Re: Stereo System (archive)

The stock speaker locations are 4/6m. 2 in the rear package tray, and 2 in the kick panels. The back will accomodate most and you can use a set of nice plates. the front locations are tight, if you use plates you usually cannot get the grills on them. the glove box will probably rub.

Not sure what your budget is, or if you want to modify, but the front doors have plenty of room for component speakers. I run Boston Proseries 4.5 in the factory locations, and 4.2 in the doors right now, I'm about to switch to a Boston Proseries 6.5/3 in the doors.

If you just want bolt in, any set of nice 4/6 m will go in and sound much inproved. you will probably have to get the grills from bmw or reuse the old ones.

I run a changer, so can't help there. Subwoofers are a whole nother ordeal, so if you are getting tha tserious let me know and we can go down that road too.

I am hoping that some audiophile out there can help me solve my dilemma. I have a 1981 320i and I am in desperate need of a new sound system for the car. I want to replace all the factory sound equipment and replace it with a really nice system. My question is what size speakers can I put in the vehicle and what kind of CD receiver can I put at a 90 degree angle relative to the pavement and still get jog-free CD sound out of?

I appreciate the info.
