Rear Speakers Retrofit

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All
My 1998 E38 740I seems to have come with the rather basic sound system, meaning that it did not come with DSP or the rear speakers...
I managed to source myself the complete rear deck with the speakers the other day from a crashed 98 E38.
My question is, is this just a plug and play job? If I take off the rear deck, is it just a matter of plugging in the rear speakers and away we go? I have the BMW Business Radio...
Many Thanks
BB

	Is there not an amp behind the carpet for the 7 series, up on the left hand side,i think its just a preamp to give it a bit more kick, they should sound ok but if volume is lacking id go looking for the amp module, not 100% on the e38 but all bmw's ive had generally have the full wiring loom and you just piggy back into them with the missing modules etc. Realoem seems to just show the speakers, so i reckon they will just plug into the generic amp module on any model. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=GF82&mospi d=47517&btnr=65_0227&hg=65&fg=20 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=GF82&mospi d=47517&btnr=65_0847&hg=65&fg=95
