My friend currently gets Eclipse accommodations from his work and due to moving will be quiting the job so I need to get my order in!
I mainly need help with speaker choices as I already have this as a definite:
AVN6610 with Bluetooth Pack (double din Nav)
BEC106 Back-Eye Camera
CH3083 8-Disc CD Changer
Money really isn't an issue with those above I'd already be saving $995 compared to retail. I don't own a bmw yet, but I need to jump in on this, and I'm hoping to possibly finalize a deal tomorrow :excited:

Now I want to replace all the speakers. The car wouldn't have Harmon Kardon. I would install the door speakers to the door and not the panel. Now some questions.
Short version: tell me which models of door speakers and amp you would use. Include sub and appropriate amp (5chan if capable) if sub will make much notice as I've heard they don't in the 3 series.***
Long version: Would I be wanting component speakers or regular? I noticed it has tweeters in the door too I think, which separate tweeters are also available if I didn't get component 6 1/2's. And so which model would be recommended? Component, Point Source of Integrated? Same question for the rear speakers.
The car doesn't have the ski pass. Would adding one of those deck mounted boxes and adding a sub even make a noticable difference? Not looking for booming but I enjoy bass. Bad thing is Eclipse site doesn't have depth sizes so not sure if the 12 would fit or 2 10's in the boxes BSW makes.
Amps. I'd like to have an amp for the full range speakers or would it not really be much difference? Also if a sub would come into play they have a 5 channel that would push 300w rms to the sub which would be nice not having to deal with 2 sep amps. Not looking for anything crazy custom, just a good upgrade. If a sub wouldn't make much of a notice then I would just get door speakers and a 4 channel amp. They have 2 series' available for this too.
Recommendations and suggestions please.
Thanks in advance!
