Installed sound system!

Hi - congrats! Maybe you could post a few pics and give us an idea of how much this all cost? Thanks!

Sounds like a nice install. That sub on the foot well is interesting. I have the Infinity Basslink SM behind the passenger seat and feel it sacrifices the recline mode. Can I see some pics of the install, may have to move my Infinity?

Thank you! I'll work on the pics.

The Alpines on the dash were in the car. I replaced the Kenwood KDC 448V with the Eclipse that, in 2005, I had installed in my 86 325. The Eclipse has about 20 hours on it and is virtually NOS. I believe that ran me $300 back in 05... 06? I had an installer do everything at that time.

The Crossfires, 100W) on the rear deck I pulled from the 86, and placed into SMALL speaker boxes I picked up on eBay. So... $40 there. The speakers at the time I believe ran me $125 for the pair.

The Alpine 6 CD changer ran me around $325+ back, um, way back. Maybe 20 hours on that so, again, NOS. That I pulled from the 89 535i.

The Rockford Fosgate came with the car. $400.

The Kenwood subwoofer I paid $145.

The install was $460.

So... after I tally up everything using actual prices paid for everything (which you could purchase, used, for less now)...

$1,820.

Because I had most everything... my out of pocket was, including install, $650.

Sourced on eBay... probably less than $1K. Not including the install.

Have a great day.
