UK Base audio upgrade

Started to upgrade the audio in my new F30 320d M Sport

Car has base audio (stereo) and iDrive (No Nav), using setup I had in my E90.

Didn't mean to start today just went out this morning to check to see if the harness that I got from Technic for my E90 would work in the F30 and it does (Photos attached showing harness)

Going to install the following kit:-

Alpine PXE-H650 Audio Processor
JL XD700/5 700W 5 channel amp
Focal 100KRS K2 - Not sure if I can use these yet ( will need to see if there is speaker mounts available)

Threads which helped:-

B33M3R's - Full Audio install ( used this as a base guide for my e90 )

So far I have got all the harness's installed from the front to the rear, and have striped the boot but have slowed down a bit has I have had to make mounts out of mdf to hold the AMP and audio processor.

Have decided to mount the amp and audio in the space were the cd changer would go (pics to come), tried to mount the processor in the same I had it in the e90 (shown in the attached pics) but there is not the same room in the F30.

off on monday so hopefully I'll get some more done.
