Looks great!

I have a question: What is the max mounting depth in the sub-box? I want even more powerful speakers, but donīt know what speakers will fit.

Thanks

I believe pioneer with be the deepest depth you can get into the 5 series under seat enclosures , as you have to do 2 modifications to install the pioneers..

First mod is to remove the inner fins inside the enclosure

Second Mod is to place thick washers under the outer seat rail to give the outside rail half an inch of height , or else the pioneer with touch the rail on really good bass

safe to assume you had to remove the seats for this project?

My Project was for the Pioneer Subs not the SW8 EarthQuakes , the SW8 is a different diameter than the pioneer so can't make one to put if i don't own the sub to compare and make spacer for ...

Yes seat has to be undone , just don't disconnect the lead to the seat . just have the seat loose and slightly lifted.

I haven't completed the project , waiting for a warm sunny day and time on my hands

Ghost. Are you going to run the Stock amp? What are the goals for this system?

man, the SW841D installation is not a walk in the park... got the right side enclosure out, made an adaptor ring with a piece of 16mm MDF. It starts to look that "it may work"
confirmed: Sub Right Red/Blue + and Brown/White -.

I will power the subs with an old Eclipse 120 WRMS amp configured for LPB.

-- by the way, 1st battery replacement
535i, 2010. Poor version of the M (M-package)
