I really hope those amps are screwed down... and you might want to do something with those cables, specifically the power cable that looks like it's under tension!
Slipping the clutch on downshifts might slow the car down and save on brakes but.... The clutch is far harder and more expensive to change than brakes But hey, it's your car and your money.
the girls you pick up in dark street corners and transport out into the woods sure will appreciate all the work you put into making the audio in your boot as good as humanly possible
they are as best as they can be to that. they do not move around under braking or cornering (or acceleration), and they only look crooked in the picture, they are not actually.
about the cables being under pressure, i did lift them to clear the RCA cables to avoid an even stronger whine from cables running by them (look at last piece of post for info on that). Inside the battery compartment there is about 1.5 feet of extra positive cable, and negative has plenty of slack, but not enough to roll up.
instead of putting a ton of money into this (or at least non-reversible stuff), i am going to keep it for a few years, then sell it and try to find a 540i/6 and keep that for making it 'mine.'
I payed $4400 including all the taxes and what not.
it really is only a scratch, Patricio is a liar
yeah, thats what i plan on doing...but in all seriousness it hits those low notes perfectly, and my full range speakers are crisp as anything. no regrets.
It is the most difficult thing when every wire is about 3-5 inches different legnth, not enough to wrap up extra, and too much to 'make work'.
in person it must not be too bad because everyone i ask says it looks 'professional' whatever that means..before i do that, there are a few places the RCA cables are running too close to wires with alot of power through them making a faint whine that goes away when i wiggle it in a few places. fine tuning then making it pretty..
