Hi Gang!

I'm getting ready to put some tunes in the M2.
So far I'm thinking of an Alpine 9856 head unit a Rockford fosgate 450.4 amp and some 6 or 8 inch component speakers in the panels under the rear seats.
No sub, I don't want to add the weight and I don't need to rattle anything loose. I don't know what to do up front, any good kick panels out there? What about home brew stuff?

TIA,
Rich

After owning a couple RF amps, I wont own them again

elemental designs has gotten really popular, I own one now, really like it

I have the 9856 in my m3, I like it, it wont look period correct in a 2002, but what modern headunit does

Thanks for the heads up about RF.
I'm not to worried about "period correct" the carbon fiber hood and trunk kinda kills that look!

not to mention those bad assed wheels and that big fat exhaust

I have a 9856 in my E30 and it sounds great, even with the stock speakers.

I have an old 9826 in my 2002 with some tow rear infinity kappa 5.24s and it was perfect for the car (nice bass response too, was able to feel it in the seat).

And after thinking about it, this post didn't answer your question at all :\

Maybe try components up front too, installed in some custom enclosures added to the outside of the footwells. No door panel or dash mods required...
