Wow. I just read through this entire thread and now my head hurts. I am for sure going to have to get one of the 12" boxes for my E30. Just need to get a few more maintenance bits done to the car first. I have not heard one of these boxes yet but given the testimonials I for sure want one. I am just glad I don't have to go through the hassle of designing my own box for the E30. I am not going to lie doing trial and error boxes can get really annoying LOL.CCW- when every second counts... The police are just minutes away!

Hey luke, I have a 91 318i sedan with garbage speakers, I'll be buying your box, but i had a question about the premium speakers... you keep referencing the premium e34 as the end all be all speaker for this car, but i can only find drivers for the e34, not the full enclosure for in the back. do i need to buy the e30 premium speakers for back, then just toss out the drivers that come in that and also buy the e34 drivers to put in them?

One final (for now) question on the sub... I hear mention that porting the rear seat will give a more accurate bass note. I'm not interested in total volume, I'll probably never turn it up past half, but I am interested in precision. Should I hollow out the foam on the seat in front of the ski pass through? I wouldn't want to poke all the way through so that it can keep the stock look... will this actually make a difference, and if so do i want to just hollow out a few 3in holes?

I am hunting for ski pass seat for the very same reason. Drove around without a back seat for a while and bass was extremely precise and low. With the seat installed and all the foam in front of ports removed, the bass even though quite low sounds muddy. the vinly flaps around adding an extra tone altogether. Sometimes I wish I had gone the 12" route :(

Find another seat if you must, but cut your foam down about 2" in the ski pass, make sure you don't go through anywhere and do 2 4" ports , try to keep them as short as possible to prevent interactions, and put them in front of the woofer, vertically.
Picture of a gutted seat? How far do you guys cut out the foam? I have a Weller soldering gun with a hot knife attachment that seems to be perfect for the job.
