Well descided to start a new install in the mini, i previously had a full alpine R type set up but didnt have enough bass, so ive changed the subs and amps but kept the type R speakers because i like the sound of them.

so far ive got the 2 new subs, the headunit, the bluetooth, the amp and all the perspex.
once the car comes back i can start building. heres a few pics of the gear going in.
will keep updating as i go along.

im using 2 alpine swx1042d's 1000w/rms 3000w/peak each, iva-d106r 7" touchscreen, pdx 1.1000 digital mono amp, kce-350 blutooth, swr17c comps upfront, swr-69c 6x9's in the back. 10mm prespex sheet and 25mm perspex tube for mounting the amp. also 25mm thick sheet etched with the alpine logo for the box.

Looks pretty expensive spec to me :thumbsup:
I love music, don't get me wrong, I love bass too, but unless you're gonna get everything sealed in correctly etc, mini's aren't the place for subs in my opinion!

yep 24 LEDs to go in it so it lights up the alpine. Danny it wasnt as dear as i thought it would be. 400mm x 300mm x 25mm thick and etched cost me £55. dont think thats too bad in my eyes! well worth it when u see the plastic taken of it!!
