Looks like my drivers side 8" sub woofer is out. It just pops every once and awhile, passenger side is still pumping.
Called BMW up looks like a $700+ part, so don't look like I'll be going with stealership and cant seem to find any on ebay.
You guys know if I can just swap it out with another 8" sub or that cant be down with the L7?
Thanks, Mikey

Ok so which one of you guys is right? aresh or sunny? aresh says that I can use his sub since its 2 ohm and that's what the L7 amp wants to see, but sunny's sub is 4 ohm? i'm confused now
Can anyone confirm that the seat has to be removed to replace? where's harjothundal when ya need him, someone tell him I need help here lol

Ok I just ordered 1 "Earthquake SWS-8XI" at 2ohms, looks like I do have to remove the seat according to the TIS software.
I'll let ya guys know how it goes when it comes in.
