When everything is back together make sure all of the plugs and wire harnesses are connected before reconnecting your battery and starting your vehicle.
If something is unplugged ie. Airbag wire harness, then yes you'll get a code most likely.

why did you do that set instead of the BMW setup, it looks to be a direct fit in our cars....CDT audio.......

I didn't see this BMW specific setup when I was picking out my speakers.
The CDT Audio 3 way's I went with were $299, and the BMW is basically the same thing it looks like but more expensive.

1bigpea,
on your line output converter, do you really need a 2 line converter ? or you can use a single one ? the output on the under the seat speakers is under any croosover ? or the signal is clear. i'm thinking of setting up an audio computer system on the car, like harman kardon soundsticks III, dissamble then and adapthen but still leaving the factory stock working, only removing under the seats and put then subwoofer there.. i will have to built a custome box for the sub, i'm thinking is this setup because is way cheapper than buying amp, speakers, and i't sounds great for the volume on the cabin... any thoughts ?

I'm not really sure about using an audio computer system since i've never done one before. You would still need an amp for the subs under the seats and there is not a lot of room for good air movement for the bass because of the size of the box you would have under the seat.
Also, if you want to turn the volume up past the "factory max", I don't know how you would be able to with a computer system. However you can with a line out converter.
Oh, I responded to your PM too, sorry for the late response.

For my setup I did need the 2 channel converter.

Hi,
There's no need for the amp, cause the 2.1 or 5.1 system allready has it's own amp, some of then with THX or DSP.
When i ask the crossover, is beacause i want to conect then like you under the seat, is there i'm going to get the audio signal, but if only comes with the lows, the hole system will not work. regarding the space, yhea i'll need to costume a box for it, but it's possible. unless your looking for a "radio on wheels" i'm searching for more quallity not power
best regards.

Do you remember how deep the boxes under the seats were?
You mentioned cutting them out. What are they molded into that they had to be cut out of? They can't be unbolted from the floor?
What happened to all the pics you had in here previously? I'd really like a good look at those boxes, hopefully with the driver removed.
Sweet looking install by the way.

1bigpea, glad to see some one else has done a true SQ install. I am looking to do a similar project and would love to see the pics of your install as well. I have been trying to scour the net for info, but outside of this thread there doesn't seem to be a lot of good info. Were you able to get a countryman reference manual or technical diagrams? Thanks for sharing and helping out others looking to upgrade their cm's audio.
