Big 6 1/2 inch kick panel built. F*ckin Focals sound good. These are the older good ones. Smooth mids and highs and warm mid low.

Can you open your glove box?

[dlmrun2002]

Did you ever put your gloves in the glove box? I didn't think so.
Opens 1/2 way. Center console holds tons of sh*t and each door has pockets. That's where I stash my "gloves".

not bad, I'm planning on doing something similar.

How do you like the midbass extension -low?
Some have complained about this.
Where are you cutting it offf on the bottom end?
Where you able to mount directly to the factory location - no cutting of metal - spacer?
Where is the tweet?

I like the install.

I don't use driving gloves, but still like the glovebox.

How about the other side, still have a hood release lever?

Low hz filter set at 120hz with a a 12 db slope. No metal cut-not sure if I cut the plastic panel the 5 inchers sit in..I don't think I had to cut it since it was built up. Very happy with mid low on focal. The rest is handled buy sub in trunk. Used focal tweeter in factory panel after drilling out the standard upgrade tweeters. That German glue is like kryptonite... Very tough..

So it's not really getting low for midbass. To me, low extension on midbass is below 90hz down to 40/50 hz.
Too much localization when the sub plays that high.

Anyway. I'm glad that you are enjoying it. That's what really matters!

So how (the hell) do you plan on getting 90Hz at 120db in an E30?

[dlmrun2002]

As a pro sound engineer in my opinion if it sounds good--- it is good to me. That is what "Joe Meek" says. I never pinked my car and I can't afford to play very high spl's if I want to stay in the sound business.

Joe Meek was also a paranoid madman who was tone-deaf. ;) (just sayin')

Luke, I love your style.
Its what keeps me coming back and checking things out.

I would love to get 120 db from a midbass. Most guys are using larger midbass - 7 - 9's instead of 6.5's. And having very nice results. Install becomes very important.
I just prefer to get bass up front. and playing the sub too high just reminds me where it is.

I hope to be able to get this accomplished in my car. We'll see how it goes.
