2001 BMW 7 series audio install

bigaudiofanat · 03-03-2010, 04:56 PM

Yes they are 3 ways, I hope this weekend I can start installing them. the tweeter and 4 inch mid already have a space in the door. The woofer however will be fiberglassed into the kick panel.

Today I got a little bit done, got another piece of the sub box fitted to the trunk, as it is not a straight forward square trunk it takes some time.

At least you won't have to work around trunk springs in this car

Kind of weird that the door speakers aren't bigger. Crazy aftermarket stereos.

Are you doing like 1/2 the trunk with the box or all of it?

bigaudiofanat · 03-03-2010, 05:55 PM

It is pretty much going to be the back board is going to be where the 2 12's are going to be. The new floor is 3 inches above from the old one allowing both amps to be flush mounted into it. Thus allowing a little more than half of the trunk space to remain. The other thing is the rear deck speakers will be removed totally and new ones installed in the rear doors where there is already pre existing ones.

With other stuff going on I still was able to get the JL clean sweep in.

Started out taking the panels off.

Cat always lending a hand.

I HATE WIRE TAPS

Soldering all the wires

Wrapped the JL's wires up to clean up the look.

vipor · 03-07-2010, 08:39 PM

How much current is available from the factory amp wiring? How much does the JL pull?

bigaudiofanat · 03-07-2010, 08:57 PM

Not much at all, all the JL clean sweep does it analyze and clean the signal and drop it to low level for the new amps.

vipor · 03-07-2010, 09:02 PM

Ah cool I looked for it but couldn't find it. Nice looking product.

bigaudiofanat · 03-08-2010, 05:32 PM

Today i worked on the kick panels. The reason for this is there is no stock location for a 6.5 inch speaker in the door. Also this will help imaging a bit by having them facing the drive and passenger.

Drilled holes to help the fiberglass hold to the stock panel.

Laying down the foil and tape to protect the carpet.

Laying the cloth and resin

While that was curing I took off the door panel to take a look at the mid and tweeters.

The owner said that the speakers were upgraded but he did not know what they were. All that was upgraded was the tweeter.

Have to make a bracket to hold the smaller mid but will be well worth it.

The new tweeter

bigaudiofanat · 03-08-2010, 06:02 PM

Still waiting on the subs and amps. Speaker wire should be here tomorrow so I can at least get 2 of the 3 speakers installed in the front and the two in the rear doors.

bigaudiofanat · 03-09-2010, 04:51 PM

Today got a good deal done.

Dynamat was installed

Fedex and ups dropped off the reming stuff needed.

Ran the new speaker wire threw the doors.

Lube anyone?

bigaudiofanat · 03-09-2010, 04:52 PM

Fish wire slid pretty well

Trimmed the fiberglass will wrap it tomorrow

New rear speakers

wow sick project matt - looks like you really love what you do ..

bigaudiofanat · 03-11-2010, 03:18 PM

Today I got a few things done even though it was raining.

One of the head rest tv's in.

Rear speaker in it's bazel.

Subs

Got the openings cut.

Box starting to come together

Sub box done "except for wrapping with cloth"

speedfreak28 · 03-11-2010, 03:45 PM

that box looks too big for those IDQ's, they dont like much more than 1 cubic ft. How come he went with the V2 IDQs? Be careful with that amp and those subs in a box that size.
