2008 BMW 335i full custom sound system.

Being the owner of a BMW, this client is very accustomed to some of the finer things in life and he expected nothing less from his sound system.  When you are looking for the best, you deal with the best and use only the best products available to accomplish the task at hand.  This customer chose our facility to perform the work on his vehicle because we are known for our attention to detail and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

The first challenge when adding a sound system to this vehicle is dealing with the fiber optics system.  We used a Mobridge DA-1000 which basically goes in place of the factory amplifier and converts the vehicles fiber optic audio feed

into a standard Toslink optical connection.  This was then fed into the optical input on an Audison Bit One where we can take advantage of 32 band EQ’s, custom crossovers, time delay and more.  We crossed over each of the 8 channels of output on the Bit One appropriately so that the tweeters, midrange speakers, midbass speakers, and subwoofers had their own discrete outputs allowing them to be adjusted independently from the convenience of the drivers seat using the USB connection that replaced the cigarette lighter.  These signals were then feed to the inputs on 3 separate Mosconi

amplifiers which were mounted to a custom amp rack in the trunk.  Once amplified, the signal was then sent to a pair of Hybrid Audio L1R2 ring radiator tweeters mounted in custom A-Pillars, a pair of Hybrid L4SE midrange speakers mounted in custom built kick pods, two pairs of Hybrid L6SE midbass speakers mounted in custom door pods and finally a pair of Morel Ultimo 10″ subwoofers in a custom enclosure that fired the subs through the vehicles ski pass.  To add a little flare, we mounted some white LED strips to shine on the subwoofers just enough to invite you to look closer.

Here you can see the enclosure wrapped and subwoofers mounted. The foam helps to seal the subs off so that all the sound comes through the ski pass.

Here you can see the 4 bolts that secure the enclosure to the vehicle using factory mounting points.

Once secured in place, the back of the enclosure is screwed back on, sealing the enclosure.

Here you can see the subwoofers firing through the ski pass, allowing the bass into the cabin, and the subtle glow of the led strips.

Here, the Audison Bit One and Mobridge DA-1000 are mounted on a plastic plate in place of the factory amplifier.

The three Mosconi amplifiers are stacked up nice and neat behind the enclosure.

We made a trim piece to cover up the cut that was made in the floor piece and the screws that hold the back of the enclosure on.

The controller for the Bit One was mounted in a custom made piece that took place of the factory ashtray. Note the USB connection to the right.

The door closes just like it should to conceal what is there.

The Hybrid Audio tweeters were mounted in custom built a-pillars for excellent imaging.

Here, you can see one of two pairs of Hybrid Audio L6SE’s in custom made pods in the drivers door.

This shot of the passenger’s door shows just how tight a fit it was to get these in there!

This is the passenger’s side kickpod which houses a Hybrid Audio L4SE and a protective grille.

Here is the drivers side. We removed the factory dead pedal and some of the foam underneath to allow for accurate imaging.
