E28 stereo
E28 stereo
I'm just starting to lay plans for a stereo in my E28 I have 3-4 2 channel amps ranging in power from 25W to 90w per channel I'm a bit of an audiophile so big booming bass systems are definately out. I just want the best sound I can get without cutting metal.
if you have a nice system in your e28 let's see them I need ideas.

Depending on how much fab work you are willing to do, your options are fairly limited.
I was able to make custom kick panels and stuff some 5.25 MB Quart separates up front, and some custom (by me) Audax 4" separates in the premium rear enclosures with reducer rings for the mid.
I power all this with 3 old school Soundstream amps, 2 Rubicon 300's (75*2) and a Rubicon 500 (bridged to 500*1) my sub is a Elemental Designs SQ10 in a tiny sealed box. I run an OLD Alpine 3339 EQ/Crossover that does the job and sounds great.
The weakest link is my head unit, an couple year old Sony gt-200 that has a great cd transport and a 1/8" aux input on the front that I use for my mp3 player.
Pics.....dammit
For most people though they are not going to fit more than a 4*6 up front with a tweeter in the sail panel. You can of course do much better in the back, but who cares thats just fill.
I have had numerous PM's to show those damn kick panels, I will post them up asap.

Check the eighth post down in this thread: http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?t=27 ... t=mcintosh
OK dammit, here are some pics.
The kicks were made with 1/4" MDF and backed with either 3/8 or 5/8 plywood for spacing to get a good contact around the speaker hole area.
The amp rack is plywood, I used a 2x4 that I attached to the trunk carpet via aluminum bar stock and screws, then screwed the board to it at the bottom, and into the rear bulkhead at the top. the crappy sub box is a temp solution till I build a low profile under the rear parcel shelf box for 2 of the ED SQ10's.
Happy now?

Re: E28 stereo
Well in that case, forget about the car entirely since no car, no matter how much money you spend is ever going to be able to get close to a pair of headphones.philip1 wrote:I'm just starting to lay plans for a stereo in my E28 I have 3-4 2 channel amps ranging in power from 25W to 90w per channel I'm a bit of an audiophile
This is what you want
here are my doors
They stop production on these speakers over 13 years ago, so if you find a set, get them!
Or else you can use a factory bose front door speakers out of Cadillac STS cars
Here are the subwoofers I am going to put under my rear seat also. They are 6.5 inch bose woofers. Originally came out of Chevy suburbans (one per truck) they are identical to the ones found in the high end home theater systems.
