[QUOTE="creed, post: 623777, member: 13814"] Day 2 (2nd August 2012) Since I wanted an almost stealth install; been discussing to get the amp rack done in a well thought out areas which wouldn't be obstructive for the boot; so hanging the rack on top might be a viable idea; and by referring to some other install done at oversea 5 series forum I decided to go ahead. - Preparing the amp rack by soldering the iron bar [ATTACH=CONFIG]25876[/ATTACH] - Bracing on the body and test fitting [ATTACH=CONFIG]25877[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25878[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25879[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25880[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25881[/ATTACH] - Since the idea must support ease of access for future adjustment; a hinge would be installed so the hanging-rack can be dropped down for servicing and provide adjustment of the audio equipment with ease [ATTACH=CONFIG]25882[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25883[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25884[/ATTACH] - Amp rack done and fitting of equipment commences :-), all fits nicely and matched to the drilled hole precisely [ATTACH=CONFIG]25885[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25886[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25887[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25888[/ATTACH] - After power connected and rack all done; practically called it a day for works and tuning started; I thoroughly enjoy the processes throughout and I enjoy sweat myself and joining in for the installation, exchanging ideas and learning from the sifus :-) [ATTACH=CONFIG]25889[/ATTACH] Apart from the last picture shown on the boot with a subwoofer; all my interior stays as original as it gets; no one actually noticed its been tampered with; guys handled my car like their own and I sincerely very happy with the installation; the tuning might takes quite some times as I've been experiencing with difference setting and setup. The brief calibration already brings tonnes and tonnes of improvement compare to the stock; am not aiming for the star but at least I felt all things are well installed and I particularly like it stays the stock look. Wife noticed the differences immediately she stepped in the car and commented it sounded a lot nicer...that's some compliment from my home minister. [/QUOTE]
