Coulda just popped the access cover in the passenger rear and looked for the amp...

 

Whoo hoo! Congrats no HK ....

The changer would not be installed unless it was ordered with the car or the last owner had it installed. Your car is wired for it but it's not installed. Also in the right compartment in where the HK amp would be if you had it. Thank God you don't. :lol:

 

Makes life easy!

 

If it said "Preparation, BMW 6-CD changer I-bus" (what mine says), that only means there is a cable in the trunk to plug in a CD changer box (not all cars have the cable).

 

Yep you should be good to go.

 

Either way people don't play CD any longer do they? Where do you even go to buy one besides Walmart?

I do miss going to record stores and flipping through albums and 45's at a mall. Remember those places? Sam Goody

We still have one small local record store called The Mad Platter and they have lots of vinyl.

That's progress and thanks to Apple and iTunes they ruined the retail music business

 

Shortly after record stores closed, the MALL as we used to know it followed.

But I still like having 8000 songs in one place the size of a pack of gum.

 

Keyword tweeters, Dayton audio mid range, Visaton woofers, custom crossovers and a Pyle amp. Then an additional sound dampening.

 

Vinyl Records | Vinyl Record Albums | Vinyl LP Records - SoundStage Direct in Doylestown. Lots of stuff there.

 

I tried a long time to live without decent tunes in our 2004 MCS. When we bought it had a blown driver's door speaker. We had all the speakers replaced about a year after we bought it. JL all the way. Huge improvement! Worth it totally!

When I got my GP last year it too had a blown door speaker. Again...I tried to ignore it. After traveling 8000 miles last summer I decided it needed to upgraded. I went with an Alpine system, got it to work with the steering wheel controls, added an amp and rear speakers, and some Dynamat here and there. I'm happy with the Alpine R Series speakers, not too pricey, great sound, and they're durable so far. Since the GP's 'front door only' speaker setup lacks I added a pair of 5x8" speakers in the sidewall boot holes with some custom mounts, and that really makes a huge change! Even with a loud burbly exhaust I can hear my tunes!

 

They are cheap speakers and are not protected from water. Make sure you Dynamat your doors (outer skin and inner door skin) and seal or use a waterproof plastic to keep them dry. I test fit my speakers and made a baffle behind them with think plastic. I sealed them to the door with Dynamat.

The Dynamat will make your speakers sound so much better. It will add a nice low end kick and get rid of that speaker in a tin can sound. You will be able to hear all the music inside you car and not waste audio waves in the doors.

 

Parts Express has lots of good components to make custom systems for both car and home. Parts Express: the #1 source for audio, video & speaker building components

No I don't work for them I just like them.

 

There are still funky sources for tunes.
Grimey's New & Preloved Music

Todd Snider (video at above site) even gets radio play and is best heard on cheap car speakers.

 

I should not have clicked that link. I love audio and I can drop a lot of money real fast.

Thanks for the link.

 

Ok so I see where my next bundle of money has to be spent...
