    Ok now that the car is back and I'm starting to look into upgrading the audio in the car. Here's the plan so far:

    Requirements:
    • Lightweight of a setup without sacrificing too much audio quality
    • Stealth - I know my head unit replacement choice is NOT and definitely doesn't look OEM, but I'd like the speakers to look OEM; thus Bavsound speakers
    • Add cleaner bass
    • Better audio quality than the current setup

    Specs:
    • Head Unit: Alpine iLX-705E46
    • Front Door Speakers: Bavsound Stage 1 3-way speakers (25mm Tweeters, 65mm (2.5") Mid, 6.25" MidBass)
    • Rear Door Speakers: Bavsound Stage 1 (65mm (2.5") Mid)
    • Rear Trunk / Hatch: CDT ES-690CFS (6x9)
    • Amp/DSP: Helix V Twelve DSP MK2
    • Subwoofer: ????

    I'd rather not post pricing as Attila's (M3Projekts) pricing had changed due to global economic changes and other personal reasons. I hope you all understand.

    To get his current pricing, you can message him directly on IG or FB.

    For Shipping Cost - this will vary depending on how close you are to port. Fortunately for me the port is only 30 minutes away. Shipping pricing can be quoted by Ivo Christov:

    Pre wash was actually a few months before Attila (M3Projekts) received that car (Late Feb 2022 - Dissembly began Mar 1, 2022)

    Did this car make it back to the US yet? Would love to see more photos of it on US soil.

    speaking of interiors I was going to mention earlier that they make leather E46 sedan door pulls/armrests. if any car deserves this extra touch it’s yours imho. just an idea.
    Thanks!

    Damn I wish I knew that ahead of time I would have had MMM interior recover a set to match. I guess I can try and find some. thanks for the info!
