Polo6979's 2003 BMW 325Ci Sport

polo6979 · 09-14-2006, 07:10 AM

This is my very first project and so far I am satisfied with the outcome. It sounds great and looks very clean. I have spent a little bit more money that I had origally planned but it was all worth it. There are a few kinks and bugs I need to work out and I need to rebuild my OS.

**Will update with more details later tonight**

1. 7” Lilliput Transflective touch-screen LCD monitor. (MP3Car Store)
2. VIA EPIA CP13000 Mini-ITX Motherboard
3. 512 DDR RAM PC2700
4. 100 gig hard drive
5. Travla C158 Mini-ITX Case.
6. M2-ATX 160W DC-DC Power supply.
7. Slotload DVD-RW
8. AC relocation kit.
9. Bluetooth USB Dongle.
10. BU-353 GPS receiver (MP3Car Store)
11. Netgear Wireless 802.11g USB. (Not very powerful need something different)
12. 4 ports USB 2.0 hub (under passanger seat)
13. Silverstone EB01-B Premiun USB DAC Product Info

Here are some pictures of the almost finished product.
The bezel of course was made by srcstc. The pictures here do NOT do his bezel justice.
In the pics it looks kind of grey. It is black and he did a great job on it and I highly recomend him!

The sub is great. It is not too much bass and its not to little.
It is a Boston 12" G5 Product Info

The 2 Amps are:
Alpine PDX-4.150 pushing the highs and midrange - Product Info
Alpine PDX-1.1000 on the 12" sub - Product Info

My wireless keyboard and mouse that slips right in the glove box. Perfect fit.

Everything from the back (still working on cleaning it up)

The tray for the carputer

Added a USB DAC over the weekend and it seems to have taken some of the mobo noise out and a little bit of road noise.

I added the Silverstone EB01-B Premiun USB DAC.

Sweet install, love the carputer tray

Thanks.... I need to clean the wiring up a little bit. But I am going to wait until I have everything installed like I want. I still need to add XM, Rearview cam, FM and a few other gagets.

Hello,

Dont you got any problems with some noise in the speakers when you accelerate??
I've done the same with my BMW 323 Coupe but the noise is killing me..

Could you please write down the wiring way of you system..

Best regards Kfalken in Denmark

nguyenpd · 10-07-2006, 07:43 AM

I had the same problem when I was doing testing and before I cleaned up my wiring. It was because I had a signal cable (an audio cable like a speaker wire or the RCA signal inputs) going too close to the power cable for the amp.
