'89 Convertible Sound System Help

[eco325iX]

siggy, are the tweeters functioning properly and its hard to tell if all the tabs are still on the door pods? I'm also interested in the better condition climate control panel (64111385879).

Zzyzx85, I had to look back at those photos posted on page 47 to understand what you meant. I like this design, it will look clean from underneath!

I would like to keep my CM5908 head unit and have it serviced to restore all of its functionality. As I had mentioned earlier, I'm planning to restore this vehicle back to its glory days, but with some...

Thanks Stan, I'll look into it.

One more thing, do you happen to know if the Stromung is a simple bolt-up application like the original exhaust? The reason I ask is that I want to replace...

I definitely would, but Alpine does not make a 5.25" component set, they have a 4" S2-S40C, 6.5" S2-S65C and 8" S2-S80C available in round. It looks like options are:

Gotcha, good to know, maybe I'll wait for the next group purchase. I have some other projects that need tending to, plus I need the front exhaust section as well. The accordion/flex pipe near the manifolds...

Update: I removed and tested the driver's side speakers. All the speakers are genuine BMW speakers, however the rear armrest speaker has a part # of 65131386544 which also looks different from the passenger...

Damn I missed this, how often does Stromung produce a batch of these? My vert is in need of an entire new exhaust system and this looks like excellent craftsmanship and quality! Hopefully I can jump...

Guys, I appreciate all the advice and thanks for hanging in there with me. Surprisingly this is the first vehicle that I have ever had that has audio problems, so this really isn't my wheelhouse. I watched...

reelizmpro, is there a corresponding Alpine speaker for the front kick panel that would pair well with the rear Alpine S2-S50 speakers? And would component speakers be ideal to replace the tweeters in...

reelizmpro, thanks for the suggesting the Alpine S2-S50 speakers.

I removed my passenger side speakers to get a better understanding of the sizes. Here are some photos to compare the tweeters,...

I did some looking around for those genuine BMW speakers, both are still available at GETBMWPARTS.com however they are rather expensive...

Fronts: BMW part # 65131386546 = $149.42 per speaker...

No worries about the fader switch, I'm no expert when it comes to car audio systems, hence my questions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I am understanding thus far is that the two...

[eco325iX]

Okay this is starting to make sense, realOEM has two speaker wiring diagrams for my vehicle, one diagram that list the front and rear speakers as the same part number and the other diagram that illustrates...

[eco325iX]

Thanks for the feedback, but now I am even more confused. I was under the impression the CM5908 did not have a fader switch in the late model vehicles, or am I wrong?

In regards to the 5.25"...

Hello R3V community,

I have an ‘89 E30 vert with the original BMW Sound System, however the PO made some modifications that I am trying to revert back to somewhat stock. The head unit is...
