Hi,

Was wondering if it would be possible to fit a aftermarket head unit in to a R56 mini cooper, would you be able to make a wiring loom up to allow me to do this and add amps etc.
i was thinking of modifing a pannel on the front of the dash where the current one is to allow me to fit in the space.

What would the disadvantages and advantages of this be?

What is the output of the standard head unit for the speakers if i was to add a amp etc for the rear speakers?

Let me know asap.

Cheers

Rob

Swapping out the stereo isnt just about the physical fitting - when I tried to do it, all the speedo display was lost
I believe a company in Japan can do it but they will only fit & not supply the parts, so a long drive.
You could try fitting your stereo in the storage comp but you will; need long arms to operate it
The simplest solution is to keep the factory stereo & amp/speaker it for a great sound. We do a full package or you could just buy the adaptors from us if you have your own stuff. Be warned though its not an easy car to do
Or if you really like aftermarket stereos - buy an R53

ok sounds like keeping the orginal is the best idea. I think i sent you a email last nite. did you get it? Can you supply a simple fitting instructions for your kits. e.g to fit a link loom and to fit new rear speakers. I wont to add new 6x9s in the rear and a sub in the boot and 1 or 2 amps in the boot to run the sub and rear speakers. is this possible? Which loom would i need?
Let me know please and you wil have a new customer.
Cheers Rob

Another quick question.
Is the sound system loud if i replace speakers and add amps even tho still using the orginal head unit. What is the speaker output from the head unit?

Hi I was wondering if you could help me. I have a R56 mini cooper and i want to upgrade the stereo system so that i can have a better quality, louder bass and sound and sumet to stand out. I currently have the following stereo things i could use:

JBL GT4-10 10" 1000W Sub.
Sony X-plod XM-SD22X 1200W Amp.
Pioneer 240w 4ohm 6"x9" speakers.
Could i use any of these? Which link stereo loom would i need to connect a amp on the rear speakers of my car with new 6x9s and to add a sub in the boot. What wattage are the standard rear speakers?

Can you help me with some information?

Hear from you soon please.

Help PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As per my email
Looking at the amp - it will do a sub or the 6*9's not both
You can use the 6*9's, you can use the sub, you can use the amp to power the sub
You will need an aditional amp to drive the speakers
This loom (top one in list) will enable you to add your amp - NewMINIStuff.com

We do have an upgrade package specifically for the R56 Mini - available to buy or fitted. NewMINIStuff.com
This gives a very good loud clean sound with good bass, you could if required add your sub & amp to this package but you will loose your boot.

If your amp has high level inputs then get the basic loom

[Minione7]

Is there a advantage to use the high level inputs over the rca inputs? i wont to add two amps i think so should i still use the basic loom? can you supply the wiring for the high level inputs?

i wanna buy these asap?

cheers rob.

p.s can you supply wiring for the power and earths etc? I am thinking of putting my amps in the boot?
