Custom E60 amplifier's enclosure (2 amps)
Little background here...
This 535d was to receive 3 amplifiers and one sound processor. Given the size of all those components and keeping in mind the spare wheel had to be kept there was not much choices.
So we got a custom rack especially designed and made for this car.
Here are the build pictures
Final picture. Needs to tidy up those wholes and the mirrors (Acrylic) were covered for now to protect them...

It sounds very good but a few adjustments will be made later on this week to get it playing perfect. Takes a bit of time to adjust everything, especially because all the amps are different.
All front speakers were upgraded to Gladen components while the rear deck and central speakers were upgraded to JL Audio coax 4".
There is a side subwoofer getting on the left side too. Designed by a company in the UK to fit perfectly in the left trim cover.
Pictures to follow when completed 100%.

Not sure that would be cost effective. My carpenter is very good, but pricey.
It took him about 7h to design and cut this box to fit. He had the car for the day basically.
I am sure you could find a good carpenter locally that could do the same.
