I cant really help ya to much with your questions

but on another note

I tried to throw some CVR's in my girls 325 and all I know is that there was no bass in the cabin, so you should look into porting the cabin some how to get more bass into it.

good luck with your question but you also might wanna check out some BMW specific forums

I've never heard heard of it skipping from personal experience. Well, not in my buddys 325 at least. There was roughly 1200-1500 rms on 2 Boston 10"s w/ the mids n highs also n I'm not aware of any problems... goinpro is right though... its hard to get bass into those cabins w/ a normal sub/box setup

its hard because there is a metal "firewall" between the trunk and cabin...its there to keep the noise out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

what are you looking to do, what is your budget.

I personally would go this route:

The vehicle hub pro - you will retain as much of the stock system as you want, and upgrade the parts you don't want.

check out http://www.e46fanatics.com

Under their electronic forum there is a complete how-to on installing LOC's, punching out the ski-pass, and properly installing components in the doors(vice door trim panel).

And yes, the firewall behind the rear seats is a PITA. I recommend doing a ported setup because of it.
