Replacing Stock Amplifier

[infared21]

I have an Infinity Basslink that I want to install on my '96 328i as well as a pair of Infinity Kappa 63.5i 3-Way rear deck speakers. Will the stock amp handle these? Also will those rear deck speakers fit fine with my car?

Power Handling, Peak: 225 Watts
Frequency Response (±3dB): 45Hz -22kHz

a good rule of thumb is always replace the stock amp.

i dont need to say any more

[infared21]

lol.. i figured... any suggestions?

[Furious]

well any audio shop will tell you to bypass that amp al together, wether that means taking it out all together or leaving it in and bypassing with all new wiring.
as for suggestions i dunno , i guess any type of 4 channel amp will work .

Those speakers wont fit without modifing the rear deck. The factory size is 4.

i have a basslink and infinity's all around (coax in the back, component up front), i've left the stock amp in due to lack of money but as far as the basslink goes i just spliced into the speakers, works fine - it really all depends on how great of a system you want

Bavauto has a basslink with the proper connections to just hook in to a e36 and not have to rewire anything. Just unplug stock amp, plug in basslink, plug stock amp back in. instant bass.
