Do you think I have gone overboard slightly to achieve bass? For the money I paid for the enclosure, amp & sub I thought it was very good value for money. BUT have I gone too far?? LOL.!!

I had no feedback yet from our Z3ers which is quiet worrying.

Im getting mine done tomorrow for £120.00 to replace the window. What they do is unzip the old one, take out the zip and sow it onto the same material and re-seal it! They also have 1 year warranty to go with it. I called BMW park lane for one that amount to 140.00 so not really worth buying one and...
