[QUOTE="publicbus, post: 185915, member: 4310"] vanquish - thanks for the info on the alternator capacity. At least now I dont have to worry about it. astrocreep - I have heard of the less 'tight' bass produced by the air free subs from other threads too. I think if I were to go for a sub, I will go for the conventional box-enclosure unit. A forumer has given me a few names available in Penang and I would check out next week. Will do some investigation with Golden first. BTW, went to a shop nearby for some market survey. The boss there was confident of installing 6.5" for both the front and rear speakers. He recommded 6.5" Hertz component speakers (with individual cross-over) for the rear and MB-Quart for the front. Price plus some new cables - about RM 3K. I have taken out the door panel and just wonder how he is going to feed those 6.5" into them. Have asked around my 3er friends and their feedback is that changing to better 5.5" would not improve much on the sound quality. Either change to 6.5" or dont change at all. My plan: 1. Will look for an installer with experience on a e39 upgrade. 2. Will try out MB-quart 5.5" component speakers for both rear and front. 3. If the new 5.5" set up is not much difference from current setup, will go for the 6.5" speakers. Will forgo a sub if the 6.5" can produce satisfatory bass. 4. If the new 5.5" speakers have good clarity, then would add an amp for a 12" sub. Just hope there is a willing experience installer who can accomodate my requirement. Will update on this later this week. [/QUOTE]
