And its unlikely I'll have it until the first of the year, but I'll be junkyarding for some small motors and stuff. I am so excited about this. Any rules or what not? Stipulations?

I had to stuff blankets in the "c" pillars because they vibrated so much I was affraid it was going to break my windows. I had to put foam behind my license plate and between my tail lights. My rear view mirror kept falling off. It runs @ .5ohm and man it's loud. I'm waiting to get new mids and highs first. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 11-14-2007, 06:51 AM | #11 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | is this the stereo seth green talked about in the 2003 version of the italian job that was so loud it will blow women's clothes off? __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 11-14-2007, 06:52 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: chicago Posts: 172 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 I had to put foam behind my license plate and between my tail lights. | nothing worse than a rattling ass license plate & bracket. what speakers you plan on getting for your setup? | | | 11-14-2007, 07:08 AM | #13 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Quote: Originally Posted by col.hapablap nothing worse than a rattling ass license plate & bracket. what speakers you plan on getting for your setup? | I agree, sounds like crap! I ran a 10" sub in an isobaric box with almost 1000 watts bridged going to it. Nobody believed it was only 1 10" sub, lol. I like the tightness of the 10" vs. 12's or 15's and it sounded great at low volumes. If you get a good quality subwoofer and give it lots of clean power, it will outperform bigger speakers and give you nice crisp sound. You should've see the look on peoples faces when I popped my trunk and that little ten was staring them in the face It sounds better and TAKES UP LESS SPACE FTW! __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 11-14-2007, 12:15 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | I have no doubt this mod is possible, it's just something I haven't looked into at any length. One of the problems I saw was motor placement; in the E46 models it comes out of the side of the 6" wide strip of seatback, which doesn't really exist in the ti. As such, it seemed it would have to be a box on the C pillar. One thing I did realize is that a single switch could be wired to both sides. I'm not really sure why you'd have one open with the other closed, and it'd be nice to actuate them both at the same time. Good luck guys, should turn out cool. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 11-14-2007, 02:42 PM | #15 | Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: SW Michigan Posts: 90 | [YET. f reaching for those damn things [/QUOTE] I have discovered that reaching the rear windows through the hatch makes them much more convenient to open / latch / close. _Rick | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
