lol- only 2 doors- well spotted.

Not come across this make-assume they are good?

[Satan]

You've never heard of Iceman?

When I asked him what speakers should I get he said Ground Zero so I got them.

[Satan]

[aimlessrock]

ah...i see why he is called iceman!

don't suppose you can remember the once you purchased buy chance- i.e model number/name etc?

[Satan]

Can't remember and as I got them a good few years back they have been superseded, I replaced the fronts with a set of speakers, crossovers and tweeters and also did the rears.

Got them from here,

a hat tip to you sir.

Remember though that in a cab the bass won't be great, I also used a switch in the console to power the antenna as if you aren't listening to radio the aerial doesn't need to be up and it stops the whistling noise when the roof is down.

+1 for the antenna switch -

...not seen this button before- but now want one.

is this oem?

[paultv]

Nope! Its an old "Hazard" switch with the emblem removed and "Logo" my lad Storm designed for me, printed onto vinyl - hard wearing - been in the car for a couple of years - in - line with the aerial feed - push to raise!

I have a sheet of stickers somewhere in different colors -

The aerial on my old cab automatically went up and down when you switched between the radio and CD, same with my 318iS. No idea how they were wired though.

Was it a BMW head unit? Mines an aftermarket one so maybe not that clever ;o))))

I think they both had Song head units when I bought them, then the iS got a full ICE install using Pioneer kit, but nothing was done to the cars wiring to fit that.

I have same issue, can you recommend a size that allows the cover to remain flat? Cheers

Take one old speaker out and measure the depth, its fiddly but you can get the speaker out just through the gap when you remove the cover.

Its for a Vert.

[paultv]

The problem with the vert is the tiny space for the magnet behind the speaker mount - the blasted cavity is so small.

You talking front or rear, would need to double check.

[Satan]

Older version of these went in the rear,

[paultv]

Yes the back ones, I'm sure mine are 10cm and that's all the space there is unless you start chopping your vert to bits!
