so over the past months or so i been collecting everything i would need for my system...for my components up front, i got a/d/s/ 345cs that's gonna be powered by a pg x200.4.

what do you think i should do with the rear deck? was thinknig of leaving them stock but stock bmw audio is seriously SH1t...my car only fits 5.25's all around which sucks but yea. anyone know of any decent midbass drivers/subs in this size?

don't want to leave the rears out cuz i always have a lot of passengers and it wouldn't let any bass into the cabin anyways since the trunk is completely sealed off. was thinking midbass/subs because i will only be using a 12" AQ SD2.5 powerd by a pg 600.1 and would like something to supplement it (already gonna cut thru the metal sheet that seperates trunk/cabin to make a port so the bass can get in where the armest is).

anyone have experience with some 5.25" tang bands?

posted this already in the speaker forum but realized this was probably going to be more of a subwoofer thing

Does your model have the ski hole or rear fold down seats?

Honestly for rear imaging anything's fine...I've left my stocks rears in the last 2 I've had....

As for the bass..yep the solid metal between the trunk and passenger cabin is going to kill you (unless you are lucky and can remove the ski hole)...

Since you are in Cali...try checking out Toxic Tuan...I'm sure they've done many bimmers -- unless you want to do it yourself--

If so, my buddy used to have the exact same car as you...he had decent results with 1 12" in a sealed pre-fab Q-logic (but it all depends on how much SQ/SPL you're looking for)...
