Picked up my car from BMW back in February 2013. Here's the build to date...

First modification was a better battery for the audio system.

Next onto the audio side of things...
The source is my iPhone running to an Apple Airport express.
The Airport Express will feed to an Audison Bit Ten D with an optical cable.
The processor is then conencted to a JL Audio HD900/5 amplifier which runs the Hertz HSK165 2 way component speakers (actively) and either a pair of JL Audio 8w3v3's or a 10W7.
Wood and jig.

and all closed up (obviously the gaps seen are not visible once installed back. ( I also sealed the tweeter in with flashing tape to reduce any air flow around the driver)
All done by
