wow square speakers, wonder if they sound normal?
well I wanted to install the PC on my E31, I just want to avoid the previous mistakes I did in my E34, so I wonder if there is a good path to pass the wires to the front in the E31? I suppose there would be some hidden places easy to pass the wires in.
I will use the OEM amplifier as a crossover like many guys did, this will save me hell of connections and speaker mess. also the OEM speakers are just fine for the front/rear system of the 5.1.
the only thing is to install the subwoofers and the center speaker.
Luckily I was able to install the center speakers in the center vents in a nice design
see the pics below:
I tested the sound with a bandpass cross over and they sound excellent. as the duct makes a good baffle for those speakers.
I just need to pass 3 wires now: the VGA cable to the touch screen, USB cable to the touch screen function also with the Hub for any USB usage and the center speaker wire.
this is all the help I need for now.
here are some other pics of the system that I'll install.

they sound like a subwoofer with a bass crossover. google Kicker 12" L7 you will get all the info. but I got screwed up today !! I took a design of the kicker vented enclosure and I payed a carpenter to make 2 boxes, finally they were awesome but they don't get into the trunk !! this is one of the curses of the E31 !!
looks like that little lot will give you a nice sound, nice 850 by the way, they look so nice in black
thanks mate, well after some old experiments with my prev. cars I wanted this 850 to have a neat sound system, I cant seem to be very lucky yet as I can't seem to find a solution for the square subs.
Well I can't say much more than it took me one day to fix this mess ...

it's a Chinese brand, it doesn't have a trade mark, as I bought it as a sample. the thing I only care about is that it's a Panasonic Chip set inside and it supports resolution up to 1024X723 but in the car you cannot run it over 800X600. this is the same item on ebay but I bought mine for 175$ from the main factory.
