New sound system getting installed...
 

Hey, guys I just brought my X in today to get my speaker upgrade plus sub install at my local guy...I originally thought of mounting the 2 amps on back of the seats, but we found a new spot to mount them...1 in each compartment in the trunk, so everything is completely hidden...the amps fit perfectly in each compartment, i was amazed, and there is plenty of ventilation for each amp in each area....comments welcome, and pictures will be posted ASAP when i hopefully pick up the car tomorrow night as scheduled....:)

what are u doing with your old speakers? and which oem system do you have?

I had the non-NAV/non-DSP system in my X...so far I am keeping them...idk didnt really think about selling them, if thats what youre getting at...if your interested...let me know with a PM and youre offer
thanks

That's what I had done. A 250JL was installed in the driver's side compartment for the subwoofer, and a 350JL was installed in the passenger's side compartment for the remaining speakers. (I don't have NAV, Bluetooth, etc.) I like that setup. Totally stealth. Works great.

Good luck with your new and improved sound system. :thumbup:

Can you please post pics of the amps mounted in each compartment.

Thanks ...

So where did you put you sub?

just got my car back from the audio shop...i had to take a couple of advils when i got home(20 min ago LOL) from all the basssssss....this JL sub is ridiculous...its a 12w7 v2 and it hits harddddd....my back window is shaking, i hope it doesnt shatter, and im serious about that too. we the whole setup looks very clean, i had my interior speakers redone as well and they sound excellent as well. i had the two amps mounted in each compartment and it looks very cleannnn...the only thing thats visible in my trunk is my prowedge series JL audio box....but yea i will post pics tomorow afternoon, but i need some help on how to post them, i dont know how....thanksss

Nice! I had two Alpine amps installed in the driver's side compartment...nice and clean as well. For hard hitting bass I have a dual 10" sub enclosure in the trunk.

Looking forward to pics of your setup.

Congratulation! I have DSP with NAV so I only upgraded the bass. I have the W6 12' V2 powered by the JL 500/1 and it already hits hard eventhough I barely crank up the gain. I can't imagine
how yours W7 will hit :). Can't go wrong with JL's bass. Would love to see your set up.

What's the total cost of upgrading the speakers and sub?
