    Dumb Amp-Speaker power question

    ok, in my neverending quest for a small amp, I have found two more options. First is the Blaupunkt PA2100 amp; class "T" 2 x 100RMS with a small foot print. I have read pretty good things about these on the bmw forums and they have installed them in the factory spot no problem. Anyone have...

    Dumb Amp-Speaker power question

    This amp is getting sent to me, but it sounds like the dimensions I was given were wrong; with a length of 11+ inches, it won't come close to fitting. I haven't seen it in person yet, but it is sounding like I won't have to. Not good. Guess this will go in the P5. When I tore apart the trunk...

    Dumb Amp-Speaker power question

    Newbie. A little help...if I have an amp that puts out 30W RMS per channel/speaker and the speakers I am looking at list their power range as 40-100 watts, am I setting myself up for a bad thing here? Will it sound like hell? What would happen?

    Wheel circumfrence variance

    Howdy- How much wheel diameter variance from stock do you guys feel comfortable with? 1"? 1.5? I've heard one inch equals about 4% error on your speedometer; I can get a really sweet deal on some tires, but the sidewall is a bit smaller than stock. It calcs out to about an inch off stock in...
