Where did you pull a source for the amp from? I would like to add a subwoofer to my wife's '07 550i (just traded her '00 /M Roadster for it last Fri) stock system, but am unsure as where I should tap into with the LOC.

Thanks!

You have an amp in the left (drivers side) behind where you see my box depends if you have Logic 7 or not, anyway same thing you'll have Hi-Level inputs there. A quick search on the forum will take you right to the diagram.

Car looks great. What's the gadget next to the Rearview mirror?
As far as equipment, I chose the Kicker for space and basic needs. Which it delivers an 11 in both departments. I'm not into all the ear damage like when i was 17. Just not me. You have a nice garage and driveway though......See that's the stuff i'd be interested in now that I'm in my old age.
