If I install a dual 10" setup in the trunk, it will be shallow depth subs facing up. I have limited space due to having rear strut bar. Can I still fully utilize the trunk as cone area with this setup?

So I am figuring out what sub enclosure I will be putting in my car. Option 1) Installing 600w RMS 10" subs using typical dual sub enclosure in the trunk. I don't have ski pass-thru opening and I don't plan to drill a giant hole on my car to let bass into cabin. Option 2) Using a customized...

Thanks again for inputs from all of you. I am a little confused because what you are telling me is very different from what people on M5Board and Bimmerforum say. Is DSP a general term that stands for a type of sound system or is it a BMW specific term? I always thought DSP was the name of BMW...

Wait, are you saying there is a DSP amp that perfectly works with the factory speakers AND works with aftermarket HUs?

What would be your suggestion for front speaker setup? I want to stick with 5 1/4 factory speaker size for plug-n-play without any modification on the car. Please correct me if I'm wrong but considering the size, I didn't imagine that much difference from higher power - let's say 100watt so I...

Thanks for the quick replies! Is there benefit of doing that?
