| The factory speaker location in the rear side panels was not suitable for our MB Quart QSD 213 speakers. So we relocated them about 10" back to fit the larger driver and improve sound quality. |

| In order to do this, the side panels had to be rebuilt and recovered in OEM vinyl. We were able to reuse the original grilles for that factory look. Only a keen eye would notice that the speakers are not in their original location. In the front doors we installed MB Quart QSD 216, 6.5" speakers. |

| Here you see the construction stages of the trunk install. The M3 comes with no spare tire so we utilized the small area to fit the three 10" subs and two Kicker amplifiers. |

| A 1/2" piece of acrylic was bent to contour the oval window in the amp rack. Then the M logo was traced and cut out. This also acts as a hot-air exit from the fan cooled amp rack. |

| Along with the audio system, two custom visors were made with 5" LCD TVs to compliment the Pioneer in-dash flip-out and 6.5" screen mounted below it along with two more Pioneer 6.5" screens in the headrests. |

| The finished trunk shows of all the equipment including a 1 Farad capacitor built into the removable battery cover. A aluminum Sound in Motion plaque credits us with the install. |

| A custom fabricated red neon sidelights the M logo for a cool effect. Two more red neon
backlight the four MB Quart QSD crossovers flush mounted in the left side of the trunk.
