Back on track: E30 8",10" and 12" Subwoofers

Yes it does, but I'm aware I'll have to remove it to get the sub box in. Thats fine with me. I can buy a heatgun and go to town :)

You will go absolutely batshit crazy using a heatgun, don't even bother trying.

I highly recommend 2 or 3 el-cheap-o "500 watt" halogen work lamps face down. Let them (use 2) sit on their face-cages for 20 minutes in a closed trunk. Use the claw side of a hammer and pull towards you. Scrape all you can and put the lights back on when it gets too hard to continue, let it sit 10 minutes or so, repeat.

Try not to scrape paint, of course, and WD40 does a great job cleaning up the residue.

Just so ya know, I have weighed 2 different trunk tars, both were within ounces of 57lbs. The stereo won't be but a couple pounds more than that, so a 24V E30 with one of our stereos has a correct weight distribution, or pretty close to it. Kinda cool, huh?

I need to write a truly comprehensive article with all the stuff we now know about installing audio in E30s. One of these days in my "spare" time!

Wait...so it got to you before the tracking number said it was supposed to? WTG Fedex!

What woofer did you end up using? Glad to hear you are happy with it. Was the fit as tight as I said? No rattles at all, right?

Thanks!

Luke

i'm just using all pioneer head unit, speakers and woofer, and the planet audio 5 channel amp.

Luke, looking to purchase a box from you for my girlfriend's car in a few weeks. Anyway I can also get the sub and amp from you? I'd like to support a r3ver.

A little off topic - I have done some searching, can't find a really good answer to this.

I have a 90 E30, premium sound, 10" lukebox, Planet Audio AC1800.5 amp, and a 4 Channel headunit ( jvc kdx50-bt)

I finished up installing most of my interior this weekend, and now I'm starting to wonder about the HU. Will I see notable gains by going with a 6 RCA out (dedicated sub out) vs 4 RCA out in the HU? Everything is wired up/installed, just haven't had a chance to fire this all up.

Well, yes and no. That amp will combine the front and rear signals to make its own sub channel (there is a switch) so as long as you run the sub level controller (it came with it) all is fine.

Please PM 2 8" ltw box for manual top vert

Yessir, we will have those ready to ship shortly!

I will get a PM out to you as soon as Justin says we can have them ready.

Don't forget too, we now have E28, E34 and E39 boxes in stock and ready to ship!
