Let me know how the compact one works for you.

Hah, I haven't installed mine in my M3 yet. I've just been playing around with it on my home stereo. Not having an internal amp in the empeg means I really have to get my ducks in a row and decide what I want to do with the entire system (speakers? crossovers? sub?) before I tear into this. It isn't just a simple head-unit swap like my Blaupunkt Toronto was.
