MiketheMini, I am looking to do some stereo upgrdae and since I live way over here I thought I would pick your brain alittle. Just a few questions. I have seen alot of your posts and not seen these questions/answers.
1. Your pics you just posted, are those 16.5cm/6.5" in the bottom of the door?
2. The amp that's in the boot, is this the only amp? If not, where is the other one?
3. If there are two, which amp controls what?
4. Do all the speakers have crossovers in them? Could we eliminate the crossovers if we wanted to.
5. Are you splicing the wires to connect to the new speakers you are installing or have you noticed if the connectors going to the speakers happens to be something Mini/BMW has been using for a few years now?

Hope you have a few minutes to get back to me, would appreciate it.

Currently in the workshop getting my upgrade

Do you REALLY need to take so many bits out? I know you know what you are doing but it brings me out in a cold sweat seeing a MINI like that

Are there any wires/fibres in place on the right side for fitting the DAB module?

I feel sick. That's going to be my car tomorrow. That is, if I decide to turn up!

I'm hyperventilating at this very moment looking at those pics. What fool would get that done to their car. Oh and led door handles. Much better off getting the Hi-Fi upgrade.

now mike don't be

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO MIKEY THE MINI - as he will spend all day texting you pictures of the carnage he enjoys creating with your beloved car

BUT it was worth the torture, every little bit of it

Can't get this big grin off my face. Speechless, oh and a bit hard of hearing too after a 2.5 hour drive home with my new audio system!

Stacks of bass, stacks of power, loads of depth, you name it it's there.

Can you tell I'm pleased?!!

Credit where it's due, Mikey you're a legend, and such a nice guy with it

Thank you so much

[mikeythemini]

Glad you like it Just don't sue me if you go deaf - those tweeters are amazing.
Still keep chuckling when I think of your text "just thrown myself in the Mersey"
Now where did I put those pics

[mikeythemini]

Some pics of the 2 cars completed today
The amp is fitted under the passenger seat, it is only just seen with the seat fully forward
Rear speakers - my favourite Kenwood 6*9 3 ways
Fronts - the awesome Clarion 16.5cm mid, tweeter & modified crossover package, the tweeter is angled up

The cars

I feel sick all over again.
