Phoenix Gold Phorum

I came, i saw, i conquered. i came. wait er....forget that part.


anyways i loved my old kicks, but they had a problem with rattling because the vynil had come undone in a couple places and on certain bass notes would be extremely irritating.

Special thanks to Errin for letting me borrow his air saw....i almost declined claiming "i can just use some shears i have....I'm super glad i didn't

the end result is great. they don't sound much different. the sound stage has raised a bit, but there are no rattles at all! and the added leg room is a bonus.

also, i didn't take pictures of the factory panel over the speakers yet. it looks like a stock e36 kick panel though so nothing to impressive, just stock looking

BOOOO! Weak sauce

um, why?

What was that about "no saw will ever touch your car"?

yeah...let me tell you how hard that was to overcome. definitely not something i plan on making a habit of.

Did you do the same thing that Brett did?

basically, but his was imaged better and he went through a ton more work to do it.

i just cut out the factory 5.25 holes bigger and deadened the hell out of it.

he cut away the panel so he could mount the thing all the way in the corner and then built a sick ass custom interior panel

hehehe I won.....put the tweet down there too......its amazing.

^we will see about all that one project at a time. now that their are no rattels, i should be done with my front stage for a while and hopefully work on cramming all my gear in the trunk

because it weak sorry ..... mr no saw will ever touch my car.

you have access to a great installer in the same cube as you and what do you do.....fire up the air saw and hack away.....then again it's just a BMW.


ok never mind not weak ....just funny

it was a pretty controlled hack, plus it was partially based on errin's suggestion.

not to mention, there is another pretty decent installer in my cube...me

i wont really worry to much about your comments though considering you don't even have a system in your vehicle.

what ever you have to tell your self to justify dropping ~25 on one.

So that everyone is clear, when I finally start doing my install, the saw will be going through several blades..........

best shirt ever^

Ok here you go…. Audi A4 = B5 platform


R32 = A4 platform

Justification = Because I can !!!.....that’s the only justification I will ever need.

Don’t hate just emulate.

By saying the R32 is just “a v6 a4 with the back cut off. Congratulations”
Is like me saying congratulations your 3 series is just a grown up mini or a 5 series shrunk down by magic pixy dust.

Point being, your logic is flawed. Now if you said your R32 is just a Audi TT with a hatch or an Audi S3 with a different badge you would have been closer to hitting your mark.


In short



you fail.

thanks for playing come back soon.

I don't want to derail this thread very much but hell, it's already been derailed.

The R32 looks me to like it has a TT engine in a (slightly modified) Golf body. I understand some of the subtle differences between the look of a Golf and the look of an R32 but you'd be hard pressed to find normal people be able to tells the difference or notice the visual differences between the Golf and the R32.

That said, most people also can't tell the difference between a 3 series and a 5 series BMW...

I don't know where I was going with any of that. Just comments.

just because you are about the same age, doesn't make you Winston Churchill.

rofl, i don't know if comparing your car to a TT helped your case any you probibly should have stuck closer to the A4

i don't need convincing, i don't really care what you drive. it seems like you are upset with your own cars engineering shortcomings and trying to convince yourself that you aren't some sucker who paid a premium for repackaged car with a limited production.

also, may i remind you who came into who's thread with no other goal then to fling poo.

don't know if you noticed but the thread sort of moved on without you.

ok you win
