Bobbak, your set up is fine the way it is.

i was planning on hooking up my xbox to my car as well as being able to use the comp while in the car like for example when its raining or something like last night at work i couldnt use it because of the rain to check my email but 600 does seem like a lot im probly gonna look for a cheaper one but id really like to have that kind of design i like the original design i have but not having any trunk space kinda sux so i wanna fix that flaw

Have you thought about screwing all of the wiring, and electronic equipment behind your sub box? Or instead of screwing everything, maybe make an additional THIN box with the same hight and lenght and put that behind the sub. It may clean up your trunk a little bit but definately not to some peoples standards (including mine).

PS: What is with the ridiculous orange colour plastered all over your car? Maybe its just some american thing that I don't get?

I'm pretty sure that's the theme of the car, he's got orange LTW flags on the outside.

yeah, its bobby's favorite color. he made his own color theme to his ti. trust me, it defines bobby. lol.
but yeah bobby. that'll look pretty cool, the new screen, but itll be costly.

at first i thought this whole 'project' was a spoof on what peple are doing to trucks and hondas, and the ridiculous praise was part of the joke, but then i realized this is for real and barfed a little in my mouth. my mouth still tastes the way that box looks.

seriously why the praise? brushed on paint and wires all over the trunk? seriously, is this a middle school project for special kids where everyone gets a ribbon?

if you want to do something do it right or don't bother. it has nothing to do with budget but personal aptitude and this speaks volumes about who and what you are.

We praise hard work. Its not every day a person takes on such a project by themselves. The wires may not be hidden yet but that comes with time. Bobbak will eventually be building a custom box to hide all the wires and amp.
The way the box looks as i have read fits the owner personality very well. Its his car not yours right? So why do you care what color his box is? If you looked at pictures of his car you could also tell that it matches his car and the taste he has.

Just because someone wanted to build a computer into their "trunk" as you call it does not mean they could afford or make time to build it exactly how they wanted it. they wanted to make sure it would all work correctly first. then go to the next level of customization.

hard work is (as far as the layman goes) is when you rebuild your own engine, or do a suspension swap or something to that effect- appreciate that. but stop encouraging mediocraty.

this is just too funny though, i seriously thought this whole post was a joke, but reading all the ardent support it must be for real.

either way, i was just browsing and have no vested interest in discussing the aestethics of orange boxes and why avant garde must be turning in its grave in this post modern age where everything goes and everyone's a winner.

[thesk8nmidget]

do you think we think that this is a top job of an install?

its called being supportive of your fellow bmw owners.

you should try it sometime! he never said in hear look at the best computer install you have ever seen! he simply gave it a shot and did good for his first time.

he isnt getting paid to do this. it isnt going in magazines. he just did it for fun and to have the ability to be online when they have their ti meets in so cal.

Yeah I thought it was a neat setup too.

How about sharing some pictures of your car with mods done right? We can all learn from a fellow like yourself! Post up some pics......I'm anxious to see them!!

[jgrimm]

Yeah, I'd say put your money where your mouth is.
Even though I would never do this to my car, I'm pretty sure that I actually would never be able to figure out how to do it. At least he deserves that credit.
