Timmay77's stereo build (complete aftermarket system)
I am in the process of tearing out EVERYTHING from my 01 M5 and putting a complete aftermarket system in. I will update this thread as things progress. Let's start with the parts list of the new stuff...

Alpine IVA-W505 - 7" 2 din multimedia station
Alpine NVE-P1 - removable navigation drive (no vss needed)
Alpine PXA-H100 - Imprint module
Alpine DHA-S680 - DVD/CD Changer
Alpine SPX-17REF - 6.5" component set
Alpine SPS-500 - 5.25" co-axial rear fill
Alpine SWR-1242D (2) - 12" DVC 4 ohm subwoofer
Memphis Audio 16-MCD1000 - 1100x1 @ 1 ohm sub amp
Memphis Audio 16-MCA2004 - 4 channel amp

Pac TR7 - Video bypass module (illegal I know, I don't want to hear it )
PAC SWI-JACK - steering wheel control module

Mounting kit for deck from Ebay
eBay Motors: BMW 5 series E39 double din bezel &complete install-kit (item 360119388261 end time Jan-04-09 12:07:28 PST)=

Now for some pictures....

Hole in dash where the Nav monitor used to be.....


Rear deck removed, speaker for the PDC. (Thanks DouglasABaker)


Subwoofer location. These are actually mounted from the bottom, but the screws have to be removed from the top.


GPS antenna (I think) on drivers side under the rear deck


Radio antenna (I think) in the drivers side rear pillar


Driver's side rear speaker loaction


Passenger's side rear speaker pod. Much larger than I thought they would be.



Trunk after my DSP Amp, Radio module, and CD changer were removed.


Wiring harness where I am going to tap into the speaker wires.

I'd seriously Dynamat the trunk if you are going to run a 12" DVC sub at 1 Ohm impedance. Lots and lots of resonance everywhere.

2 - 12" DVC subs in a sealed box. Yes, I will dynomat the crap out of everything. I am going to use almost the same enclosure I used in another one of my vehicles. Sounded great.

Have you thought of using an isobarik enclosure? You will have no trunk space left if you run two 12's in a standard sealed enclosure. You might as well run them free air using the trunk as the enclosure.

I'm interested to see your build.

I will have plenty of trunk space left, I only need 2 sqft. I am going to do a wedge shaped box, kind of, with the woofers facing at an angle up towards the back deck and at the rear seats. I am going to seal off the back of the trunk from the area the woofers are firing. I am going to mount the woofers magnet out and reverse their polarity just for the heck of it. I removed the ski bag and the door in the center arm rest. I can put the center arm rest down to look at the subs or allow more sound into the cabin. This is what I did in my Cabrio, resulting in AWSOME bass response, for a convertibel at least. I may put a black light or something in there to light it up, haven't thought that far out yet.....

Probably a lot, since each sub weighs around 30lbs.....

That's simple - you only get 1/2 credit for each post if you don't know how to spell the name of the city in which you live

So I did some more work today. I got the driver's door panel off. Thanks to the guy's at BSW and their youtube videos, this was too easy. I took the panel off, remove the OEM pod and tweeter and mounted my "Pener baffle" to fit my 6.5" woofer. I need to make a bracket to hold my tweeter, which is no big deal. I then started to take the molding apart in the doorway to run cables from the dash to the trunk. That is a complete pain. I can not seem to get the panel off that hold the hood release/dead pedal/trunk pop. I worked on that thing for 30 min..... Anyone have any ideas?

Anyway, pics...

No need to make a mount for the tweeter. Just stick it into the foam that was surrounding the factory bracket - it will fit in tight and will stay put nicely...
