Emblem Measurements & Subwoofer Request
Hi all,
I need assistance with two things for my 2003 E55:
1) Can anyone tell me how far up and from the side of the fenders the V8 Kompressor emblems are? I took them off to paint them and I want to put them back on in their original fitment locations.
2) My subwoofer needs replacing and was wondering if I should get an OEM one (don't know the item number) or an aftermarket less expensive one? Any suggestions on what brands are good? This is out of my knowledge base.
Any and all responses are appreciated.

Question #1:
Just measured mine
Drivers side the top of the letter R is .5" from the end of the fender panel. The bottom of the R is 4" from the top of the side strip insert (hope this makes sense)
Strangely the passenger side is slightly different
And I am 99% sure my car has never seen paint / repair
Passenger side the top of the V is 1.25" from the end of the fender panel. The bottom of the V is just over 4.5" from the top of the side strip insert.
Hope this helps

JL, Alpine, eD, Boston Acoustic, AR to name a few...depends on how much you want to spend...If you are going to just do a straight replace, you'll want to select a unit that is designed for the trunk volume or try to make a sealed enclosure...
