Audio Upgrade - Pics
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 10:47 pm
Hi All
I wanted to share some tips and photos from my Audio Upgrade - I had the 6 speakers system which was dreadful.
Please be aware that I am no pro and my system isn't perfect but all I know is that it SOUNDS AMAZING, CRISPY, POWERFUL & PUNCHY..
I "might" change few things in the future but at the moment I am more than happy with it. Unfortunately I forgot to take pics when I first started so few steps will me missing but more than happy to give clarification.
I didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a sound system in a 35i as most of the time I would be listening to my straight 6 with its 2 babies..
1 - Speakers: http://www.audison.eu/index.php?page=product&id=67
2 - DSP Amplifer: http://www.blaupunkt.com/id/nc/products ... ngle/9047/
3 - RCA HI/LOW Converter: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Trader-S ... B00DBYG9Q6
4 - Amplifier wiring Kit
5 - 1.5mm Speakers Cable.
6 - Dynamat - Sound Proofing.
6 - Scotch Connectors: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/39122447 ... 804&crdt=0
A) First of all I have removed the HU and connected the RCA HI/LOW converter inline at the back of the HU, connected it to the power cables so I can have a remote that will switch the amplifier ON/OFF . I connected the speakers output to the input cables of the RCA converter from the back of the HU (Same cables feed the footwell subs and the door MIDs so they need to stay connected unless you want to feed the MIDsfrom the amp). To remove the HU you need to remove/unclip the panel underneath it with some trim removal tool, there are 2 screws as showed on the pic below, then HU will come out easily.
B) Next step was installing the footwell Subs- This step required some mods as I didn't use speakers adaptors. I have WRECKED the OEM speakers and cut the plastic surrounding out so i can use it to fit the new speakers, then it is just a question of bolting them into place - fitted perfectly for me. DYNAMATTED the footwell enclosures.
