Anybody know a good aftermarket audio shop in the area? I want to put in an Alpine amp and a 10in sub (2007 335i, no idrive)

If you're the least bit savvy, it's a pretty simple DIY. Just a little time consuming.

When I had my GTI I took it to a place called Hurley's in Tysons Corner and they did a great job (they installed a touch screen nav, bluetooth module, and satellite radio). But that was about three years ago...

If you need help let me know. I do too much driving for work but if you want to come to Alexandria its a 30 minute install if you take your time to do things neatly. I don't mine helping you out in exchange for a chipotle burrito if Walter Reed ever found out I would work for chipotle I'd be in trouble - I seriously have a problem

[chillnva1978]

Thx all... FlyLow335i I might have to take you up on it.. what part of ALX are you in? Of course there'd be more in it for you than chipotle lol...

So... what do I need... can I tap somewhere for sub inputs? I have the cheapo OEM sound system.

I have done it on my e90 m3 *sniff sold* and it was pretty easy. Battery in the back and tap four wires. I did run the ignition cable from the front though. I made a wood plank fit over the multi disc changer spot and used velcro to hold it in place. I would love to see the end result for your car though. I am considering putting one in my e92 to put some weight on the back.

Do you have pics? You put in a separate batt for the amp? Why no Cap?

My DIY on M3Post No separate battery and no need for cap since I wasn't pushing that hard.
