The Subwoofer Install

Here's the first attempt...too bad the sound was trapped in the trunk that was very well sealed from the cabin.

With the help of a friend, we developed a way to get the sound into the cabin.
So began attempt number 2:

The box (the easy part):

The rear deck air duct:

Adding the carpet:

The Rear Deck

I had to cut 2 extra holes into the rear deck so I the air could pass through it. By doing this and adding some sound dampening material, I was able to eliminate the nasty rattling that the subwoofer was causing.

OMG, talk about an install, yours is the best that I have seen so far. I have a 2001 325i, everything is stock, so I'm also looking at navigation, ipod integration, i have a lot of music. I love your install, it makes me think of doing the double DIN install.
