I am very happy over all.  I’m really surprised it sounds this good with only using the speaker level outs with a relatively cheap amp/sub.

If anyone is interested, the MB Quart ONX1.1000D is just about the biggest amp you can fit in that space.

Now as always I just wish I had more EQ/Level control.  The 45hz boost helps, but not always what I want.  It will have to do for now.  Oh I for got to take a pic of the boost controler, I mounted if just next to the shifter, down low.  Nice spot.

I planned on getting more power than I’d need and I was right.  But that’s ok, I like to run things like this at 60% anyway, especially when they are on the cheaper side:).

Hello,

I found out that the Bluetooth mic in my (and I’m assuming all) mini is actually on the passenger side.  Maybe this is leftover from right hand drive?  Or maybe they think (and honestly probably right) that since it’s a omnidirectional mic the placement isn’t too critical.

Moving it was easy enough though so I figured I’d give it a shot, since people can rarely hear me too clearly and I’d like to fix that.

I figured I’ll try the move first and see if that fixes anything and if it doesn’t at least I’ll know how to get at the mic and can look in to buying a better sounding mic.  I am a sound guy so I should be able to find something a little better, maybe get something a little more

directional since I’m less concerned my passengers being able talk on the phone.

The outer cover comes of really easy and you’ll see the mic.  Once you have the mic out and unplugged, the wire just needs to be redirected to the drivers side.  That was a little hard with my big fingers, but still got it in 5-10 minutes.  There is a slot on both sides that hold the mic so just replug it in and snap it back in place.

Over all a pretty easy mod, no tools needs (if you have skinny fingers:)).

Hello,

Made some more progress today.  Sub and Sub box are in.  I still need to buy some wiring before I do the next step and run power back from the battery, and line level back from the front.

I also was able to glue some soft mounts for the amp and even shave a couple of the screws off so I’d have some more room for the amp, this amp is just barely gonna fit:).
