The rear quarter units are sealed I used an air saw to open them up
Focals in place
Front of the unit
rear quarter cross over unit in place
rear doorcards off
dyno mat
Front door card with orignal cross over unit
unlike the x5 the x6 needed some trimming to get the 5.25 in place

Re: X6 ICE all in
That looks absolutely bang on!
I cant even imagine the depth and clarity of the sound that must be produced!

Re: X6 ICE all in
Awesome.....Are the amps going to get enough cooling in the 'hole'?
I noticed that on long runs that part under the floor can get quite warm because the exhausts run underneath. You might want some kind of grille or PC type fans bolted on if it get's too warm - or keep the volume turned down.. :punk: :punk: :rock:

lol i dont mind i need something fun and this ticks all boxes which are:-
Too low so speed bumps are a nightmare!!
Funny coloured wheels
smoothed side door so you need to open it on the inside
cheap and cheerful to run and with a map your have about 140 bhp and 300 torque
no one else at BP has the same in the car park and it looks nice parked next to the BMWs, Mercs, Jags etc lol!
impractical yes.....but the grin factor is huge lol!

Probably on a split charging system too?!
Re: X6 ICE all in
As always Mr K looks spot on. Sure it sounds pure. Look forward to seeing/hearing this.
Loving the stance aswell.
Also apart from the colour you've gone with, I like the Caddy too.
You better head up to the Cosford meet on the 27th sala. Bring Gie too.
