Default JL subwoofer project for my E60 LCI with Logic7

I cant have a car without messing with the stereo!

So here we go...

My "blueprint"



3/4 MDF







Countersink holes and drywall screws



Angle fits perfect with the rear seat wall



11" hole for the 12w6



Sealed with a low odor Acrylic silicone



Sanded off the rough edges



Carpeting





Barely visible cuts











Wiring in a BMW is stupid easy



Harness from Technic on the forum, brilliant



Installed the amp underneath the shelf



Thats all I had time for now, more photos coming!!

I heard a ported box is best for the E60 trunks to get the best bass, is this true?

Could be true, i notice that i have to take down the 40 seat to really hear it, the trunk is very sealed so that takes away quite a lot of the bass! Maybe ill build a ported box later on and try.

For the Amp, Do you need to have the 2.2 farad capacitor or not ? I have same set up like you but still waiting for Technic for the harness cable. The cables are currently back order few weeks
