Nicely done bud, wish I had your skillsraise:

Did a little work over the weekend, I have flu so was not up to it.

After the resin cured, the woofer enclosures received some dampening

Woofer facia received some sealant

Since blocking off the vented opening in the enclosure, the volume was measured as 1.6L internally, so we decided to port it to 55hz, perfect for midbass.

All done

Door panels received deadening too

One good thing about doing wiring is you always get chance to clean where you have never before :roflol:

 

[Forest]

Looks amazing.
But how does it sound?

No Idea, have not finished yet, been working too late.

 

[ShaunB]

So finished up the install last night.

The foam behind the stock grills were removed, and the front received a coat of canyon black paint.

The logos from the audison grills were transferred to the tweeters and mids

Bass remote was mounted in the storage try

Everything back together looking all stock

Picked up some line noise, so will redoing the amp wiring tonight, UGH!!

[BillyBob]

Come now Bushknife... you need to finish this, so you can get started on mine...

Nice work bud.

How does it sound , bar the frustrating line noise....

 

[ShaunB]

How does it sound , bar the frustrating line noise....

Line noise has been sorted out. She is sounding good, speakers need to burn in for a few good hours more.

Looking at adding a processor, the stock BMW head unit really sucks.

 

[ShaunB]

Sooooo, change of plans, redoing install....again
