E46 Harmon Kardon into E30

Post Sun Apr 19, 2009 8:10 pm

Would this work?
I only have what I think is a amp, rear 6x9's and tweeters.
What im missing is relevent cables but could make these up.
Also missing rear door card speakers and front footwell speakers.
got some good after market front footwell speakers.
will the missing bits make a difference?
not worried about rear door card speakers.
Hope this helps.
Cheers Sean.

as you have a cab (assume from your avatar pic) then no there is no place for 6x9's and secondly i would imagine the HK amp is bespoke to the head unit, and would not work with just any old head unit, you could of course fit the tweeters, best place is on the inner plastic cover that holds the wing mirrors on, if you are lucky you will find BMW have already placed speaker wires there!!

and if i am correct about your car then the tech 1 front spoiler you want will also not fit as you have the later lower valance, you need to change the lower valance or fit a tech 2 (i did a wiki guide on how to do this in the wiki section for your info!!)

Personally, I'd skip this upgrade! The HK system is fa irly crap. I have it in my M3, and without any exaggeration, the sound from my 83 323i (complete with stock paper speakers) is better - granted its coming from a high end Pioneer unit.

The sub in the HK system is 2 6x9's, and isn't particular punchy either.
