 2 10inch Rockford Fosgate subs. The sub box is a qlogic type 1 (.65 cubic feet per sub). I'll try to get some pics online as soon as I can.

Also, the trunk in the 5-series is very well sound insolated (well at least the ones without the fold down seats, can speak for the ones with them).
