Hi,
Just wanted to know if I can use an external amplifier to drive the above speakers?

If so how do I connect it to my amplifier speaker output?

Hi,

Thanks for all the link, but my car is the BMW F10 and not the E series. All I wanted to know is if anyone is running the Rockford speakers with an external amplifier?

The sound systems are pretty much the same
between models.
So what applys to 3 series is going to pretty much
apply to the 5 series.
I suggest you contact Makann00 if you want to do your
car right and/or study the links.

Those speakers are overpriced
Also they have low power rating.
A kit like the following for a base system would beat the pants of them
and be a much better deal.

So why are you asking this in the E-chassis forum?

Also there are a limited amount of speaker that fit in these cars do to thin doors and under seat enclosures.
