My X5 Audio Install

beemarman · #1 07-09-2006, 03:41 PM

I am a big fan of custom audio in cars and just love upgrading my stock audio whenever i get a new car.

This is my second big install, the first one was in my old BMW 330ci.

My Audio equipment in my previous car consisted of JL amps and Rainbow speakers with Pioneer headunit.

For my next install i wanted to be a bit different (everybody uses JL

) so decided to try out an italian brand called Sinfoni http://www.sinfoni.com.

Some of you might not have heard of the Sinfoni brand, but believe me when i say the quality of there amps is just lush and the sound it produces is just wow!.

It's not cheap, but remenber it's handmade in italy and it so rare that nobody else is going to be using it.

The Rainbow Platinum are the second top of the range and cost about £2000 new http://www.rainbow-car-audio.de/.

My Equipment List

I am using Sinfoni 60.1 mono block (1 amp per speaker) for my Rainbows Plats midrange .

Sinfoni 90.2 2x90 for my Rainbows Plats tweeter

Sinfoni 150.2 800x1 for my IDMAX sub.

Very clean install. The red goes good in there.
Did you change your head unit and do you have the DSP system?

Nice work and nice Image Dynamics sub. When I used to compete (IASCA 151-300) I used two of their 10" subs. I was very happy with the performance.

Sinfoni has a great reputation for sound quality.

Looks like an IDMAX 12".

I'm not feeling the pool-table look, but I'm glad you like it. Where did the front speakers get located? How does the imaging do?

Shove your power and ground wires all the way into the terminal blocks : )

Looks great and the best of luck with the new system...one question is there a fan cooling down the amps in the enclosure?

Sweet Amps ;-)

Just kurious since you've been running with the Amps in the car for some time now. How hot are those buggers ....but is there any drain on the system with the engine on ?

I recall Sinfonis running really HOT and taking alot of current
