[QUOTE="Heinemans, post: 8248078, member: 660388"] Still no thoughts on my post? Hard to believe none of you 155 viewers/readers hasn't any thoughts on this... [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Again, if Im asking the wrong questions, then please, explain to me what I'm doing wrong and I will correct it. I'm trying my best to make these posts the best I can. I'm still doing a lot of reading on car audio, and here is what I've found: I read that power supply could be, or is, a big thing when installing an upgraded audio setup; the big three for example. I've found the following in my car, which I think should be enough for the setup I'm going for. The E34 is equiped with a 140 ampere dynamo, which is connected to a battery under the rear seats (close to the amps) with a 00 gauge wire, which is grounded to the chassis with a 00 gauch wire. The loop closes with the connection from the chassis to the engine block with a 00 gauge wire. For isolation the following is applied by factory. All doors contain a bitumen isolation sheed on the inside (about 40x40cm). Roofpanels, botom (inside) and firewall/backwall are also covered with sheets of bitumen isolation. Speaker cavities, roofpanels and floor (about 2 inches of carpet/foam) are coverd with a thick foam which is supplemented by fabirc/wool like stuff. As far as noise isolation/vibration dampening and power supply goes I think the E34 is equiped enough. Of course all panels which may rattle a little when having such an audio setup will be covered/joined with foam/bitumen. This will be done after installing all components to see if it's even necessary. When looking at the bottom kicker-panels I think the grilles/holes in them are a little smal. Is it better to make those bigger, especially with 6.5" speakers behind them? They were originally made for 5.25" and allready look a little small. [/QUOTE]
