    Oh no you diiiii'nt (E34 content)

    I am working on a '93 540iT.

    The guy is a complete dick, (OK, not a dick at all, but his identity is secret!) but wants the best sound I can do without spending a bazillion dollars, or a billion hours.

    The issue, as with damn near all BMWs, is front stage/midbass.

    I have an old set of seriously badass Phoenix Gold ZPA160 drivers. These are actual MADE IN THE USA speakers, from back in the glory days of PG. They are in really nice condition, but they have a few scratches on the back sticker:



    As far as compared to stock:

    So this is just a teaser thread on what I am doing to this poor old touring.

    I am building MDF baffles to mount the speakers to, recessing them into the factory locations, then dynamatting the metal of the panel behind the speaker.

    I sure wish E30s had this kind of space!

        540it subwoofer box

        This is the 10 sided box that I built for a single 12 ported (yes I said 10 sided)and it fits in the spare tire well.

        Not finished yet but you get the idea





        And yes I work with Luke (stereoinstaller1)

          Luke, do you remember the E34 from the early 90's with the crazy front stage? The owner installed 10's in the kicks and had the tweeterpods that motorized up out of the factory dash locations. I think his name was Ed or Earl Zausner or something like that...

            Test fit

            This is the test fit of the box

            Comes out to about 1.9 cubic feet.

                I had seen this in person today. I am sure the owner will be pleased to say the least!

                      Andy, those pics do not do justice to just how fucking cool that box is.

                      Nice job, bubba.
