Right me and Dad are prob gonna be trying to install my sound system over the weekend.

Can I get some estimations on how long it will take to install everything,

I have the following to install;

Head Unit
Components + Tweeters (need to fit door builds aswell)
Amplifier
12" Sub already boxed.



We have a moderate knowledge of how to set it up, but havent really dealt with amps before.

How long do you think?

Shouldn't take more than 3 hours max.

Strip as much of the interior out of the way as it'll make things alot easier.

Seats and the side door strips take minutes to remove and re-install, and will make things alot easier.

Also drop the glovebox and remove the panels behind it to make it easier to channel the RCA wires from behind the head-unit.

Not a hard job, once you've done it for the 1st time, it'll be easy thereafter.

The E30 is a really easy car to do an install on aswell as everything comes off easily, and most importantly goes back on without big gaps/breaking or creating annoying rattles.
