Suggestions for E93
After reading on this and other forums for months
I think I decided what I'd like to do to start improving my E93 audio (no L7), and I would like some suggestions: 1) New amp: I would like to go with a 50/60W per channel amp in the $3/400 range. I know it has to be stable at 2ohms for the stock subs. -Which brand? -Do I need 4 channels or 6 channels to power all 10 drivers? -Is the stock amp on the E93 behind the head unit in the center console? -Would the new amp replace or tap off the stock amp? 2) Front tweeters replacement: since I want to keep the mid drivers for now, do I need to replace the crossovers as well? Thanks! |

amp is located in the trunk on the left side underneath the storage compartment. in my setup the amp was tapped at the output and sent to a high level convertor and then to a TruTechnology line driver. i then feed a TruTechnology 4 channel amp and drive aftermarket Dyanaudio components.

Can you tell me more about the Dynaudio? Did you install yourself? I thought the midrange was too deep for the convertible. Did you have to do a lot of tweaking? |

Nice platform for an eventual speakers upgrade. It is some $350 at eBay. 2) Swap the OEM amp first, tune it and then decide if you need a tweeter upgrade. |

it was quite expensive. the sound is nothing short of astonishing. The mids are mounted through the top of the door panel. Dynaudio makes some of the finest studio/home/car audio loudspeakers. Dyn's aren't cheap. I wasn't making any real suggestion, just giving you an idea of what I did with my car. I also have a 12" Dynaudio sub mounted behind the back seat.

Also, I seem to remember a post saying that the 2 subs under the seats are powered by a single channel from the OEM amp. The JL would have 2 channels available for the subs, correct? |

i don't see how anyone could get these to fit behind the door. even for top mounting i had to grind down the back of the basket.

I thought on the back seat in the trunk could be a good option. Anyone care to share a picture? Thanks |
