New stereo setup...if anyone cares (alpine,jl,7" lcd)

[stealthbimmer]

Well i finnaly got my new system up and running, not completly finished, but up and running.Got a new alpine cda-9851 HU, the famous farenheit 7" lcd, JL 12w3v2 sub, and ofcourse the xbox..... Pics are of right now, i still need to button up a few things:a,locaton of xbox,final fitment of lcd,power inverter location,etc.

HU and lcd

Night

Sub....yes i know it is upside down

Test location for xbox, thinking bout putting it on the rear deck, then i can run the wires thro where the rear speakers used to be.Also, this way there will be no interferance w/ dvd remote or wireless controllers(hopefully)

The screen looks really good!

nice setup, u ever thought about pointing ur sub through the ski-hole.... makes a shit load of difference in cabin bass

[dieselnuts]

bass hits harder when the sub faces the trunk. if you open the ski hole then you will notice a big differance.

hmmm really likin the farenhiet monitor

hey I really like the LCD screen. What model number is it and what did it cost you? Did you put the OBC in the arm rest? The first person to have put the LCD in the lower center unit, he also had the OBC relocated under the arm rest. I play on doing this install in my next car. I got a Pioneer 7.5in Monitor to go in the top, mainly for navi, but I want something else to see to. Or I'd like the option to display the navi on the bottom screen and the top screen use for music function without dropping my directions to far from sight. It can be done. I've played with it before, just not in a car.

nice set up, i just got my first bmw and have been going through hell trying to figure out how to run all the wires, how did you do it>

e36 pinout

my speaker wires are no good i have to run new ones what would be the best way to go about that?

[Crispy222]

I'm not positive, but there is probably a factory amplifier in the trunk. You'll have to do some more searching online to confirm this. If that is true, you can't just run new speakers lines to the doors. The factory amplifier runs separate lines to all the speakers from what I remember.

You might find this helpfull.
