Integral Audio system in a Coupe??

Hi all,

I sorely regret not getting a better sound system in my Coupe.

Has anyone added the Integral Audio system to a Coupe and how big is the sub (where does it go)? I don't know if the R56 and R58 have the same storage layout.

The Coupe has a wall and rear deck trim piece that separates the trunk from the rest of the car. Do I need a sub considering the small two seat cubic ft area of the interior on the Coupe, as well as, a completely separate trunk? The rear 6x9 speakers are on the rear wall facing the driver/pass seats.

I want a system that sounds as good as the HK system.

Thanks for any and all feedback.

It'll work. The sub is a 10" shallow mount. The sound is amazing - the HK is, well, not even close...

IA R58

There is one photo on Integral Audio's site of a pic of the Coupe trunk area. It looks like the truck floor is raised. I assume that is the sub?? Anyone got any additional photos?? Many thanks!!

Yes - the floor is "raised". The sub is underneath.

False floor in place.

I got the HK audio system but it doesn't sound great at all (maybe on pair with a standard audio on BMW and MBenz)

So I install a JL sub with JL amp, and a DSP to remap my HK audio

I got it custom build on my R58, didn't raise the floor but use up the heighten area. I also put some of my design thought into it. Enjoy
