[QUOTE="sjv13, post: 8097157, member: 632245"] 1) What are your guys' thoughts on putting a nice stereo in a sports car? In this case, an e46 BMW M3. It's a "driver's car" and it's decently noise b/c of engine and exhaust, but it would still be nice to be able to jam out hardcore in it. 2) What's the cost of having a car audio shop (a good one) that does custom work put in door panels or speaker pods that will allow me to run whatever speakers I choose and sound good doing so? Maybe put in 6.5" or 8" subs in the doors? 3) Is it okay to run those subs in the doors with a 12" on around 1000-1500rms in the trunk? I know you're not supposed to mix sub sizes, but I feel this is different. 4) On Crutchfield, when I put in this car (e46 M3) it says installation of any aftermarket HU will require fabrication of mounts, etc.... what does this really mean, and can I just buy something that's already made or do I really have to fabricate or have someone else fabricate something? I dont own this car yet, but I plan to some day and I was just curious how this is all going to pan out. [/QUOTE]
