2001 BMW 7 series audio install

so you have both mids aimed at the driver? what you may think is plenty of space to a mid may not be. most mids are designed to be ran IB in a door or if its in a kick the kick has to be fabbed a certain way so that there is enough air space in it for the mid. Have you contacted the company to see how much air space is needed for that mid yet?

LOl no man and I do not plan to. Plenty of people run speakers in fiberglass pods. I do not see where there will be any problem. Plus mids like to have an enclosure they are not made to use an entire door as there box or enclosure.

Sub box in and got the rca's wired to the proper wires.

well here's something i bet you didnt' know. most of the ppl that run kicks don't have the back completely sealed off they have it vented into the carpet or the firewall or the dead space behind the kick. remember i know alot more then you.

matter of fact why dont' you do a lil test. build yourself a lil sealed box make it as small as possible. bout wat u think that kick is then listen to it. then build a bigger one and do the same thing. i promise you'll hear a huge difference.

and if you don't have the stuff to build a small and larger box. take a plastic bucket or bowl and glass it to make it stiffer and do that.

You really do need more space for the kicks than that, i told you to put them in the door and go low with the midrange.

You do? You have 6 posts and I hardly know you. So I will have to try to take your word for it.

And as I stated he did not want to cut up his doors. It is not always about what the best placement is, its what the customer wants as well.

horsemanwill · 03-16-2010, 09:00 PM

wait a minute you hardly know me? really is that why your on my aol? and why you've seen my posts on ca.com? and you KNOW i'm a mod at the iD forum? and why you've came to me with questions? so you really want to play dumb and lie to all these ppl that "trust" you with their vehicles?

bigaudiofanat · 03-16-2010, 09:13 PM

If I know you it is not from this forum. You only have 7 posts on this forum so I am not familiar with your user name on HERE. Lie to people? I do not think so.

horsemanwill · 03-16-2010, 09:31 PM

bigaudiofanat · 03-16-2010, 09:37 PM
