That is superb! That enclosure looks great, if I ever get the time this is a project I would love to take on!

I am glad I'm not the only one with trouble finding space to install ICE in an e34 tourer, I have had to create a box above the jack housing as there wasn't enough space under the floor for all the kit, I have about 6 boxes to fit so had to make an enclosure above the jack space. Its Ok most of the time but when carrying awkward loads it can be a pain. Theres just nowhere else to put it all! Good job on that install!

Any recomendations on the best speakers (or type of speaker) to replace the OEM roof mount items?

To be quite honest, I think the only thing that really needs doing now is to have the front speakers amped up - the system sounds almost perfectly balanced with the shift in sub sound quality.

If you really want to test if a sound system's working/balanced - play a copy of Martin Grech - Open Heart Zoo (Think Lexus Ad) at high volume and see what happens. It's what all the Sound Technician boffins at theatres/cinemas use to audibly check calibration - if it's even slightly out, the track will sound horrible.

The rear speakers will be a challenge for you methinks, from what I remember, their housings havent got much depth to fit something with a more substantial coil.
