I already posted this install on DIYMA but I just signed on here and thought I'd post. Planning on posting my M5 build soon.
I spend more time in this car than any other so I decided I wanted the best sound possible in a practical install. I've had everything from luggage for the whole family to deer that I've killed in the back of this thing. I just moved down to North Carolina from Pennsylvania and I couldn't justify taking my car back to PA for another install so I went on the hunt for an SQ shop in NC that was able to do what I had in mind. I looked at a lot of shops and Ben's Audi post finally led me to Acoustic Images in Mooresville, NC. After talking 5 miuntes with Bryan and Mark I knew the search was over and plans began.
I wanted a 3-way front stage because 4" speakers mounted in the factory locations were not going to fulfill my midbass needs and with a little modifying we could fit a 3" in the factory location. After listening to focal, Dyn, hertz, and audison thesis I had to drop the $ for the thesis set. After hearing them I knew I'd regret putting anything else in the car. The thesis tweeter is quite large so we needed a new tweeter location and of course door pods for the 6.5" After seeing the doors that Mark built on Ben's Audi I knew my doors would be no sweat for him.
First, the tweeter pods:
