Hello folks,
Bit of advice please... Saw in Perfromance BMW April 2008 a nice tidy stereo install on a 5 series by AI Audio that put a sealed 10" sub box in the boot up against the ski hatch - love this idea and would like to replicate for my 325i sport as part of a subtle upgrade programme... Love stealthy systems!! :wink:

Anyway - question is - does anyone make a ready made box to do this already or should I be getting in touch with AI Audio??

Thanks to all!
Cheers,

Hope you dont mind me giving some advice, back in the day when I used to do loadsa ICE installs I used to find that the face of the sub facing out towards the boot gives a better sound inside. Bass works differently to mids and tweeters they dont need to be facing where you want the sound.
